Who We Are Looking For
We are seeking a Deployment Lead to be at the forefront of delivering Choreograph’s Open Media Studio (OMS) platform to clients and markets, ensuring seamless technical implementation and configuration of our best-in-class technology suite. This role is critical in bridging the gap between client and market needs, product capabilities, and offshore implementation teams to deliver tailored solutions that drive adoption and success.
You’ll take ownership of the technical deployment process, analyzing requirements, defining workflows, and coordinating with cross-functional teams to execute rollouts effectively and will work closely with our offshore implementation team to ensure consistency in delivery and guide and align priorities to ensure timely and high-quality deployments.
This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll work closely with internal stakeholders, regional teams, and external partners to define deployment strategies, troubleshoot challenges, and continuously improve processes.
What You Will Do
- Technical Deployment Leadership: Own the end-to-end technical deployment process for OMS by analyzing requirements, defining optimal configurations, and tailoring solutions to client and market needs. Collaborate with offshore implementation teams and internal stakeholders to execute deployments, address challenges, resolve roadblocks, and ensure timely and consistently high-quality delivery.
- Programme Management: Build and maintain the programme plan for individual Open Media Studio deployments, managing timelines and dependencies. Effectively manage stakeholder inputs and risks to the timeline, escalating appropriately.
- Process Development and Governance: Support development and own maintenance and adherence to the OMS deployment blueprint, including workflows, governance frameworks, and best practices to ensure consistent rollouts. Partner with WPP Open and internal teams to document prerequisites, address integration requirements, and establish QA and UAT protocols that align with user needs and deployment standards.
- Collaboration and Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary liaison between regional and market client teams, offshore implementation teams, and key stakeholders to align on deployment goals, timelines, and priorities. Foster effective communication and collaboration across teams, ensuring smooth handovers, managing expectations, and addressing dependencies or conflicting priorities proactively.
- Adoption and Success Metrics: Monitor deployment progress and adoption metrics, collaborating with internal teams to define success criteria, support change management efforts, and ensure solutions are functional and user-friendly. Provide feedback to product teams to enhance OMS capabilities based on insights gained from deployments and client objectives.
