Moative is scaling fast. We build AI products and data-driven solutions for enterprises that expect precision and speed. We’re looking for a Delivery Leader who can run the shop while the founders focus on vision and technology. You’ll own delivery from day one – codifying world-class processes, coaching project managers, and ensuring that every engagement hits its mark. You will also lead our presales motion, crafting proposals that win business, by co-ordinating with the founders and tech leaders for solutions and commercials.

What You Will Do

Lead High-Impact Delivery

• Direct a portfolio of AI programs and products; ensure every outcome is on time, on budget, and of exceptional quality.

Build the Delivery Playbook

• Design and enforce predictable processes and artefacts; implement metrics and KPIs that everyone follows.

Coach the Team

• Mentor and upskill project managers; create a culture of ownership and continuous improvement so the founders never need to step into delivery or account management.

Operate at Maximum Velocity

• Thrive in a dynamic environment where priorities shift; adapt quickly without sacrificing quality.

Drive Stakeholder Alignment

• Serve as the single point of contact for clients and internal teams; report status, manage expectations, and maintain trust.

Stay Hands-On

• Lead scrums and planning sessions; oversee requirements definition, testing, evaluations, and deployments; remove roadblocks.

Champion AI-Driven Solutions

• Stay current with AI/NLP advances; map customer problems to the right technologies.

Lead Presales & Proposals

• Own the proposal process end-to-end (excluding deep architecture and pricing); analyse client needs, shape solution visions, and craft compelling documents.

Commercialise the Vision

• Work with cross-functional teams to build roadmaps, assess readiness, conduct market research, and define product requirements.

Scale Program Success

• Structure and scale delivery efforts to maximise impact and efficiency; write best practices for delivering AI programmes at scale.

Who You Are

Problem-Solver at Speed

• You thrive in ambiguity and complexity and can quickly find a path forward.

Enterprise-Scale Leader

• You have 10+ years of experience delivering large technology programmes (often $10M+ budgets) for demanding clients. You know how to plan, control, and de-risk multi-workstream engagements.

Master of Adaptation

• You stay calm under pressure and pivot when needed to maintain momentum.

Compelling Communicator

• You can move between deep technical discussions and board-level briefings; you convey complex ideas crisply and are comfortable interacting with C-level executives.

Delivery-First Operator

• You value precision and predictability; you understand the solution development lifecycle and are vigilant about risk and dependencies.

AI-Curious & Business-Minded

• You grasp AI/ML concepts, especially NLP and transformer-based architectures, and understand how they translate to business value.

Data Literacy and Analytics Understanding

• You understand how data and AI can be shaped to assist and drive decision-making, and how such products or solutions need to be built.

Presales Partner

• You have experience in business development and proposal management; you are comfortable crafting go-to-market strategies and building business cases.

Mentor & Builder

• You enjoy growing teams, onboarding talent, and instilling a culture of excellence.

By taking on this role, you free the founders from day-to-day delivery and account management. You’ll build the systems and teams that make Moative’s delivery world-class and predictable.

Working at Moative

Moative is a young company, but we believe strongly in thinking long-term, while acting with urgency. Our ethos is rooted in innovation, efficiency and high-quality outcomes. We believe the future of work is AI-augmented and boundaryless.

Here are some of our guiding principles:

• Think in decades. Act in hours. As an independent company, our moat is time. While our decisions are for the long-term horizon, our execution will be fast – measured in hours and days, not weeks and months.
• Own the canvas. Throw yourself in to build, fix or improve – anything that isn’t done right, irrespective of who did it. Be selfish about improving across the organization – because once the rot sets in, we waste years in surgery and recovery.
• Use data or don’t use data. Use data where you ought to but not as a ‘cover-my-back’ political tool. Be capable of making decisions with partial or limited data. Get better at intuition and pattern-matching. Whichever way you go, be mostly right about it.
• Avoid work about work. Process creeps on purpose, unless we constantly question it. We are deliberate about committing to rituals that take time away from the actual work. We truly believe that a meeting that could be an email, should be an email and you don’t need a person with the highest title to say that loud.
• High revenue per person. We work backwards from this metric. Our default is to automate instead of hiring. We multi-skill our people to own more outcomes than hiring someone who has less to do. We don’t like squatting and hoarding that comes in the form of hiring for growth. High revenue per person comes from high quality work from everyone. We demand it.

If this role and our work is of interest to you, please apply here. We encourage you to apply even if you believe you do not meet all the requirements listed above.

That said, you should demonstrate that you are in the 90th percentile or above. This may mean that you have studied in top-notch institutions, won awards/accolades for your work, or rated as an outstanding performer by your current or previous employers.

The position is based out of Chennai. Our work currently involves significant in-person collaboration and we expect you to work out of our offices in Chennai.
