How you’ll demonstrate Ownership

Own end-to-end delivery outcomes for your GTM pod—from scope shaping and resourcing through go-live, adoption, and verified value—operating a single-threaded accountability model that reduces handoffs and accelerates time-to-value.
Drive Cognite-Grade execution using standard methods, accelerators, and guardrails; partner closely with Sales and Product to ensure one-company execution.
What Success Looks Like (12-Month Outcomes)
- Faster value: measurable reduction in Time-to-Value (TTV) across Quick Starts and scale projects; first KPI movement visible earlier and consistently.
- Predictable delivery: on-time, on-budget delivery as the norm with strong RAID hygiene and stage-gates.
- Verified outcomes: post–go-live KPI tracking and Verified Outcomes published at +90 days.
- Partner leverage: clear partner utilization to scale capacity without quality or margin erosion.
- Repeatability: high adoption of accelerators/deployment packs; configuration-first solutions aligned with Industry Innovation & Solutions (no duplicate build).

The Impact you bring to Cognite

Accountability & Leadership

Act as the single point of accountability for delivery across your GTM pod; own scope quality, resourcing, delivery quality, escalations, and value proof.
Lead a flattened pod leadership trio (PFM/PM, SA Lead, DE Lead, DS Lead) and designate coaches/team leads (≤20% billable) to scale standards.

Methodology & Governance

Enforce PMO standards: realistic plan baselines, RAID hygiene, change control, and SteerCo cadence.
Run VAP/quality gates to Cognite-Grade; ensure Sales–Services–Product handshakes (mutual close plans, product dependency tracking, QBRs/SteerCos).

Configuration-First Value Delivery

Lead with configuration-first solutions when product functionality is missing or delayed.
Reuse deployment packs/accelerators and coordinate with Industry Innovation for patterns, guardrails, and waivers (reuse → extend → net-new).

Partner Strategy & Scale

Determine partner vs. Cognite delivery mix; ensure partner enablement and parity while protecting margin and customer experience.

Customer Adoption & Expansion

Ensure adoption plans and KPI telemetry are in place at go-live; align with TAMs on post–go-live value cadence and expansion opportunities.

Decision Rights (Examples)

Approve scope/SOW readiness (method, risks, dependencies, capacity) and green-light project start after gate pass.
Allocate pod capacity and partner mix to meet bookings outlook and ARR priorities.
Escalate/resolve cross-functional blockers with Sales/Product via the agreed governance ladder.

Required Qualifications

Track record leading multi-disciplinary SaaS delivery (PM/SA/DE/DS) across complex portfolios with high CSAT and margin discipline.
Expert in project/portfolio governance, risk/change control, and executive communications (SteerCo/QBR).
Strong commercial and operational acumen (forecasting, utilization, partner economics, gross margin).
Comfortable operating in a delivery-led, one-company model with tight GTM and Product alignment.
