Senior Deployment Lead/Team Lead

Senior Deployment Lead/Team Lead

DG Operations, GHVEC

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Deployment Project Engineer to join our ADMS deployment organization, with a clear path toward taking on the Deployment Team Lead role.

This position is designed for someone who combines strong hands-on technical deployment experience with technical and people leadership capabilities.

During the initial approximately six-month onboarding and transition period, you will work directly on ADMS customer projects as a Deployment Project Engineer/Deployment Lead.

This will allow you to gain in-depth knowledge of our ADMS solution, deployment architecture, project lifecycle, tools, processes, procedures and ways of working, while building strong relationships with the deployment team and key project stakeholders.

Following this transition period, the expectation is that you will progressively take ownership of the Deployment Team Lead role, while remaining close to the technical work and supporting critical deployment activities when required.

This is therefore not a purely managerial position.

We are looking for a leader who understands deployment from first-hand experience and is comfortable combining technical delivery, technical leadership and people leadership.

* Review project documentation such as SoW, RFP and ToC to identify deployment scope, assumptions, dependencies and risks.
