Description
Company Description
Our client is an international agency that provides scalable offshore sales and marketing solutions.
About the role
The Director of Service Delivery is the senior leader accountable for how client work gets delivered across the organization. Reporting to the COO, this role owns delivery execution, quality standards, capacity planning, and operational scalability for the entire Service Delivery function.
This role now requires a leader with a strong marketing or agency background who understands how to run multi-disciplinary delivery teams across project management, creative, content, video, tech, and related service lines. The Director must be able to improve quality control in creative and content workflows, build stronger delivery discipline, and ensure that customer expectations, internal capacity, and actual output quality remain aligned.
Working in close partnership with the Director of Customer Success, this role ensures that customer expectations set and managed by Customer Success are translated into disciplined, predictable, and commercially sound delivery. Customer Success owns the what and why; Service Delivery owns the how and when.

Creative Quality and Delivery Excellence
- Own quality systems across design, copy/content, video, and other marketing deliverables, with a particular focus on strengthening the content and creative quality layer.
- Define acceptance criteria, review standards, and quality checkpoints by deliverable type so teams know what good looks like before work is sent to customers.
- Reduce preventable QA failures, customer-facing errors, and excessive revision loops through stronger review discipline, calibration, and coaching.
- Partner with creative and content leads to identify recurring quality issues and implement corrective actions that raise standards sustainably, not temporarily.

- Hire, develop, and mentor managers and team leads to build a strong second line of leadership within Service Delivery.
- Create a culture of ownership, process discipline, accountability, and operational excellence across the delivery organization.
