Polysense is enabling food manufacturers to see and control their processes in ways that were previously impossible. Our computer vision and process optimization solutions reduce waste, improve quality consistency, and unlock operational leverage at scale. As we grow rapidly across enterprise food producers worldwide, delivery excellence becomes a strategic differentiator.
To support this next phase, we are hiring our Head of Delivery. This is a senior leadership role with end-to-end ownership of how Polysense solutions are implemented, deployed, and scaled across customer operations. Your mission is simple but critical: build a delivery function that is predictable, repeatable, and scalable without compromising value.
This role combines delivery leadership, project governance, and organisational scaling. You will not manage every project yourself, but you will ensure every project is run well.
💼 What you’ll be doing
01. End-to-end delivery ownership
Build out and shape the Delivery organisation, including Project Managers, Engineers, Field Hardware, etc.
Define and continuously improve the delivery motion: how Polysense moves from sale to live production, at scale.
Ensure implementations are delivered on time, within scope, and with clear value outcomes.
Oversee pilots, rollouts, and multi-line / multi-site deployments.
Act as escalation point for delivery risks, scope changes, and customer alignment issues.
02. Project management leadership
Lead, manage, and coach the Delivery team while hiring and scaling the function as the company grows.

Own delivery communication in complex stakeholder environments across:
Operations
IT

Executive leadership
Ensure clarity on scope, timelines, risks, and decision ownership.
