Technical Delivery Lead (East Coast, US)

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.

We do things differently at Lateral

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.

What You’ll Do

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.

What We’re Looking For

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
