Delivery Lead

At Small Giants, we’re on a mission to deliver high-quality work while making the experience seamless and meaningful for both clients and teams. As our Delivery Lead, you are the engine behind this mission.

You ensure we don’t just get things done — we get the right things done, in the right way. From capacity planning to cost vs. revenue ownership, you lay the operational foundation that allows teams to thrive and clients to succeed. You drive improvements, elevate delivery quality, and make sure our way of working is built for scale, sustainability, and impact.

This is a key role at the heart of our performance culture — where structure meets agility, and clarity meets action.

 

Who we are – Culture in action

We believe in clarity, accountability, and continuous improvement. Our teams thrive on collaboration, structured workflows, and delivering real value to our clients. We constantly challenge ourselves to find better ways of working while maintaining a high-performance culture — not for the sake of speed, but to make a lasting impact.

As a Delivery Lead, you play a pivotal role in building strong delivery foundations, fostering a results-driven team, and making sure our work meets the highest standards — every single time.

At the same time, you bring our core values to life:

Be True – You communicate with honesty, take ownership, and foster an open and supportive team dynamic.
Think Big – You challenge the status quo and drive innovation in how we deliver.
Go For It – You take action, make things happen, and help others move from idea to execution.

This role isn’t just about what you do — it’s about how you elevate the entire system around you.

 

What you will be doing

As Delivery Lead, you play a pivotal role in aligning people, processes, and performance. You combine strategic oversight with operational clarity to ensure we deliver great work – consistently, sustainably, and with impact.

You will be accountable for:

• Project management for key clients – Leading planning, execution and delivery to ensure high-quality, on-time outcomes that drive client value

• Client satisfaction and relationship management – Acting as a key point of contact, you ensure expectations are met – and where possible, exceeded – by building trust and delivering results

• Team performance and development – Leading the Leads Team by setting clear expectations, coaching for growth, and maintaining high-quality output across the board

• Capacity and billability management – Ensuring that the right people are working on the right things at the right time, balancing workload with strategic priorities

• Cost vs. revenue management – Keeping a sharp eye on financials to maintain sustainable project profitability and healthy business performance

• Structure and process improvement – Continuously identifying and implementing improvements that increase efficiency, reduce friction, and support scalable delivery

This role is both hands-on and high-level. You’ll lead by example, act on insights, and empower your team to do their best work – every day.

 

What we are looking for

You combine strategic clarity with hands-on delivery. You lead by example, think in systems, and bring others with you — with structure, empathy, and a strong sense of ownership.

You will thrive in this role if you:

• Have strong project management skills and a proven ability to deliver complex initiatives across multiple clients and priorities

• Are client-focused and build trust quickly, ensuring long-term partnerships and delivering real value — not just outputs

• Know how to balance quality and efficiency, guiding teams to deliver high-impact work on time and within budget

• Are data-driven and comfortable making informed decisions based on performance metrics, revenue insights and cost structures

• Have experience in leading and developing teams, using clarity and empathy to align people and raise performance

• Approach process challenges as opportunities — you’re a natural problem solver who acts, adapts and improves

You bring structure without rigidity, clarity without control, and momentum without chaos. And above all: you get things done that matter.

At Small Giants, we give you the space and trust to make a real difference. Here’s what you can expect from us:

• Autonomy and ownership – Your opportunity to shape how we deliver our work

• A role with real impact – Contributing directly to client satisfaction, team performance, and business growth

• Room to grow and develop – We’re always moving forward, and you grow with us

• A driven, purpose-led work environment – Collaborating with people who stand for something

You’ll also have the freedom to work in a way that fits you best. From our inspiring office in Utrecht (Papendorp) or hybrid, with flexible hours and a healthy work-life balance. You’ll get a personal development budget — because learning never stops — and compensation for travel and phone use. Practical support, so you can focus on what you do best.
