As a member of the Huron corporate team, you’ll help to evolve our business model to stay ahead of market forces, industry trends and client needs. Our accounting, finance, human resources, IT, legal, marketing and facilities management professionals work collaboratively to support Huron’s collective strategies and enable real transformation to produce sustainable business results.
Join our team and create your future.

This person leads the AICC engineers who work inside Huron's business teams during US and Canada hours. They run and grow the engineering team, own delivery on their engagements, stay close to the business teams they serve, and stay technical enough to build on the hardest projects themselves.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the team. Independently lead the assigned engineers in the US and Canada window. Match people to engagements with the AICC Lead, assign work to fit availability, motivation, and growth, coach and evaluate the team, and own its delivery quality, its culture, and keeping good people.
  • Run the work in sprints. Lead sprint planning, agree a clear Definition of Ready and Definition of Done with the business and product owners, run the review demo, and hand the finished work to production.
  • Own engagement delivery. Be accountable for the solution end to end: the architecture and its quality, meeting the goals set, defining who does what, and resolving technical risks as they arise.
  • Stay hands-on where it counts. On the hardest projects, build alongside the engineer, and uphold and improve the team's technical standard.
  • Own the business relationship. Own the relationship with business stakeholders up to executive level on your engagements. Before a build starts, agree what success looks like and how it will be measured. Make sure each team sets one clear priority and names who owns the result afterward. Present the value case to executive leadership.
  • Reuse what works. Turn good builds into reusable tools, standards, and methods the next project starts from.
  • Grow the bench. Help recruit and select talent, and plan and run technical training across the team.
  • Show the value in plain numbers. Measure before and after: hours saved, less rework, more capacity, faster answers.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Current and credible with agentic engineering tools and IDEs (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or similar).
  • Solid full-stack background: React and JavaScript / TypeScript on the front end, and Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask) on the back end.
  • Has built and shipped AI solutions (LLMs and agents) into real systems, and knows how to test that work so the team can stand behind its quality.
  • Cloud (Azure, AWS) and containers (Docker, Kubernetes), with sound CI/CD, testing, and secure development practices.
  • Agile and Scrum delivery, including sprint planning and working in sprints.
  • Depth across several technical areas, and a track record of mentoring others in them.
  • Comfortable in fast-paced, changing environments with shifting priorities and unclear problems.
  • Senior people trust you. You'll push back on a badly framed problem and defer on what you don't know.
  • Can translate business workflows into working solutions.

Required Skills

  • 8 to 10+ years building or delivering technical work, including 2+ years leading engineers.
  • Comfortable estimating, planning, and running several engagements of different scale at once.
  • Clear writer and speaker who builds trust fast inside a team, and is credible presenting to executive leadership.
  • Can train and grow Huron staff, including the engineers you lead, and contribute to recruiting and hiring.
  • Aware of budget and capacity, with a practice-level eye for where cost and hours can come down on future work.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
