  • 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.
