Job description

Provectus is a Premier AWS partner at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence solutions, empowering businesses to unlock value and accelerate their transformation via bespoke applications, managed services, and advisory engagements. With offices in North America, LATAM, and EMEA, Provectus partners with clients around the world and is obsessed with leveraging cloud, data, and AI to reimagine the way clients operate & compete.

As a Principal Solution Owner, you will drive end-to-end solution strategy, oversee complex project & program delivery, and cultivate trusted partnerships with senior stakeholders. This role is designed for a strategic thinker with deep technical acumen and a proven track record in consulting, delivery leadership, and client success.

You will thrive in this role if you have a learner’s mindset, a servant-leader mentality, and a passion for getting things done. You may come from an engineering, design, or project management background and will most certainly leverage the special skills & experiences you’ve acquired throughout your career. A firm understanding and appreciation for consultative selling, account planning, and alliance partnerships is a huge plus, as are certifications from partners such as AWS, GCP, and Microsoft.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead multiple large-scale, complex delivery projects on client engagements across all industries & verticals in a hands-on role.
• Define and work within an agile framework, including estimation, facilitating backlog refinement, agile ceremonies, partnering with product owners, and demonstrations. Lead short-term discovery teams to help clients solidify their vision, create a plan to pull the future forward, and align technical resources to ensure a viable & desirable outcome during longer-length delivery & iterative development.
• Be an advocate for change, embracing evolving requirements as new information is obtained and leveraging empirical process control to incorporate knowledge into working product increments.
• Serve as the pivot between business & technical teams, aligning on timelines, approaches, and outcomes while helping translate between these domains. Be the functional and subject matter expert for the solution being delivered and own the outcome.
• Be the first point of escalation for team & client stakeholder concerns, identifying risks, creating mitigation plans, and resolving issues to remove roadblocks.
• Build and maintain relationships with C-level stakeholders, acting as a trusted advisor, keeping all internal & client stakeholders informed and aligned on project status, delivery updates, risks, issues, and communications.
• Prepare & deliver client presentations, including discovery readouts, delivery plans, prototypes, POCs, and after-action reports.
• Lead business development efforts, including proposal development and client presentations.
• Oversee financial performance, including budgeting, forecasting, and profitability analysis.

Requirements:

• 12+ years of leadership experience in consulting, product, or program delivery environments, ideally with a focus on data, AI/ML, or cloud technologies.
• Proven experience overseeing large programs, distributed teams, and engaging directly with enterprise executives.
• Technical acumen in modern architecture, cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), data ecosystems, and AI/ML solution design is strongly preferred.
• Deep expertise in agile delivery frameworks, project, and product management.
• Ability to 'see around corners' and help align delivery, practice, and leadership on proactive risk mitigation.
• Executive presence and storytelling ability to communicate complex ideas to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Exceptional skills in client relationship management, stakeholder alignment, and cross-cultural team leadership.
• Experience supporting business development efforts, including proposals, RFP responses, and pre-sales engagements.
• Solid understanding of budget & contract management, including burn rates, forecasts, and contractual engagement models (T&M, fixed capacity, fixed fee, etc).

What Success Looks Like:

• Delivery of scalable, high-impact AI/ML solutions aligned with client strategy.
• Deep, lasting relationships with executive stakeholders.
• Development of repeatable delivery practices and methodologies.
• Active contribution to the growth and positioning of the firm’s solution offerings.

What We Offer:

• Remote-first work environment with flexible scheduling.
• Opportunity to contribute to high-stakes projects for mid-sized and large corporations.
• Collaborative culture that values innovation, curiosity, and continuous learning.
• Competitive compensation package and professional development support.
• Comprehensive benefits, including health, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match, and unlimited PTO.
• Diverse professional network across industries and technology domains.
