The Challenge: A Critical Gap in the Delivery Chain
When you’re an enterprise SaaS leader in the supply chain space, "onboarding" isn’t just a checklist—it’s where the ROI happens. Our client, a fast-growing UK-based firm, faced a sudden vacancy in their Project Delivery team.
They didn't just need a "placeholder"; they needed a bridge. They required a veteran project delivery manager who could speak the language of UK leadership, manage a high-output engineering team in the Philippines, and maintain the confidence of global enterprise customers.
The Solution: Enter Ezekiel
We didn't find a "remote assistant." We found Ezekiel, a Project Delivery Specialist with over 15 years of technical experience.
Ezekiel stepped into the role of Project Delivery Manager, taking full ownership of the journey from "Initiative" to "Go-Live." His day-to-day is a masterclass in cross-functional orchestration:
- The Architect: He builds and refines onboarding playbooks and SOPs, ensuring the process evolves as fast as the product.
- The Liaison: He acts as the single source of truth for Sales, Product, and Engineering, translating business goals into technical milestones.
- The Analyst: Using SQL and Excel, he tracks onboarding KPIs to ensure every implementation is data-driven and defensible.
The Investment: £3,100 / Month
When benchmarking a standard project manager supply chain salary in the UK or US markets, an expert with 15+ years of experience—including SQL proficiency and enterprise stakeholder management—would easily command a six-figure income.
Instead, Ezekiel joined the team full-time as their dedicated project delivery manager for just £3,100 per month.
The "Celestial" Advantage
By partnering with Celeste Global, the client didn’t just save money; they gained a specialist who was already "in-market" with his expertise but priced at one-third of the local cost.
Ezekiel’s ability to work across time zones and manage complex delivery risks has allowed the client to scale their customer success department without the friction of traditional high-cost hiring.
