Description
ABOUT TRIBE AI
At Tribe, we’re on a mission to help enterprises realize the value of AI for their business. Every large enterprise wants to use AI to transform how they operate — but many don’t have the capabilities to do it. That gap is our opportunity.
We’re an AI-native services company that helps enterprises build and deploy best-in-class AI products that deliver real business impact. We partner closely with OpenAI and Anthropic, giving us rare visibility into the most advanced models, roadmaps, and GTM strategies in the world.
ROLE OVERVIEW
A Delivery Lead at Tribe is the operational backbone of an enterprise AI engagement. You own delivery execution end to end — ensuring we have a clear plan, milestones are tracked, risks surface before they become problems, and all internal functions stay aligned. You are the single escalation point for client stakeholders on everything related to delivery.
This role comes in two modes. As a Project Delivery Lead, you own a single workstream or SOW — running governance, managing timelines and budget, and keeping the engagement healthy day to day. As a Program Delivery Lead, you expand to orchestrate multiple concurrent projects, define governance structures across workstreams, manage cross-cutting dependencies, and ensure the overall program is coherent and compounding in value. Many Delivery Leads will grow from project to program scope over time.
An important distinction: Delivery Leads own milestone-level tracking and program health — not granular task management. Product Managers and Technical Leads own the tasks and feature work that roll up into milestones. Your job is to maintain visibility on whether milestones are Green, Yellow, or Red, surface risks when they're not, and make sure the right people are aligned to unblock them.
You work closely with GMs, Product Managers, Solution Architects, and Technical Leads. With the GM in particular, your partnership is critical: the GM owns the commercial relationship; you own delivery excellence. Together, you ensure that what Tribe builds actually lands — on time, on budget, and with the client ready to adopt it.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Project & Delivery Management
- Develop and manage high-level project plans, timelines, and budgets — maintaining clear visibility on schedule, cost, and scope without micromanaging task-level execution
- Track milestone health (sprint goals, demo targets, major delivery blocks) and report status (R/Y/G) in internal weekly syncs — escalating Reds and Yellows as risks requiring immediate attention
- Track progress, risks, issues, and dependencies across the engagement — maintaining a living view of what could derail delivery and what is being done about it
- Participate in all governance ceremonies: internal and client kick-offs, stand-ups, retrospectives, and steering committee check-ins
- Ensure deliverables meet quality standards and client expectations before they go out the door
Client Relationship & Communication
- Serve as the primary client contact for delivery: day-to-day project management, status transparency, and escalation handling
- Provide clear, honest reporting to internal and external stakeholders — leading with what matters, not just what happened
- Build trust with client stakeholders through consistency, follow-through, and the ability to have difficult conversations when delivery is at risk
Scope Management
- Track delivery scope and surface changes early — coordinating with the GM (commercial implications), PM (value and prioritization), and Technical Lead (feasibility) whenever scope shifts
- Own change control from a delivery perspective, ensuring that scope decisions are documented, understood, and agreed across all parties before execution changes
Change Management & Rollout
- Coordinate change management activities where applicable: user guides, training plans, communications, and rollout sequencing
- Ensure smoot
