About Entrega

Entrega is a Michigan-headquartered technology professional services firm delivering enterprise solutions to global clients. We design, develop, and operationalize technology-enabled solutions through a high-performance services model built to elevate client experience and deliver measurable business value.

Our work spans technology, digital, and business solutions delivery. We operate using a structured service delivery model designed to balance client relationships, delivery accountability, project execution, and production capacity management. Strong leadership across these areas is essential to delivering consistently high outcomes for our clients.

Position Summary

Entrega is seeking a Manager of Project Delivery to lead, develop, and manage the Project Delivery team across multiple client engagements.

This role sits within the Project Delivery function and is responsible for people leadership, capability development, and delivery execution consistency across Project Delivery resources. The Manager ensures that delivery staff are operating effectively within the delivery model, producing high-quality outputs, and progressing in their development.

This is not a client relationship ownership role. This role does not replace delivery accountability held by engagement leadership. Instead, this role is responsible for ensuring the strength, consistency, and performance of the Project Delivery capability across the organization.

This role may also contribute directly to client delivery in targeted scenarios to support complex engagements, reinforce delivery standards, and maintain proximity to execution.

  • Resource Effectiveness & Deployment Support
    • Partner with Resource Operations and Planning to support effective staffing decisions
    • Ensure team members are appropriately aligned to roles based on capability and experience
    • Provide input on resource readiness, performance, and suitability for assignments
    • Monitor team utilization and engagement alignment at a high level
    • Support resolution of resource-related delivery challenges
  • Delivery Oversight & Issue Escalation
    • Maintain visibility into delivery execution across engagements
    • Identify performance risks, execution gaps, or team-related challenges
    • Support resolution of delivery issues related to execution quality or team performance
    • Escalate systemic issues impacting delivery effectiveness
    • Ensure consistent follow-through on identified risks and actions
  • Selective Delivery Contribution
    • Contribute directly to delivery execution on select engagements where additional leadership or experience is required
    • Support complex workstreams, escalations, or critical delivery milestones as needed
    • Provide hands-on guidance and execution support in high-impact delivery situations
    • Reinforce delivery standards and model behaviors through direct engagement in client work
    • Balance billable contribution with primary responsibility for team leadership and capability development
  • Cross-Functional Alignment
    • Partner with delivery leadership (including Service Delivery Manager) to ensure alignment between delivery expectations and team performance
    • Collaborate with Project Management, Planning, and Operations functions to ensure coordinated execution
    • Ensure Project Delivery roles are clearly understood and properly utilized across engagements
    • Reinforce alignment between delivery execution and broader organizational goals
Qualifications

The following qualifications reflect the experience, capabilities, and attributes typically required to perform successfully in this role.

  • 6–10 years of experience in professional services, consulting, or project-based delivery environments
  • Proven experience managing and developing delivery teams
  • Strong understanding of structured delivery models and execution frameworks

  • Effective alignment between staffing, capability, and delivery needs
  • High ownership of team performance and delivery quality
  • Ability to influence across delivery leadership without owning the client relationship
