- Own the end-to-end P&L for the region, focusing on optimal resource allocation, profitability, and operational efficiency within a lean organizational structure.
Delivery Excellence & Ecosystem Integration
- Direct large, complex global transformation programs, ensuring seamless integrations with major ERP ecosystems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics).
- Drive a "Time-to-Value" (TTV) mindset, accelerating customer Go-Lives and ROI through disciplined project management.
- Enforce rigorous PMO governance across a tiered team of Directors, Consultants, and Project Managers to ensure consistent quality.
Innovation & Agentic AI Transition
- Champion the transition from traditional SaaS implementation to Agentic AI / AI-first delivery models.
- Leverage automation and AI-driven accelerators to modernize delivery toolkits, improving implementation speed and adoption.
Cross-Functional Growth & Sales Alignment
- Partner closely with Sales to manage the Sales-to-Services hand-off, ensuring SOW integrity, margin protection, and delivery feasibility.
- Provide strategic delivery insights during pre-sales and deal shaping for high-value regional pursuits.
Customer Value & Advocacy

- Represent Zycus in industry forums, influencing procurement transformation and intelligent SaaS delivery.
Required Skills
- Experience: 12 to 18 Years in Enterprise Software/SaaS delivery, with a proven track record of managing end-to-end professional services.
- Leadership: Experience managing lean, high-impact teams of Project Managers, Consultants, and Directors.
- Domain Expertise: Strong preference for Source-to-Pay (S2P), Procurement, or Supply Chain; candidates from similarly complex enterprise domains (FinTech, ERP, CRM) are encouraged.

- Technical Literacy: Deep understanding of ERP integrations and a strong perspective on Generative/Agentic AI in enterprise delivery.
- Location: Based in or willing to relocate to Mumbai, Pune, or Bangalore.
Why Work with the Zycus Delivery Team
At Zycus, delivery is not just implementation—it is where enterprise transformation actually happens. This role offers a rare opportunity to operate at the intersection of AI innovation, global scale, and measurable business impact.
- Lead the AI-First Delivery Revolution
- Be at the forefront of shifting from traditional SaaS rollouts to Agentic AI-driven autonomous procurement ecosystems. Zycus is one of the few platforms globally embedding AI deeply into execution—not just as a feature.
- Own High-Impact, CXO-Level Transformations
- Work directly with Fortune 500 leadership to drive multi-million dollar transformation programs, where success is measured not by go-live—but by real business outcomes (cost savings, compliance, efficiency).
- Operate with Real P&L Ownership
- Unlike many services roles, you will fully own regional P&L, balancing growth, margins, and delivery excellence—giving you true business leadership exposure.
- Build and Scale Lean, Elite Teams
- Zycus believes in high-talent density over large teams. You will lead a sharp, outcome-oriented organization, not a bloated services pyramid.
- Shape the Future of Enterprise Delivery
- Influence how global enterprises adopt AI in procurement, while co-creating delivery frameworks, accelerators, and IP that define the next decade of SaaS implementation.
- Global Exposure with Emerging Market Advantage
- Lead across EMEA and APAC—diverse, high-growth markets—while being anchored in India, one of the fastest-growing hubs for enterprise SaaS innovation.
