Exerizon is a fast-growing strategy and technology consulting firm founded by former senior leaders from global consulting and cloud organizations. We help current and future market leaders tackle their greatest challenges — from digital strategy and cloud transformation to data & AI platforms and application modernization. We redefined the traditional consulting model: we share risk with our clients through impact-based remuneration, and we share ownership with our people from day one.
We are looking for a Senior Technical Delivery Manager to lead data platform programmes for our clients — lakehouse and warehouse builds, migrations and modernisation on Databricks and Snowflake. This is a technical leadership role, not a pure PMO seat: you own scope, plan, budget, quality and the client relationship, and you understand the architecture, the pipelines and the cost model well enough to challenge both the team and the client.
What you will do:
- Lead end-to-end delivery of data platform engagements — mobilisation, discovery, build, migration, go-live and hypercare — on Databricks and Snowflake, typically on Azure or AWS
- Own the delivery plan, scope, budget, staffing and risk register; run steering committees and report to client executives with no surprises
- Shape and defend the technical approach with the lead architect: lakehouse (medallion) vs. warehouse-centric design, ingestion patterns (batch, CDC, streaming), transformation (dbt, Delta Live Tables), orchestration (Databricks Workflows, Azure Data Factory, Airflow), data quality and observability
- Run the engineering cadence: backlog, sprint planning, release management, environment strategy and CI/CD discipline (Git, Databricks Asset Bundles, Terraform, Snowflake schema change management), definition of done
- Manage migration workstreams from legacy platforms (Oracle, Teradata, SQL Server, on-prem Hadoop) to cloud: data reconciliation, cut-over planning, parallel run, decommissioning
- Keep platform economics under control: DBU and Snowflake credit consumption, warehouse and cluster sizing, cluster policies, FinOps reporting to the client
- Build governance in from the start: Unity Catalog / Snowflake Horizon, access models, PII handling, lineage and audit — to the standard regulated clients (banking, insurance, healthcare) expect
- Lead mixed teams of 5–15 data engineers, architects, analysts and QA drawn from Exerizon, the client and vendors; coach and grow them
- Contribute to Exerizon's growth: proposals and estimates, delivery methods and accelerators, pre-sales support
