• Demonstrated success growing a professional services practice, managing P&L or practice metrics, and driving partner co-sell strategies (preferably with Google Cloud).
• Strong background in cloud architecture (GCP preferred), enterprise AI models, data infrastructure, and modern software engineering principles.
• GCP & Cloud Data Architecture: Extensive hands-on experience designing, architecting, and deploying production-grade solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including big data architecture, data lakes, and data warehousing.
• Google Certification: Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect, Data Engineer, or Professional Machine Learning Engineer required.

• Strong debugging skills for non-deterministic AI outputs and complex API tracing.

SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE

• Embrace Diversity: You believe new and different perspectives strengthen any relationship, solution, or engagement.

Technical Skills

• Strategic Leadership: You translate complex technical opportunities into clear executive strategy and operational execution.
• Practice Building: You know how to build, scale, and manage profitable consulting practices and technical capability teams.
