Technical Lead – Delivery & Client Solutions

Role Overview

As the Technical Lead – Delivery & Client Solutions, you will act as the key bridge between sales, management, clients, and the engineering team.

You will help scope projects before they start, translate business needs into clear technical plans, guide the team during delivery, and ensure what we build is aligned with client goals, technical reality, timelines, and budgets.

You should be able to lead discussions with clients, ask the right questions, identify risks early, define solution direction, and give the engineering team the clarity they need to execute successfully. Internally, you will help management make better delivery and technical decisions. Externally, you will help clients feel that they are speaking with someone who understands both their business goals and how products actually get built.

Key Responsibilities

1. Bridge sales, clients, and engineering

- Join client and internal stakeholder discussions to understand business goals, requirements, constraints, and priorities.

- Translate client needs into clear technical scopes, delivery plans, estimates, and implementation approaches.

- Help sales and management assess project fit, feasibility, complexity, timelines, and risks before commitments are made.

- Act as a trusted technical counterpart in conversations with clients, while also protecting the delivery team from vague or unrealistic expectations.

- Ensure strong alignment between what is sold, what is scoped, and what is actually delivered.

2. Own delivery and execution

- Take responsibility for the successful delivery of projects from discovery through launch.

- Break down projects into practical milestones, priorities, tickets, and clear technical workstreams.

- Lead sprint planning, backlog refinement, delivery tracking, and cross-functional coordination.

- Identify blockers, scope gaps, technical debt, or dependency risks early, and drive resolution.

- Keep projects moving by making sound trade-off decisions around scope, quality, time, and budget.

- Ensure engineering output is aligned with agreed requirements and business outcomes.

3. Provide technical leadership

- Guide architecture and implementation decisions across frontend, backend, blockchain, AI, and integrations as needed.

- Support developers with technical direction, solution reviews, and decision-making on complex issues.

- Establish high standards for code quality, maintainability, system design, and delivery discipline.

- Review technical approaches to ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and realistic for the project stage.

- Help the team balance speed and quality, especially in fast-moving client environments.

4. Contribute to product development and solution design

- Shape product thinking during discovery by helping define workflows, priorities, edge cases, and implementation logic.

- Work closely with management, design, and engineering to convert ideas into clear, buildable product requirements.

- Help create and review PRDs, technical specifications, architecture notes, user stories, and acceptance criteria.

- Ensure product decisions are grounded in user needs, technical feasibility, and commercial value.

- Give input not only on how to build something, but also on whether it should be built that way in the first place.

5. Lead teams and strengthen accountability

- Provide day-to-day leadership to developers and other technical contributors across projects.

- Create clarity around ownership, expectations, delivery standards, and team coordination.

- Mentor team members, improve execution habits, and raise the overall quality of delivery.

- Hold the team accountable for output, while also taking responsibility for giving them the context and direction they need to succeed.

- Foster a culture of proactive communication, problem solving, and delivery ownership.

6. Support commercial and client success

- Support proposals, solution scoping, delivery planning, and budget conversations with a practical technical lens.

- Help clients understand trade-offs, phases, priorities, and realistic implementation paths.

- Spot opportunities to improve project outcomes, extend engagements, or propose smarter solution directions.

- Communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders, including founders, business teams, and management.

- Represent TokenMinds as a credible technical and product partner in client-facing conversations.
