About us:

In short, we're expanding our platform from optimizing plant processes to driving whole-enterprise outcomes. Imubit helps industrial leaders not only control their operations in real time, but also execute their broader optimization strategies, bridging the gap between the plant floor and the boardroom. Our mission is bold: to help the world's largest industrial companies solve their hardest problems, maximize long-term profitability, and future-proof their operations in an era of rapid change. If you're excited by the chance to shape the future of industrial AI, you'll be in very good company here.

Characteristics We Value:

Beyond your resume, we care about who you are as a leader. The ideal candidate will embody these traits:

• Strategic & Analytical: You can zoom out to see the big picture and chart a clear course, but also dive into the data and details to inform decisions. You connect dots quickly and craft strategy from complexity.
• Driven & Results-Oriented: You set ambitious goals for yourself and your team, and you pursue excellence with urgency. Hitting targets is not optional – it's what energizes you. You hold yourself accountable and have a competitive spirit to win, ethically and decisively.
• Collaborative Leader: You believe in the power of the team. You communicate openly and work well cross-functionally, whether brainstorming new ideas with R&D to solve a customer's problem or working with sales to orchestrate accounts for success. You give credit, share success, and build an environment of trust.
• High Integrity: Honesty and ethics are non-negotiable. You do right by the customer and your colleagues. You foster a culture of transparency and you expect the same from your team. High-integrity leadership is especially important to us.
• Innovative & Curious: You have a growth mindset. You love to learn, whether it's diving into a new go-to-market strategy or a new tool for better efficiency. Rather than defaulting to "what's always worked," you ask, "How can we do this better?" and you encourage experimentation.
• Bias for Action & Ownership: When you see an opportunity or a problem, you act. You're not one to wait for permission or perfect conditions – you move quickly and adjust on the fly. You take initiative and own outcomes, a quality we deeply value in our culture (We back this up: our leadership commits to clearing roadblocks and giving you the autonomy to make decisions and run).
• Mentorship & People Development: You take pride in elevating others. Whether it's a junior implementation engineer, a Portfolio Manager or, even, others outside of the Delivery Organization.

In this role, you will:

• Regional Leadership & Mentorship: Serve as the most senior Delivery Team leader in Europe, providing hands-on coaching and mentorship to Delivery Team members and leaders. Act as the primary regional escalation point, ensuring alignment, accountability, and operational excellence across all delivery functions.
  
  
• Team Management & Delivery Excellence: Directly manage multiple delivery account teams composed of Solution Managers, Implementation Engineers, and Systems Integration Engineers. Ensure these teams deliver exceptional project outcomes while building trusted, strategic partnerships with customers grounded in enthusiasm, reliability, and measurable impact.
  
  
• Coaching & Talent Development: Coach and develop junior Portfolio Managers overseeing other accounts and implementations, fostering a culture of high performance and strong customer advocacy.
  
  
• Operational Improvement & Effectiveness: In partnership with the Delivery Excellence and Enablement (DE&E) team, proactively identify gaps in delivery effectiveness and develop both short- and long-term strategies to address them.
  
  
• Scaling Global Delivery: Collaborate with the VP of Global Delivery and DE&E to create scalable delivery frameworks and delivery partnerships that maximize customer value and operational efficiency across the global organization.
  
  
• Customer Success & Retention: Oversee the creation and execution of operational account plans that drive renewals, prevent churn, and identify expansion opportunities in partnership with Sales.
  
  
• Strategic Initiatives & Alignment: Lead and participate in key initiatives that advance Imubit's strategic objectives, including:
  • Aligning operational account plans with strategic account goals.
  • Driving Digital Transformation through Coordinated Operating Strategies.
  • Delivering value early and continuously through GenAI innovations.
  • Promoting platform adoption by evolving toward a Product Leadership Value Discipline.
• Business Outcome Valuation: Partner with the VP of Global Delivery, Head of BCE, Sales, and Economic Engineering to evolve Imubit's approach to economic valuation—transitioning toward business outcome–based metrics and insights.
  
  
• Product-Led Operations: Collaborate with Global Delivery, Product, and R&D teams to strengthen Imubit's Product-Led operating model, enabling customer self-modeling and driving deeper platform adoption.
  
  
• Cross-Functional Collaboration & Partnerships: Work cross-functionally to support and advance Delivery Team contributions to strategic partnerships and ecosystem enablement initiatives within Europe.
  
  
• Strategic Workforce Planning: Partner with Portfolio Leads, the VP of Global Delivery, DE&E, CRO, and CFO to develop forward-looking staffing plans that balance customer value creation, capability development, cost efficiency, and global growth objectives.
  
  
• Value Stream Optimization: Collaborate with Portfolio Leads, the VP of Global Delivery, and Sales to enhance portfolio alignment with value streams, ensuring delivery teams contribute effectively to customer and company success.
  
  
• Global Expansion Support: Assist and directly support Imubit's expansion efforts into the Middle East, Africa (MEA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) regions, contributing to regional strategy and execution planning.
