Delivery Lead - AI-Enabled Products

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Delivery Lead - AI-Enabled Products based in South Africa.

This is a hands-on delivery leadership role focused on taking client-facing products and AI-enabled services from concept through reliable day-to-day operation.
You will own major initiatives end to end, turning ambiguous briefs into structured plans and driving execution across Product, Engineering, Design, Support, and clients.
A key focus will be ensuring AI-enabled workflows perform reliably in production, with appropriate monitoring, quality checks, and human review processes.
You will investigate issues independently, make informed delivery decisions, manage risks and dependencies, and escalate well-defined problems when engineering support is required.

You will also guide junior team members and create playbooks, automation, and processes that make future delivery cycles more efficient.
This opportunity is ideal for an experienced delivery professional who thrives in fast-moving environments, exercises sound judgment, and takes ownership beyond simply coordinating tasks.
