About the role

Join AHEAD's Rapid Solutions Team as a Rapid Solutions Pod Lead within the AI & Cloud Practice, leading engagements end-to-end, coaching a small pod of engineers, and evolving the Rapid Solutions offering across multi-cloud, platform engineering, and AI-driven solutions.

Responsibilities

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 delivery frameworks and cross-practice initiatives.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of relevant experience in Engagement Leadership, People Leadership, and Solution Delivery (as detailed in responsibilities)
