Role Overview
Our client is accelerating the growth of our Data & AI Practice to become a core engine for the firm-helping enterprises modernize data foundations and operationalize AI safely at scale. We are hiring a Practice Leader to grow and mature an existing practice into a repeatable, offering-led business with strong delivery governance and a clear market narrative.
This role is for a consulting leader who wants a true scale mandate: you will own practice strategy, packaged offerings, talent, delivery standards, and practice economics-starting with BFSI as our primary growth vertical and expanding into Telco and Retail across Canada and the USA.
This is not a pure delivery role and not a traditional sales role. It is practice leadership with P&L accountability, partnering closely with sales and delivery leadership to drive predictable growth.

Why our client?
Most talented people don’t lack ideas, they lack permission.

• To challenge the way things are done.
• To move faster than quarterly planning cycles.
• To build and own the outcome.

we exist for people who think:

• “I could do more if bureaucracy wasn’t in the way.”
• “Technology is moving faster than my organization can react.”
• “I want to be accountable for results, not just tasks.”
• “I want to build a business, not just work in one.”

Build, Don’t Just Execute

• We are not a place where ideas die in decks and approvals. If you see a better way to solve a problem, you are expected to pursue it from concept to execution. Your thinking doesn’t stop at delivery, it extends to outcomes, value, and growth.

Operate Like an Owner

• You’ll have the autonomy to: Shape solutions, not just implement requirements - Influence strategy, not just follow it
• We believe in ownership over hierarchy - When the business grows, you grow with it through, visibility, trust, responsibility, and shared success.

Move at the Speed of Change

• Technology doesn’t wait. Neither do we.
• mobileLIVE is built for people who are energized by rapid change and continuous learning where AI, cloud, data, and modern engineering aren’t buzzwords, but tools you actively shape and apply.
• If you’re frustrated by slow decision-making, outdated processes, or risk-averse cultures, you’ll find this environment refreshing and demanding in the best way.

A Place for Builders

• This is not the right place if you want: Clear lanes, narrow roles, and fixed playbooks - Comfort over accountability - Direction without responsibility. But if you want to create, experiment, lead, and leave a mark, mobileLIVE is the right platform for it.

This is your chance to build a business within a company and share in the success of what you help create.
You Will:
As Practice Leader, you will have:

• Direct access to the executive leadership for sponsorship, decision-making, and prioritization
• Authority to define and evolve the practice operating model, offering portfolio, and delivery standards
• Influence on packaging and pricing approach for offerings, in partnership with commercial leadership

Core Responsibilities
1) Practice Strategy, Positioning & Growth

• Define the practice vision and roadmap, aligned to enterprise modernization and production-scale AI.

• Position the practice clearly inside mobileLIVE and externally in the market.

2) Packaged Offerings, IP & Differentiation

• Build and evolve a portfolio of packaged, repeatable offerings (not bespoke-only), such as:

• Lead capability-led business development-helping clients progress from assessment → MVP → scale.

• Contribute to thought leadership, POVs, and client narratives that clearly articulate outcomes and differentiation.

4) Solutioning & Pre-Sales Leadership

• Sponsor solution shaping and deal design: discovery framing, target architecture, delivery approach, staffing, and assumptions.
• Maintain pricing/estimation discipline and protect margin integrity.
• Support strategic RFP/RFI responses and ensure each deal has a clear win theme.

5) Delivery Governance & Practice Standards

• Define practice delivery standards: quality gates, governance, reuse expectations, and “how we deliver” playbooks.
• Partner with delivery leadership to manage escalations and improve predictability and outcomes across engagements.
• Drive continuous improvement through retrospectives, playbook refinement, and shared learning.

6) Talent, Capability & Practice Building

• Define the Data & AI skill taxonomy and role definitions (data engineering, platform, analytics, ML/GenAI, MLOps/LLMOps, governance, architecture).
• Partner with Talent on hiring profiles, standards, and interview bars; ensure time-to-productivity through strong onboarding and enablement.
• Build communities of practice, learning paths, and internal enablement.

7) Ecosystem & Partner Alignment

• Collaborate with cloud/data/AI platform partners and internal leads to strengthen differentiation.
• Influence joint motions (accelerators, reference architectures, co-sell) where they support practice goals.

Attributes
