[Remote] Portfolio Delivery Leader - Technology, Media and Telco (TMT)
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. The Portfolio Delivery Leader (PDL) is responsible for owning the health and performance of a defined book of business, ensuring customer engagements are successful while managing financials and resource strategy.
Responsibilities
- Portfolio Health End-to-End: you are the named owner of red/yellow/green status across all engagements in your book; you catch signals before they become escalations
- Drive pre-sales & delivery alignment: you own level 3 signoffs on opportunities before contract execution; you validate that resource strategy, staffing mix, and deal risk are viable before they enter your portfolio
- Own the Services Delivery Strategy: you own the content in Services Delivery Strategy (SDS) reviews; you arrive prepared to speak to every red and yellow account in your portfolio
- Protect margin at the deal level: you manage contingency deliberately, monitor fixed-fee burn rates, track delivered vs. bid margin, and escalate before overruns compound
- Be the executive face of delivery: you engage C-suite stakeholders (CIO, CFO, CTO) on a regular cadence, ensuring customers feel supported, informed, and confident in Salesforce's delivery motion
- Lead cross-functional recovery when things go wrong: you are the first escalation point of contact for delivery issues; you own the path to resolution and ensure High Watch engagements are actively governed, not passively tracked
- Drive resource strategy across your book: you own fulfillment of the scoped staffing mix within your portfolio and partner with the Delivery Engagement Lead on prioritization when demand exceeds supply
- Surface expansion signals from within accounts: you identify white space, flag renewal risk, and feed delivery-originated pipeline back into the sales motion
