Role Overview

As a Delivery Lead on a contract basis, you will manage client engagements end-to-end, ensuring adherence to quality, schedule, and agreed scope independently of daily founder oversight. Your daily tasks will involve overseeing small teams of consultants and engineers, managing weekly client status updates, preparing phase-gate readiness assessments, making key architectural and strategic choices for proofs of concept, ensuring deliverables meet the company’s quality standards, and maintaining project scope aligned with the statement of work through formal change documentation. You will work closely with the founder, who retains ultimate commercial ownership of accounts.

Typical engagements last between 8 to 12 weeks, including transformation programs and ongoing executive retainers. You will coordinate a pod of two to four specialists dedicating approximately 15 to 25 hours per week to active project work.

Required Qualifications

• Seven to ten years of experience managing consulting engagements or complex product and technology initiatives, with at least three years leading delivery teams.
• Proven expertise in solutions architecture spanning modern web, data, and AI/LLM technologies, with the ability to make and justify technical decisions confidently.
• Experience managing client-facing programs involving executive stakeholders, including status reporting, risk management, and scope control.
• Capability to review and enhance work performed by multidisciplinary consultants, engineers, and analysts.
• Strong proficiency in written communication and delivering presentations to VP and C-suite audiences.
• Experience working in boutique consultancy or agency settings is highly valued.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline or equivalent practical experience; a master’s degree is preferred but not mandatory.

Engagement Structure and Compensation

MJH Consulting operates as an early-stage boutique firm with this role structured as a 1099 contract position on the delivery bench. This means team members are onboarded in advance and activated as client projects arise. There is no fixed salary or retainer; instead, compensation is a share of revenue from each engagement distributed among the delivery team, with an additional bonus for bringing in new clients. Terms are outlined in the subcontractor agreement and discussed during the initial call. This model is suited for seasoned independent professionals seeking senior client work with revenue upside, rather than individuals requiring guaranteed monthly pay.

Hiring Process

The recruitment process includes an introductory discussion with the founder, followed by a case study conversation. Upon agreement, candidates complete NDA and security onboarding via the company portal before officially joining the delivery bench and working on client projects.
