Technical Delivery Manager (Project & People Management)
We're partnering with Pathfindr AI to hire a number of roles due to unprecedented growth within the business, and we can't be more excited to take these roles to market!
Pathfindr is not just another AI consultancy. In just one year, we’ve gone from zero clients to being named one of the AFR Most Innovative Companies of 2024 - helping government, ASX-10, and mid-market organisations go from AI hype to real-world results.
We don’t just advise—we design, build, and deliver. Now we’re looking for a confident, client-facing leader to help scale that impact.

Lead Client Strategy. Guide Delivery. Make AI Real.
What You’ll Do
As a Technical AI Delivery Manager, you will oversee end-to-end AI project execution, technical delivery leadership, and team performance. You will be responsible for ensuring alignment between technology, clients, and business objectives .
* Oversee AI & Technology Execution – Drive the end-to-end delivery of AI and automation solutions, ensuring smooth execution across teams.
* Manage People & Processes – Lead onshore and offshore teams, ensuring seamless collaboration and structured execution.
* Own and Build AI & Cloud Environments – Architect and maintain internal AI tools, Azure platforms, and DevOps frameworks that enable secure, scalable, and automated delivery across projects.
* Ensure High-Impact Project Delivery – Manage multiple AI and technology projects, balancing short-term execution with long-term scalability .
* Drive Best Practices in Project Management – Standardise delivery processes, structure execution frameworks, and ensure seamless project flow .
* Support Pipeline & Pre-Sales Execution – Assist with Proof of Concept (POC) delivery, early execution models, and AI solution validation .
What We’re Looking For
We need a delivery all-rounder with a technical background who thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments .
* AI-Experience (Commercial or Hands-On) – You’ve actively explored AI tooling, whether professionally or personally. You might have built prototypes, experimented with LLMs, automated tasks with AI agents, or delivered AI features in production. Curiosity is essential - but so is a track record of doing, not just reading.
* Proven Project Delivery Expertise – Experience managing complex technology projects, ensuring structured, scalable execution.
* Proven DevOps / Platform Engineering Experience – You’ve built and led technology environments, not just worked alongside them. You’ve designed, implemented, and managed infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, deployment processes, and cloud environments (Azure preferred). This is hands-on experience, not adjacent exposure.
* Strong People Leadership – Experience leading onshore and offshore teams, fostering high-performance execution .
* Stakeholder Management Skills – Comfortable engaging with CIOs, technical leads, and cross-functional teams .
* Execution-Driven Mindset – Highly structured, solutions-focused, and able to manage multiple projects at speed .
* Problem-Solving Leader – Thrives in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, with a hands-on approach to delivery.
* Start-Up Adaptability – Resourceful, thrives in ambiguity, and comfortable wearing multiple hats as needed .
(This is an ideal role for a technical delivery leader who can take ownership of execution in an AI-driven company— not just track projects .)
Why Join Pathfindr?
This is not a role for someone who’s managed projects around tech. We need a technical delivery leader who has built the platforms, run the infrastructure, and led from within the tech itself — not just tracked it.
At Pathfindr, we:
Move fast and work with cutting-edge AI technology.
Give you ownership over high-impact AI and automation projects.
Ensure you work with top-tier clients across government, enterprise, and startups.
Offer a hybrid work environment with access to Melbourne’s Stone & Chalk .
If you're looking for a role where you can lead delivery, scale execution, and build world-class AI-driven solutions, we’d love to hear from you.
Let’s build something big.
