LATAM Delivery Lead at Praxent

Why Praxent?

We get it. You have options. Let us tell you why we’re different. Our work is changing the world of financial services. Everyday, clients arrive with big ideas for their industry. They’re experts in their field with the vision and resources you need to change everything. All that’s left is the right team to bring that vision to life. If you are curious, adaptable, and energized by variety, you're going to like it here. We help our clients modernize, rather than rebuild, outdated customer-facing software applications. Our clients see a return within weeks instead of months and that’s why they choose us.

At Praxent, we let you do your work your way. We’re a team of 170+ located throughout the United States and Central/South America. Our role is to encourage you, support you, and give you the freedom you need to thrive. You choose where you work. We focus on outcomes, not offices.

We trust our people to be their best. It’s a level of autonomy and respect that’s helped us build a team where skilled professionals do their best work and genuinely support each other. Experts who also happen to be some of the best colleagues you’ve ever worked alongside.

This role has been categorized as a Remote position. “Remote” employees do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice which must be identified to the Company. Team members may live in the following locations: El Salvador, Mexico, or Colombia

How You'll Work with AI:

You'll lead teams that use AI heavily day to day, which means part of your job is calibrating where AI is speeding delivery up and where it's quietly adding risk: over-trusted summaries, hallucinated specs, false confidence in ambiguous decisions. The delivery leads who thrive here have a working point of view on AI in client engagements: when to bring it forward to the client, when to keep it internal, and how to communicate the value it's creating without overpromising.

What You’ll Do:

• Communicate Clearly: Projects get done well when the team is working together and communicating well. You set the tone.
• Creating a Common Goal: Whether it’s project scope, budget, or timeline–you get everyone on the same page.
• Driving Success: You understand that when acceptance criteria and project objectives are clearly defined, the project gets where it needs to be.
• Role Ownership: You’re comfortable acting as the team leader of a project; working with minimal oversight and direction.
• Creating Relationships: You’re ready to set up a steady stream of communication between you and your clients. You can anticipate their needs.
• Creating Accountability: For your client and for your team–everyone knows what needs to be done and when.
• Vision Sharing & Knowledge Transfer: No two projects are alike. We want you to teach us what you learn from each one, so we can all get better together.
