  • Manage and coach engagement teams, providing guidance on technical analysis, client interactions, and documentation standards
  • Build and maintain relationships with client stakeholders, including CTOs, engineering leaders, and product teams
  • Identify opportunities to expand engagements through additional advisory services and deeper client penetration
  • Monitor changes in SR&ED policy and emerging technology trends to inform client advice and internal best practices
  • Participating in project planning, resource management, and engagement economics
What you bring to the role
  • Undergraduate or graduate degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline
  • Progressive experience in software development, IT R&D, or technical consulting environments
  • Strong understanding of software architectures, development methodologies, and modern technology stacks
  • Experience with SR&ED or similar innovation incentive programs is preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to manage client relationships and lead project delivery
  • Proven experience reviewing technical work and providing constructive guidance to team members
