Nelly Works is partnering with a leading global cloud consultancy on a search for their next EMEA Programme Director.
Our client is a specialist Google Cloud consultancy built by people who came up through Google Cloud itself. They run senior, fast-moving teams on mission-critical cloud, data, and AI work — and they're looking for a delivery leader who'll take personal ownership of a portfolio of engagements, not just oversee it from a distance.
Non-negotiable: hands-on experience in the Google Cloud ecosystem and a strong record of delivering enterprise-level Google Cloud projects.
The role:
- Take end-to-end ownership of a portfolio of cloud, data, and AI engagements — delivery, governance, outcomes
- Run one or two flagship programs yourself, hands-on
- Keep the numbers healthy: margin, forecasting, utilization, risk and change control
- Act as the executive contact for key clients, stepping in above the day-to-day delivery team when needed
- Build close working relationships with Google Cloud's own account and engineering teams
- Hire, coach, and grow a team of delivery/engagement leaders
- Plan staffing and resourcing across multiple regions (US, EMEA, LATAM)
- Keep evolving how the business delivers — methodology, tooling, estimation, quality
About you:
- A demonstrable track record delivering enterprise-level Google Cloud engagements
- 10+ years running complex technology programs, including 5+ in professional services or systems integration
- Experience owning P&L-style metrics across a portfolio — margin, utilization, forecasting, client health
- A people leader who's hired and grown client-facing delivery managers
- Equally credible with a CTO and with an architect — you can flex the message either way
- Experience running distributed teams across multiple geographies
- Google Cloud certification (e.g. Professional Cloud Architect) is a plus, as is time spent at Google or a Google Cloud partner
This is a permanent, full-time position. Please note: sponsorship and relocation support are not available.
Interested? We'd like to hear from you.
