Director of Innovation Delivery

Job Summary :

As a Director of Innovation Delivery you will build AI-native products. You’ll lead cross-functional Innovation Delivery Squads—owning outcomes end-to-end across web, mobile, AI agents, and streaming backends. You’re a hands-on technical leader who can scope, architect, staff, and ship; then run the product safely at scale.

Responsibilities :

• Stand up and run squads (Discovery → Prototype → Product → Platform & SRE).
• Design and ship RAG / agent systems : pick models (e.g., Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google, or open-weights like Llama / Mistral), define tools / functions, and choose retrieval (default Postgres + pgvector, scale to Weaviate / Qdrant / Pinecone when needed).
• Operate AI safely : evals & guardrails, structured outputs (JSON / Schema), PII redaction, refusal policies, cost / latency budgets, and LLM observability.
• Own delivery outcomes : SLOs, quality, cost, velocity; release with feature flags and canaries.
• Be client-facing : discovery, scoping, SoW, roadmap, QBRs.
• Hire / coach Tech Leads, EMs, and PMs; level up practices.
