Technical Delivery Lead (North America)

About the Position

Technical Delivery Lead (North America)

Lateral stands for technology excellence. We’re a profitable, award-winning design and technology company with over 20 years of experience launching bold ventures and transforming businesses. A globally distributed team of 200+ experts united by a shared purpose: the continuous pursuit of quality.

Our clients come to us for results, quality, and craft - and stay because we keep raising the bar.

Responsibilities

As a Technical Delivery Lead at Lateral, you’ll be the connective tissue between our clients’ business goals and the technology we build to achieve them. You won’t be the most technical person in the room but you’ll understand technology well enough to guide the conversation, translate between business and engineering, and ensure that what we deliver genuinely moves the needle.

You will:

• Partner with client stakeholders to understand their business objectives, metrics, and value drivers.
• Translate those into actionable project scopes, delivery plans, and clear technical requirements.
• Work closely with engineers, architects, and designers to align on approach, priorities, and constraints, turning business outcomes into deliverable features.
• Serve as the main technical point of contact for the client: set expectations, surface risks early, and ensure communication is transparent, structured, and human.
• Track delivery not just by milestones and dates, but by business impact, measuring whether the solution achieves its intended outcomes.
• Identify opportunities for improvement or expansion by helping clients see where technology can generate additional value.
• Champion clarity and accountability across distributed teams. Facilitate conversations that keep everyone focused on what matters most.

Requirements

We’re looking for thoughtful operators with both business sense and technical fluency. You must bring:

• 7+ years experience working in client-facing delivery roles (e.g., Technical PM, Delivery Lead, Product Owner, or similar) where you’ve been responsible for both understanding business needs and guiding technical execution.
• The ability to speak both languages - you can talk tech: APIs, integrations, architecture, and delivery trade-offs with engineers, but also product/business
• Proven experience translating business objectives into software deliverables - you’ve turned ambiguity into clear scopes, requirements, and measurable outcomes.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills: you help teams make good decisions quickly.
• A background in software delivery environments, where projects are complex, multi-disciplinary, and business-critical.
• Comfort working across time zones and cultures. Our teams are remote and globally distributed.

We Offer

• Real Impact: You’ll work on meaningful products that make a measurable difference - from healthcare and commerce to sustainability and next-gen tech.
• Remote-First, Office Friendly: Work from wherever you’re most productive - whether that’s your home, a co-working space, or one of our offices. We’re a remote-first company, but if you’re near an office, you’re welcome to drop in, collaborate in person, or work onsite regularly. We prioritize async collaboration, respect your time zone, and focus on outcomes over hours.
• An Outstanding Team: Talented, kind, and hard-working people who care deeply about their craft - and about each other. No egos. No politics. Just professionals doing their best work.
• Growth: You’ll be supported in growing your craft, exploring new paths, and stepping into greater responsibility - at your own pace.
• A Culture of Excellence: We care deeply about doing the right thing - for our clients, our team, and ourselves. No burnout. No crunch. Just high-quality work, delivered sustainably.
• Variety & Stability: We’re profitable, independent, and over a decade strong. Yet every project brings a fresh challenge. You’ll never be bored here.

About the Company

Lateral stands for technology excellence. We’re a profitable, award-winning design and technology company with over 20 years of experience launching bold ventures and transforming businesses. A globally distributed team of 200+ experts united by a shared purpose: the continuous pursuit of quality.

Our clients come to us for results, quality, and craft - and stay because we keep raising the bar.

Our mission is simple: design and build great products.

What sets us apart isn’t just the talent of our team - it’s the way we work:

We Have A Bias For Action & Results

We are doers - we spot the gaps, connect the dots, anticipate what’s around the corner and take action. We move fast, stay focused, and let the results - not the effort - speak for themselves.

We Work On Time, On Budget, On Quality

Discipline is our edge - a commitment we make to each other, to our clients, and to the standards we hold ourselves to.

We Care Deeply

We care about our work and about each other. Care Is A Competitive Advantage.

Every detail matters. Every design, every line of code, every decision. Thoughtful by default.

We Do Things Right - Because It’s the Right Thing to Do

Right over easy. Integrity isn’t up for negotiation. We hold the bar high even when no one’s watching. We take pride in doing great work the right way - not the easy way.

We Keep Improving

The best teams keep improving and we’re never done learning.

We iterate. We reflect on what’s working and what’s not. Feedback fuels us, we receive it openly, and adapt quickly. Progress over perfection.

We’re Obsessed With Agility, Not The Agile Manifesto

We don’t chase dogma or rituals - we chase momentum. We adapt processes to fit problems, not the other way around.

We Take Ownership

Everyone leads something here. You will have room to run with ideas, and the trust to execute. That trust is built on how you show up: thinking things through, sweating the details, and following through.

How to Apply

If this sounds like your kind of team and you’re ready to bring your craft to Lateral, we want to hear from you.

Please send us:

• Your resume
• A short note about what excites you about this role
• Links to your work: GitHub/ Code snippets, portfolio, architecture /design docs, blog posts, or anything that shows us how you think and build. Please don’t include anything sensitive or proprietary. If you’re sharing team projects, let us know what your specific contributions were.

We review every application with care. If there’s a fit, we’ll reach out to schedule next steps.
