This is a senior individual-contributor role built for someone who wants real autonomy over how a workstream gets solved: you set the technical approach, make the call on readiness, and decide when to escalate, without waiting for direction on ambiguous problems.\nYour impact is measured by the outcome of the workstream and the capability you build around it - not by how many hard problems you personally solve or how closely you're managed along the way. You'll shape how PowerPlan's Professional Services organization delivers, scales, and develops its people.\nResponsibilities\nSuccess will be measured by how independently you own a workstream from discovery to stabilization, and by how much less senior intervention your delivery requires over time.\nLead the technical workstream end-to-end - discovery, design, build, testing, cutover, go-live, and stabilization with a delivery plan that makes dependencies, milestones, and open decisions visible to everyone.\nMake readiness decisions on evidence, not schedule pressure, using explicit criteria at design-complete, build-complete, and cutover gates.\nTurn ambiguous technical problems into decision-ready escalations - evidence, options, and a recommendation instead of raw status updates.\nLead technical workshops and design sessions, translating complex topics for engineers, business stakeholders, and executives alike.\nTransfer knowledge deliberately throughout the engagement so customers can operate and support the solution independently.\nConnect technical decisions to schedule, cost, risk, and client obligations, catching scope drift before it becomes a change-order surprise.\nCoach other consultants through the reasoning behind a solution, and build the reusable standards and playbooks that reduce key-person dependency.\nQualifications\nProven experience leading complex technical delivery end-to-end, from discovery through go-live and stabilization, across enterprise implementations, integrations, or cloud initiatives.\nA track record of building and maintaining delivery plans that keep dependencies, milestones, and decisions visible to the full team.\nStrong judgment for evidence-based readiness decisions, and the discipline to call something “not ready” even under schedule pressure.\nExperience escalating problems as decision-ready recommendations - with evidence, options, and impact - rather than raw status updates.\nComfort leading technical workshops and translating complex topics for audiences ranging from engineers to executives.\nA history of transferring knowledge deliberately so customers and teammates can operate independently.\nAbility to connect technical decisions to cost, schedule, risk, and client obligations, and to spot scope or budget risk early.\nExperience coaching or mentoring other technical consultants, and building reusable standards, templates, or playbooks.\nBachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent professional experience.\nPreferred\nPMP or a similar project/delivery certification.\nExperience with a Professional Services Automation platform such as Certinia PSA.\nPrior experience specifically in enterprise SaaS implementation or cloud migration engagements.\nPowerPlan is an EOE\nApplicant Privacy Notice\nPlease note that this is a hybrid role that involves a combination of onsite work from our corporate office as well as work from home. While we strive to accommodate flexible working arrangements when sensible, there will be times when onsite work is required. This could include scheduled office days, team meetings, client meetings, or special events.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3820,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Software","Accounting & Tax Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-03T10:47:41Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":187500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":38,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-04T01:57:31Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/powerplan-lead-technical-consultant","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/powerplan-lead-technical-consultant.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-04T01:57:31Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2650,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2350,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-05T00:00:00Z"}}}
