Summary Generated by Built In
Zencore was founded in 2021 by former Google Cloud leaders and engineers. We exist for one purpose: to reduce risk and ensure client success on Google Cloud. We are a Premier Google Cloud partner and a four-time Google Cloud Partner of the Year. Boutique model, global reach. Our teams are senior, our engagements move fast, and clients trust us with mission-critical cloud, data, and AI work.

The Role

    The EMEA Program Director will own delivery outcomes across a portfolio of Google Cloud engagements. You will personally run one or two strategic programs.

  • Deep experience delivering cloud, data, and AI engagements. You have led migrations, data platform builds, and AI programs, and you can hold your own with architects and client CTOs.

  • Proven ownership of portfolio performance: margin, forecasting accuracy, utilization, and client health across concurrent engagements.

  • People management experience, including hiring and developing client-facing delivery leaders.

  • Pre-sales credibility: shaping solutions, presenting delivery approach, writing SOWs and change orders.

  • Executive presence with both client sponsors and engineers. You make the complex simple.

Responsibilities

  • Own delivery, governance, and successful execution across a portfolio of cloud, data, infrastructure, application development, and AI engagements.

  • Serve as executive delivery sponsor for key accounts. Build trusted relationships with client executives and act as the escalation point above the day-to-day team.

  • Work side by side with Google Cloud account teams and partner engineering to align on joint delivery and expansion.

  • Build, lead, and develop a high-performing delivery management team through hiring, coaching, performance management, and career development while maintaining Zencore's delivery standards.

  • Oversee global staffing, resource planning, and engagement leadership across the US, EMEA, and LATAM to ensure successful client delivery and business outcomes.

  • Own and continuously improve Zencore's delivery model, including methodology, governance, estimation, tooling, quality standards, and AI-enabled best practices.

  • Partner with executive leadership to develop scalable delivery processes, playbooks, and operating models that support business growth.
