Delivery Principal

Liatrio is a boutique consulting firm that helps enterprises deliver software faster, safer and more efficiently. Our work is dual mode : engineering delivery and people enablement. We lead DevOps transformations in many different industries, anywhere from financial institutions to healthcare providers to the department of defense.

We're looking for someone with recent experience as an account principal, delivery principal, engineering director, consulting director, or engineering vice president who is passionate about both best practices in modern engineering and enabling clients through transferring knowledge, coaching, training and upskilling.

The delivery principal is accountable for engagement excellence for our clients, building and maintaining solid client relationships as a trusted strategic advisor, and overall engagement success. Internally, this role will foster positive team morale, provide individual feedback and drive the staffing needs of an engagement.

  • Navigate ambiguity and frequent change

This is a manager role. You're happy being a "hands-on" trusted advisor for clients' DevOps transformation and guiding others to do the same.
