We partner with enterprises to optimise their technology estates, delivering flexible engagement models ranging from augmentation to outcome-based projects and managed teams.

As part of our continued growth, we are seeking a Senior Engagement Manager to own and grow strategic client relationships from a service and commercial perspective. This role is about owning the client relationship, ensuring service excellence, commercial health, and long-term account growth across a portfolio of engagement types.

Who We Are 

At Sedona, we thrive on solving complex challenges. By blending design, engineering, and analytics, we help organisations harness the power of technology to create innovative digital experiences and shape their future.

We are looking for an experienced Engagement Leader who excels at relationship management, governance, and commercial ownership, and who is comfortable operating across different commercial models and varying delivery approaches.

Your Role at Sedona Digital

This is a hands-on role ideal for someone who has deep delivery experience and wants to shape impactful digital transformation programs. You will oversee multiple engagement models and be accountable for service performance, governance, contract renewals, incremental change, and client satisfaction, while working in a matrix management model where many delivery team members report into Engineering Managers elsewhere in the business.
