Job description

Who We Are

At Trility Consulting, we’ve built a strong, remote-work culture where people thrive, grow, and support each other – earning us Great Place to Work Certification. Headquartered in Central Iowa, we embrace flexible schedules and collaboration across geographically distributed teams serving clients from all corners of the United States and globally.

We seek team members with the grit necessary to forge paths where none previously existed, to get back up when circumstances knock them down, to adapt to the changing needs of the client even when it is uncomfortable, and to deliver on our commitments. Candidates must respect and value people, recognize that over-communication is barely good enough, thrive on solving complex problems, have a passion for building teams, and know that delivering what a client actually values is more important than their own predispositions. They understand value proposition, love delivering value, and take pride in learning the expansive and ever-changing business of clients. Candidates are self-motivated and relentlessly working to become more today than they were yesterday.

What You Will Do & The Experience You Will Need

Trility Consulting is actively seeking a Data Practice Lead who embraces a leadership role in guiding our clients through complex data challenges. In this position, you act as a technical advisor and subject matter expert, providing insights and recommendations to inform strategic decision-making and drive innovative data solutions. You will define and implement best practices for data architecture, foster a culture of learning, and mentor team members to build scalable, high-performance data systems.

Preferred location for this teammate is Des Moines, IA, or Omaha, NE. This is a remote W2 position.

Your Responsibilities

• Provide technical leadership and strategic direction for Trility’s data practice while staying updated on emerging industry trends.
• Lead discussions with clients and teams to implement architectural best practices in data solution aspects such as modeling, methodologies, and architecture.
• Implement modern Azure-based data solutions, including data lake, warehouse, lakehouse, and migration solutions with a focus on governance, security, and compliance.
• Partner with client stakeholders, architects, and developers to define and deliver scalable, value-driven data strategies.
• Communicate problem statements and solutions clearly to clients and internal teams, managing expectations and outcomes.
• Mentor and develop consultants and data engineers, modeling consulting excellence and fostering a culture of continuous growth.
• Support internal goals and strategy with Trility leadership and represent the company at conferences and industry events.

What You Bring

• 15+ years of experience in diverse teams, environments, and applications, with 5+ years as a technical consultant.
• 8+ years in data engineering, data architecture, and cloud-based data platforms with hands-on experience in tools such as Azure Data Factory (ADF), Databricks, Azure Synapse, and Azure Fabric.
• Expertise in SQL, data modeling tools, and CI/CD pipelines for data solutions.
• Strong understanding of DataOps standards, testing frameworks, and production deployment best practices.
• Proven consulting background with ability to translate technical complexity into business value and align stakeholders at all levels.
• Skilled at building rapport and relationships to become a valued, trusted advisor to clients.
