We help organizations operate, secure, and modernize complex environments by unifying infrastructure, networking, data, security, automation, and observability under a single, integrated operating model. Our work focuses on helping customers reduce operational friction, improve resilience, and make better, faster decisions as their environments evolve. Arctiq builds on decades of industry expertise and a customer-centric ethos to deliver exceptional value to clients across diverse industries.</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\"><br>Job Summary:</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive<span> </span><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Team Lead, Engineering, Data &amp; AI</span><span>, </span>to join our team. This role </span>leads a team of solution engineers who deliver fixed-price, outcome-based data and AI projects for our clients. This is a high-accountability leadership role where technical excellence and commercial discipline are equally important — in a fixed-price model, every scoping decision, delivery risk, and scope change has a direct impact on project margin and client trust. Reporting to the Director of Data &amp; AI, you will own the full delivery lifecycle across your team's client portfolio: from pre-sales scoping and SOW definition through to outcome acceptance. You will work in close partnership with the Architecture team to ensure solutions are right-sized and deliverable within agreed commercial boundaries, and you will be the senior escalation point for clients when engagements encounter turbulence.</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

Scoping</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><br>Partner with sales and business development to scope new client opportunities — translating client requirements into technically sound, commercially viable fixed-price proposals</li>\n<li><br>Lead or oversee effort estimation for engineering deliverables, applying rigorous bottom-up analysis and incorporating appropriate risk buffers for uncertainty</li>\n<li><br>Review and sign-off on SOW language relating to engineering deliverables, acceptance criteria, and out-of-scope boundaries before contracts are executed</li>\n<li><br>Support client discovery workshops and technical due diligence, helping prospects build confidence in our delivery capability and approach</li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Client Relationship Management</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><br>Serve as the senior engineering point of contact for clients on active engagements, building trusted relationships with client-side technical leads and project sponsors</li>\n<li><br>Proactively communicate project status, risks, and decisions — clients in a fixed-price model need confidence that their outcomes are being actively managed</li>\n<li><br>Lead difficult conversations when engagements are off-track: own the recovery plan, align with the client on a path forward, and follow through</li>\n<li><br>Represent the engineering team in client steering committees and executive check-ins as needed</li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Team Leadership &amp; Development</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><br>Lead, coach, and develop a team of solution engineers — from junior to senior — building capability in both technical delivery and client-facing professionalism</li>\n<li><br>Assign engineers to engagements thoughtfully, balancing project requirements, individual development goals, and team utilization</li>\n<li><br>Set and model the standard for delivery quality, client communication, and commercial awareness within the team</li>\n<li><br>Conduct regular 1:1s, structured performance reviews, and proactive career development conversations — invest in your people's long-term growth, not just immediate project needs</li>\n<li><br>Build a team culture where engineers feel accountable for outcomes, not just activities</li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Methodology, Tooling &amp; Repeatability</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><br>Build and continuously improve the delivery playbooks, estimation templates, and reusable accelerators that help the team scope and execute engagements more predictably</li>\n<li><br>Identify patterns across client engagements and codify repeatable solution components that reduce delivery risk and improve margin on future work</li>\n<li><br>Partner with the Architecture team to ensure delivery methodology stays aligned with sound technical design principles.</li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Evaluate and introduce tooling, frameworks, or AI-assisted development practices that meaningfully improve engineering throughput on client projects</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

hands-on familiarity with dbt, Airflow, Spark, or equivalent transformation and orchestration tooling</li>\n<li><br>Ability to read, review, and provide meaningful technical feedback on engineering work — you may not be coding day-to-day, but you can tell good from poor solution design</li>\n<li><br>Understanding of DataOps principles: CI/CD for data, data quality frameworks, testing, and observability in production</li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Commercial &amp; Delivery Skills</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><br>Sharp commercial instincts — you understand how fixed-price projects make or lose money and can translate that understanding into the daily decisions your team makes</li>\n<li><br>Strong estimation and risk assessment skills; you know how to build contingency into a scope without pricing yourself out of a deal</li>\n<li><br>Experienced with SOW structure, acceptance criteria definition, and change order management</li>\n<li><br>Comfortable with project financial reporting — burn rates, margin tracking, and forecasting at the portfolio level</li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Leadership &amp;
