ConvergeHEALTH - Commercial Life Sciences, Delivery Manager - Managed Platform as a Services (MPaaS) - Innovation_Delivery_Transformation

The Innovation & Delivery Transformation team is building the future of our business. This is the group responsible for identifying, nurturing, scaling, and ultimately winning in new markets with new capabilities. We don't rely on what the firm has always done - we look to the future and invest where we know the growth will be 3, 5, 10 years down the road. The Innovation & Delivery Transformation Team collaborates with Industries, Offering Portfolios, Growth, and Delivery Transformation to curate and scale our Innovation Portfolio, grow through our Strategic Growth Offerings, identify and incubate the next generation of technology through our Technology Offices, and more. Together we are dedicated to fostering a top talent experience both within I&DT and throughout our firm by leading our Tech Talent Transformation.

Within IDT, our Life Sciences Cloud (LSC) practice is launching a Managed Platform as a Service (MPaaS) offering - a comprehensive solution that bundles our proprietary QuickStarts platform with ongoing managed services to deploy, run, maintain, and continuously evolve client CRM environments.

Unlike traditional project-based consulting, this offering is product- and operations-led: IDT owns the platform baseline, the delivery model, and the long-term client relationship. The Delivery Manager sits at the center of that mandate, managing a portfolio of biopharma client engagements, leading a team of direct reports, and serving as the primary authority for client governance, delivery oversight, and the ongoing evolution of client instances built on the QuickStarts baseline.
