Director, Technical Architecture and Development

United States

Role Description

The Director, Technical Architecture and Development is a right hand to Neocol’s Managing Director of Technical Architecture and Development. You will share the load of leading our architects and developers: setting technical direction on client engagements, keeping delivery on track, driving internal initiatives, and developing the people around you. You will take full ownership of the areas assigned to you and see them through without needing to be managed.

This role suits an experienced consulting architect who already leads by example and is ready to step into director-level leadership. Roughly half of your time will be billable, working hands‑on as an architect and providing technical oversight across one or more client engagements. The rest goes to pre‑sales leadership, internal initiatives, and helping to lead the team. You will work across all of our delivery teams and portfolios, and as the practice grows, teams are expected to roll up to this role.
