## Direct-match strengths

AI/data transformation delivery, executive client communication, multidisciplinary teams, operating models, delivery frameworks, and production outcomes.

## Hard or material gaps

Hard functional and scale conflicts: strategic-account expansion, identifying new opportunities, proposals, consulting economics, programme profitability, and commercial growth are central mandates, conflicting with Keith's no-GTM preference. The role also expects prior leadership of a significant consulting delivery organization and senior consulting leaders at a scale beyond his documented scope.

## Evidence map

1. Lead complex AI and data transformation delivery (weight 3, evidence 3/3) — Direct enterprise AI, data, and platform transformation.
2. Executive client relationships (weight 3, evidence 3/3) — Advised 200+ enterprise customers and senior leaders.
3. Scale a significant consulting delivery organization (weight 3, evidence 1/3) — Built teams and a smaller AI/ML practice; requested consulting scale is not documented.
4. Grow strategic accounts and identify opportunities (weight 3, evidence 1/3) — Some client advisory exists; account-growth ownership conflicts with preferences.
5. Proposals, consulting economics, and programme profitability (weight 3, evidence 0/3) — Unsupported as central accountable functions.
6. Develop senior consulting and delivery leaders (weight 2, evidence 2/3) — Direct manager development exists; significant consulting-leader scale is narrower.

## Keyword diagnostic

Strong AI delivery adjacency, independently disqualified by commercial account-growth/GTM ownership and consulting-organization scale.

## Full normalized job description

Eagle is currently partnering with a private equity-backed AI consulting business that is helping some of the world's largest organisations move AI from experimentation into production.
The company combines strategic advisory, AI engineering and proprietary technology to solve complex business problems at enterprise scale. Working across data, AI, cloud and modern software engineering, it partners with clients to build AI-native capabilities that deliver measurable commercial outcomes rather than proof-of-concepts.
Having built a strong reputation with enterprise customers, the business is now entering an exciting new phase of growth across North America and is looking to appoint a Chief Delivery Officer to lead and scale its delivery organisation.
This is a senior executive role with responsibility for how the business delivers complex AI and technology programmes across its enterprise customer base. You'll lead the consulting and delivery organisation, build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders and ensure the business has the people, capabilities and operating model required to scale.
Importantly, this isn't a purely operational delivery role. You'll have a strong commercial mandate, working closely with clients to identify new opportunities, expand strategic accounts and turn successful delivery into long-term growth.
The role will involve:
Leading the delivery organisation across complex AI, data and technology transformation programmes.
Building trusted relationships with CIOs, CTOs, CDOs and other senior enterprise stakeholders.
Taking executive ownership of major client engagements, ensuring quality, commercial performance and successful outcomes.
Growing strategic accounts by identifying opportunities to expand existing relationships and introduce new capabilities.
Building and developing high-performing consulting, engineering and delivery teams.
Establishing the delivery frameworks, processes and operating model required to support continued growth.
Working closely with commercial leadership on new opportunities, proposals and major client engagements.
Helping shape AI-enabled services and solutions based on evolving client requirements.
Playing a key role within the executive leadership team as the North American business continues to scale.
We're looking to speak with leaders who have:
Senior delivery leadership experience within AI, data, technology or digital consulting.
A track record of leading and scaling significant consulting or delivery organisations.
Experience delivering complex, multi-disciplinary transformation programmes for large enterprise clients.
Strong evidence of growing strategic accounts through successful delivery and senior client relationships.
Executive-level credibility with both business and technology leaders.
Strong commercial acumen, including consulting economics, account growth and programme profitability.
Experience building and developing senior consulting, engineering and delivery leaders.
The ability to combine executive-level gravitas with a willingness to remain close to clients, teams and delivery.
