Principal Consultant – FinTech Platform Delivery

🌍 Remote, USA 🎯 Full-time 🕐 Posted Recently

Job Description

Intellibus Consulting is a boutique engineering and AI transformation firm that builds mission-critical platforms for global financial institutions. We are hands-on builders who operate at the intersection of engineering excellence, business outcomes, and executive-level delivery. Every leader at Intellibus is expected to stay close to the technology and the client.

Job Description

We are seeking a senior, hands-on Technical Delivery Lead to drive large-scale fintech and banking platform programs under aggressive timelines. This is a lead-from-the-front role, responsible not only for delivery governance but also for deep technical oversight across architecture, engineering, testing, release management, and production stability.

You will work directly with C-level and VP-level client stakeholders, translate business goals into executable engineering plans, and ensure delivery across distributed teams meets enterprise standards for reliability, security, and performance.

This is not a PMO or reporting-only role. You are expected to understand systems deeply, challenge designs, drive technical decisions, and own outcomes.

    Client & Executive Engagement

  • Run executive reviews, roadmap discussions, and escalation management.
  • Translate business priorities into technical delivery plans and milestones.
    Consulting & Program Execution
  • Lead large fintech programs in consulting environments.
  • Navigate shifting priorities, scope changes, and regulatory pressures.
  • Maintain delivery velocity while protecting engineering quality.
    Decks, Documentation & Communication (Critical Requirement)
  • Own creation of high-quality client-facing decks and technical documents, including:
  • Architecture overviews
  • Delivery plans and timelines
  • Risk and mitigation strategies
  • Incident and stability reports
  • Convert client discussions into structured deliverables and execution plans.
  • Strong technical writing skills are mandatory.
    Required Qualifications
  • 15+ years in technology delivery, with at least 8–10 years leading enterprise programs.
  • Strong background in fintech, banking, capital markets, or trading platforms.
  • Prior experience in engineering consulting environments is required.
  • Proven track record in managing programs with tight regulatory and client deadlines.
    Technical Depth
  • Strong understanding of:
  • Distributed systems and microservices
  • APIs and event-driven architectures
  • Cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
  • CI/CD pipelines and release management
  • Data pipelines, batch processing, and reconciliation flows
  • Monitoring, alerting, and incident response

    Business & Leadership Skills
  • MBA or equivalent business leadership experience strongly preferred.
  • Executive-level communication and stakeholder management skills.

  • Present complex topics clearly to executive audiences
