Meet Our Team:

At Pega, our Global Client Success organization is at the heart of everything we do. We are a team of passionate, driven delivery professionals who partner with our clients to turn ambitious digital transformation goals into measurable business outcomes. We operate at the intersection of technology, strategy, and human ingenuity — helping the world's leading organizations work smarter, move faster, and deliver more.

Picture Yourself at Pega:

Imagine leading high-impact projects for some of the most innovative organizations in the region — guiding them through complex cloud transformations, modernizing legacy systems, and deploying Pega's AI-powered platform to streamline their most critical workflows. As a Project Delivery Leader, you'll be the trusted partner your clients turn to, the strategic voice that aligns business goals with technology execution, and the leader who elevates every team member around you. Your work will be visible, meaningful, and built to last.

What You'll Do at Pega:

  • Lead end-to-end delivery of Pega implementation projects — from initiation and planning through execution, go-live, and post-launch support.
  • Own the client relationship during the project lifecycle, acting as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor.
  • Manage project scope, budget, schedule, and change control processes with precision and transparency.
  • Oversee and guide cloud migration engagements, including the assessment, planning, and execution of migrations from legacy on-premises systems to Pega Cloud® or client-managed cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
  • Conduct or coordinate Pega Cloud Readiness Assessments to evaluate application health, identify technical debt, and define remediation roadmaps.
  • Drive the adoption of Pega's delivery methodology and best practices across project teams and client stakeholders.
  • Monitor project health, proactively identify risks and issues, and implement mitigation strategies before they impact delivery.
  • Provide regular, clear status updates to executive sponsors and stakeholders.

Who You Are:

  • A proactive, results-oriented delivery leader with a proven record of bringing complex enterprise software projects to successful completion
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and complexity — you turn challenges into structured plans and drive teams toward clear outcomes
  • A confident, empathetic communicator who builds trust quickly with both technical teams and business executives
  • A strategic thinker who connects the dots between technology capabilities and real business value
  • Deeply collaborative — you know that great delivery is a team sport and you lead by example

AI-First Mindset (essential)
You don't just know about AI — you actively use it. You reason with AI tools, critically validate their outputs, and apply sound judgment before acting on results. You think in real time through artifacts: blueprints, problem walkthroughs, and structured frameworks. You approach AI with responsibility and intentionality, understanding both its power and its limits.

Growth Mindset (essential)
You are wired for continuous learning. You adapt quickly, invite feedback, and treat iteration as a strength rather than a setback. You favor action over perfection and demonstrate consistent patterns of growth across your career — not just isolated wins. You raise the bar for everyone around you by staying curious, open, and forward-looking.

What You've Accomplished:

  • Experience in project or program management, ideally within enterprise software or technology consulting
  • Demonstrated success leading cloud transformation or cloud migration programs, including migration of legacy on-premises systems (Pega 6.x / 7.x or equivalent) to modern SaaS or cloud-managed environments
  • Hands-on experience managing the full cloud migration lifecycle: assessment and planning, environment provisioning, application remediation, data migration, validation, cutover, and post-migration stabilization
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure concepts and platforms (AWS preferred; Azure and Google Cloud a plus), including connectivity models such as AWS PrivateLink and VPN
  • Evidence of an AI-First approach in practice — experience using AI tools in delivery contexts, whether for planning, risk identification, documentation, or client communication; able to walk through real examples of how you've reasoned with and validated AI outputs
  • A track record that reflects Growth Mindset behaviors: visible learning agility, examples of adapting under pressure, peer or stakeholder feedback that speaks to openness and iteration, and a career path that shows consistent upward development
  • Proven track record managing multi-stakeholder, multi-stream projects using both Agile and Waterfall methodologies
  • PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent project management certification is a strong plus
  • Experience with Pega technology (Pega Platform, Pega Cloud®, or Pega GenAI solutions) is highly desirable
  • Willingness to travel as project needs require

Pega Offers You:

  • A highly collaborative and supportive global team culture, where your contributions are recognized and rewarded
  • Clear pathways for career growth — from delivery leadership into principal, architect, or practice leadership roles
  • Hands-on exposure to Pega's cutting-edge GenAI-powered platform and cloud-native innovations
  • The opportunity to lead transformative projects that make a tangible impact for your clients and for Pega
  • Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package
