Delivery Manager hiring in the US is picking up. New postings rose 38% over the last 30 days compared with the 30 days before, and the week of 26 October brought 259 new roles, the most of any week in the last two months. Across the market there are now 2,025 open roles spread across 995 companies.
No single company dominates this market. The eight biggest employers together hold only 17% of open roles, so most of the hiring is happening outside the household names. Amazon, Capgemini, PWC and Oracle are among the leaders by open roles, and Accenture stands out for a 32% rise in new postings over the last 30 days, even though its own open count is small.
This is not an entry-level market. Four in five postings state a required years of experience, with a median minimum of 5 years, and 26% ask for 10 or more years. If you are earlier in your career, expect to compete for a smaller slice of these roles.
Pay is visible in 57% of postings, with a typical range of $120k to $184k across all levels. Director-level roles run higher, typically $160k to $230k. Only 19% of roles are remote, so most of this hiring is tied to a location. On visa sponsorship, 24% of open roles sit at employers with recent H-1B filings, a group that includes Amazon, Capgemini, Oracle and JPMorganChase.

Momentum
