Description

Job Description: Service Delivery Manager (SDM)
Location: United States (Remote)
FTE
Salary – 140-165K

About the Role
We are seeking a seasoned Service Delivery Manager (SDM) to lead and scale our cloud operations function in the United States. This is a high-impact leadership role at the intersection of engineering excellence, enterprise customer success, and executive stakeholder management. The ideal candidate is a seasoned cloud operations leader who has run large-scale production environments and is equally comfortable in communicating with senior leadership as they are diving into an incident post-mortem with an engineering team.
Key Responsibilities
Cloud Operations Leadership
  • Own end-to-end production cloud operations at scale, including availability, reliability, performance, and cost optimization across hybrid environments (Private cloud+AWS).
  • Define and enforce operational standards, SLAs/SLOs/SLIs, and incident management frameworks across distributed engineering teams.
  • Drive a culture of operational excellence through automation, observability, and continuous improvement (toil reduction, runbook maturity, chaos engineering).
  • Oversee capacity planning, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategies for mission-critical customer workloads.
  • Lead and mentor a team of engineering managers, SREs, and cloud operations engineers across multiple time zones.
Service Delivery & Customer Engagement
  • Serve as the senior-most technical point of contact for strategic enterprise customers, owning the overall service delivery relationship and health of customer environments.
  • Build and maintain deep, trust-based relationships with customer CXOs (CTO, CIO, VP Engineering) and their leadership teams, translating complex operational realities into clear executive narratives.
  • Engage directly with the customer's customers — understanding downstream impact, SLA obligations, and the business outcomes that matter most at every layer of the value chain.
  • Lead executive briefings, and escalation calls with poise, data-driven storytelling, and a solutions-first mindset.
  • Proactively identify risks to service delivery and drive remediation plans before they become customer-impacting issues.
  • Act as the internal voice of the customer, advocating for operational investments that improve reliability and customer experience.
  • Drive standardization of onboarding, runbooks, and escalation playbooks to enable repeatable, high-quality delivery at scale.
Required Qualifications
  • 15+ years of experience in engineering, cloud infrastructure, or IT operations, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role managing large-scale production cloud environments.
  • Proven track record of running production cloud operations at scale 99.99%+ availability SLAs, and global footprints.
  • Demonstrated experience managing and presenting to C-suite stakeholders (CTO, CIO, CEO) large enterprise customer organizations.
  • Deep expertise in AWS cloud platform with working knowledge of multi-cloud /hybrid architectures.
  • Strong command of ITSM and service delivery frameworks (ITIL, SRE principles, DevOps practices).
  • Exceptional executive communication skills — written, verbal, and presentation — with the ability to distill technical complexity into business impact narratives.
  • Experience navigating multi-tier customer relationships, including engaging with a customer's end clients or downstream partners.
