About the job

The Platform Delivery Enablement Lead is a technical hybrid program leader who strengthens how Platform Delivery works across Infrastructure Engineering, Security, Enterprise Systems, Corporate IT, Tech Table, Product Engineering, and key vendors. Rather than owning a single project plan, this role designs and improves the operating mechanisms that turn strategy into coordinated execution: intake, prioritization, dependency management, decision forums, readiness reviews, communications, and escalation paths. The role will be central to enabling OpenTable’s AWS migration transformation and helping Platform Delivery adopt AI-assisted ways of working that increase visibility, reduce operational toil, and accelerate high-quality decisions. Success means smoother handoffs, clearer commitments, faster resolution of cross-team blockers, and a scalable delivery model that does not depend on heroic individual coordination. This posting is for an existing vacancy.

Responsibilities

Build and continuously improve the Platform Delivery operating system, including planning rhythms, executive reviews, intake and prioritization, dependency tracking, risk escalation, readiness criteria, and decision records across Infrastructure Engineering, Security, Enterprise Systems, Corporate IT, and Tech Table.
Serve as the connective tissue across Platform Delivery and partner organizations, making handoffs explicit; clarify owners, commitments, capacity assumptions, sequencing, and acceptance criteria for work moving between platform teams, Product Engineering, business stakeholders, and vendors.
Enable the AWS migration transformation by establishing integrated delivery plans, migration readiness and sequencing mechanisms, cross-team capacity commitments, architecture and cost decision workflows, and change-management communications for a multi-year, large-scale migration.
Translate platform strategy, OKRs, security priorities, financial trade-offs, and transformation goals into actionable portfolios, decision points, communications, and leadership updates that help teams move with appropriate speed and governance.
Establish practical AI-assisted delivery workflows—such as automated status synthesis, risk and dependency detection, action follow-up, and communications drafting—while keeping human leaders accountable for judgment, approvals, and material decisions.
Identify recurring friction in Platform Delivery interactions, use data and stakeholder feedback to diagnose root causes, and implement playbooks, mechanisms, and continuous-improvement changes that improve predictability without adding unnecessary process.

Minimum Qualifications

8+ years of experience leading complex technical programs, portfolio operations, delivery enablement, technical operations, or a comparable cross-functional role in a technology organization.
Experience coordinating work across infrastructure, cloud, security, enterprise systems, developer platforms, or other foundational technology teams, including complex dependencies and shared capacity.
Demonstrated experience creating or improving operating mechanisms such as intake, prioritization, planning cadences, dependency and risk management, readiness reviews, executive reporting, and escalation forums.
Experience leading transformation enablement for a major technology change, such as cloud migration, platform modernization, security transformation, or an enterprise operating-model change.
