Delivery Director - Enterprise Data Modernization Programs

Job Description: Delivery Director - Enterprise Data Modernization Programs | Onsite, US | 15+ years Anblicks is seeking senior delivery leaders to direct large enterprise data modernization engagements, including complex, regulated, single-account transformations at major enterprises. This is a delivery-first role for leaders who have driven legacy-to-modern data platform programs hands-on; generic program management backgrounds without data modernization delivery depth will not be a fit. Key Responsibilities - Direct end-to-end delivery for a portfolio of modernization engagements or a single very large enterprise account: integrated plan, dependencies, delivery risk, and milestone attainment. - Own every delivery gate from discovery and architecture alignment through migration, data validation, parallel run, user acceptance, cutover, and hypercare. - Drive accelerated, AI-enabled delivery using conversion tooling and reusable frameworks; hold teams to validation and reconciliation discipline before every cutover. - Manage senior client stakeholders in complex, often regulated environments; run risk management and change management across client and delivery organizations. - Coordinate multi-vendor ecosystems (client teams, cloud and platform partners) and multi-shore delivery teams. - Ensure milestone-based commercial governance on fixed-bid engagements. Qualifications - 15+ years in data-centric delivery leadership; direct experience running enterprise data migration or modernization programs. - Demonstrated, hands-on leadership of data platform modernization programs (legacy to modern cloud platforms), including AI-enabled and accelerator-driven delivery, migration planning, data validation and reconciliation strategies, parallel runs, and cutover execution. - Experience with regulated industries (financial services, insurance, healthcare) strongly preferred. - Strong stakeholder, risk, and change management record at senior client levels. - MarTech and customer-data domain exposure is a strong plus. - Familiarity with Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, and modern engineering toolchains.
