About the Role
Fipsar is seeking an experienced, hands-on Senior Client Engagement & Service Delivery Manager to lead client relationships, service delivery governance, and continuous improvement for enterprise Data & Analytics managed services supporting a global life sciences organization. This is a highly visible, client-facing leadership position requiring a strong IT consulting mindset, executive stakeholder management, ITIL service management expertise, and technical understanding of enterprise data and analytics environments. The ideal candidate combines the relationship-building and advisory capabilities of an experienced technology consultant with the operational discipline of a managed services leader. We are looking for someone who can build trusted client relationships, understand business priorities, proactively recommend improvements, challenge technical teams constructively, and ensure measurable business value. This is not a traditional project management, administrative coordination, or ticket management role. The successful candidate must demonstrate ownership, technical credibility, proactive communication, and the ability to influence both business stakeholders and global delivery teams.

Managed Services Governance & Delivery Leadership:
- Own client-facing service delivery accountability for enterprise Data & Analytics managed services.
- Collaborate with offshore operations leadership and globally distributed L1/L2/L3/L4 support teams.
- Establish and maintain effective service governance, including SLAs, KPIs, operational scorecards, and escalation procedures.
- Lead service reviews, monthly business reviews (MBRs), quarterly business reviews (QBRs), and executive-level performance discussions.
- Monitor service performance, recurring issues, stakeholder satisfaction, and improvement initiatives.
- Ensure timely resolution and transparent communication of business-critical incidents and escalations.
- Align support operations with business priorities across US, EMEA, Japan, and global teams.
ITIL Process Implementation & Service Improvement:
- Lead the implementation and continuous improvement of ITIL-aligned service management practices.
- Establish effective incident, problem, change, service request, and escalation management processes.
- Drive adoption and effective utilization of ServiceNow or comparable enterprise ITSM platforms.
- Partner with technical and operations teams to ensure root cause analysis (RCA), corrective actions, and preventive measures are completed.
- Define service performance metrics, operational reporting standards, knowledge management practices, and continuous improvement plans.
- Identify opportunities to reduce recurring incidents, improve service quality, streamline processes, and automate operational activities.
- Support the transition of new projects and enhancements into structured, sustainable production support.
Executive Communication & Stakeholder Management:
- Prepare and deliver executive-level service reviews, business presentations, and operational updates.
- Clearly communicate technical challenges, service risks, improvement opportunities, and business impact.
- Ensure stakeholders receive timely, proactive updates without having to repeatedly request information.
- Manage escalations professionally, with clear accountability, ownership, and resolution plans.
- Facilitate discussions between business stakeholders, IT leadership, and technical delivery teams.
- Demonstrate the business value delivered through managed services and continuous improvement initiatives.
Technical & Cross-Functional Delivery Leadership:
- Work closely with Data Engineering, Data Platform, BI, QA, and application support teams.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Client Delivery Manager
Frame your degree for specialty occupation
Client Delivery Manager roles require a directly related bachelor's degree to qualify as a specialty occupation. Business administration, management information systems, or operations management align better than a general liberal arts degree when USCIS reviews your petition.
Search LCA filings by role title
Use Migrate Mate to find employers with verified Labor Condition Application filing history for Client Delivery Manager or similar titles. This tells you which companies have already committed to the H-1B sponsorship process for this role type.
Target consulting firms over boutique agencies
Large consulting, IT services, and enterprise software companies file H-1B petitions for Client Delivery Managers at much higher rates than small agencies. Firms that run large client accounts need this role at scale and are more likely to have existing sponsorship infrastructure.
Clarify the job description before the LCA
Client Delivery Manager responsibilities vary widely across employers. Before your employer files the LCA with DOL, confirm the job description emphasizes project oversight, client relationship management, and cross-functional coordination rather than purely sales or account management, which carries weaker specialty occupation support.
Verify prevailing wage tier before accepting an offer
Your employer must certify your wage meets the DOL prevailing wage for your location and role. Check the OFLC Wage Search tool under the 11-9000 management occupations to confirm your offered salary meets at least Level I or Level II before the LCA is submitted.
Understand PERM timing if you pursue a green card
If your employer plans to sponsor you for permanent residence after your H-1B, PERM labor certification adds 12 to 18 months before you can file an I-140. For India-born nationals, priority date backlogs in EB-2 and EB-3 can extend total timelines significantly beyond that.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Client Delivery Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B?
Yes, as long as the position genuinely requires a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as business administration, management, or information systems. The challenge is that broad job descriptions listing only communication and coordination skills can invite a Request for Evidence from USCIS. Your employer's job description should emphasize technical or analytical complexity tied to a specific degree field.
Which visa types are realistic for Client Delivery Manager candidates?
H-1B is the most common path for employer-sponsored Client Delivery Manager roles. Australian nationals can apply for the E-3 visa, which requires the same specialty occupation standard but has no lottery and a separate annual cap. Canadian and Mexican nationals may qualify under TN visa if the role maps to a USMCA-listed profession such as management consultant. F-1 OPT and STEM OPT can also cover this role during the job search phase.
How do I find Client Delivery Manager roles where employers already sponsor visas?
Migrate Mate shows employers with verified sponsorship history for roles like Client Delivery Manager, so you can focus your applications on companies that have already navigated the process. This saves time you'd otherwise spend asking hiring managers about sponsorship willingness in early screening calls.
Can a Client Delivery Manager role support a green card through EB-2 or EB-3?
Yes. Most Client Delivery Manager positions qualify under EB-3 as skilled workers requiring at least two years of experience. If the role requires an advanced degree or the employer can demonstrate exceptional business necessity, EB-2 may also apply. PERM labor certification is required for both categories, and your employer initiates that process. Country of birth determines how long the priority date backlog will affect your timeline.
What happens to my H-1B status if my employer ends my Client Delivery Manager contract early?
You have a 60-day grace period after involuntary termination to find a new employer, change status, or depart the U.S. A new employer can file an H-1B transfer petition on your behalf, and you can start working once that petition is filed, not after approval. USCIS allows this under H-1B portability rules. Acting quickly is important because the 60-day window does not pause for weekends or holidays.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Client Delivery Manager jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
