Job description

This is a senior-level, high-impact consulting role at Infotek targeting professionals with 10+ years of Deltek Costpoint experience. Here's what career-minded candidates should weigh:

Track Finances

Compensation Context:

No salary is listed, but Principal-level ERP consultants specializing in Deltek Costpoint in the US typically command $120,000–$160,000+ annually, with top performers at specialized boutique firms earning more through incentive compensation. Infotek's mention of \"incentive compensation\" alongside base pay is a green flag for high performers.

Skills Development:

This role offers broad exposure across Costpoint's full suite (A&F, HCM, Materials, EVM, WFM), plus leadership, mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration with Sales, PMO, and engineering teams. These skills — particularly ERP implementation leadership and government contracting ERP expertise — are in sustained demand given Deltek's dominance in defense and government contracting markets.

• Green flag: Mentorship responsibilities and involvement in business development signal a true principal-level, strategic seat at the table.


• Green flag: Deltek certifications supported within the first year — structured investment in your credentials.


• Watch out: Billable utilization targets can create pressure; understand the target percentage before accepting.


• Watch out: \"Occasional nights and weekends\" is worth clarifying in interviews — in consulting this can range from rare to frequent.

For professionals already deep in the Deltek/government contracting ERP ecosystem, this role strengthens a highly specialized and defensible career niche with strong long‑term demand.
