Senior Technical Consultant

Roles and Responsibilities:

Engagement Leadership

• Own every engagement end to end as Engagement Lead, from kickoff through executive readout, serving as the primary customer point of contact and the single point of accountability for delivery.
• Own scope and SoW compliance: set success criteria, manage change control, and keep stakeholders aligned on outcomes and boundaries.
• Run governance and cadence: standups, status reporting, stakeholder and steering reviews, RAID management, and decision logs.
• Act as the escalation point for engagement risk, resolving issues before they threaten scope, timeline, or the client relationship.
• Drive quality control through peer reviews and readiness checks on all client-facing deliverables.

People Leadership

• Lead a 2-3 person pod, planning and executing work across discovery, analysis, and executive readout, and ensuring each engagement has the right people staffed against it.
• Set quarterly and annual goals for pod members and provide structured coaching and feedback to support their growth.
• Staff and manage utilization across sold and internal projects, forecasting needs and maintaining delivery rhythm.
• Maintain engagement hygiene: risks, decisions, and artifact version control.

Solution Delivery

• Drive technical discovery and analysis across multi-cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), platform engineering, identity, networking, security, and app/data domains.
• Produce prioritized recommendations with effort sizing and a sequenced roadmap.
• Translate findings into executive-ready narratives tied to business outcomes.

Standards, Tooling & Reuse

• Implement AI-driven solutions to reduce toil and accelerate insight.
• Capture and evolve collateral (questionnaires, scoring rubrics, readout templates) and fold it into the Rapid Solutions playbook for consistent delivery.

Practice Development & Offering Evolution

• Define and refine Rapid Solutions offerings: own the playbook, templates, and delivery standards, removing ambiguity and ensuring repeatability.
• Partner with practice leaders to align Rapid Solutions standards with broader AHEAD delivery frameworks and cross-practice initiatives.
