Managing Principals are seasoned experts in information security and/or information security governance and compliance. Successful candidates support the Security and Compliance Practice in Delivery, Business Development, and Practice Development activities.

Managing Principals collaborate with a diverse team of consultants with varying skills to meet and exceed client expectations through scoped engagements. They effectively facilitate and lead client engagements onsite or remotely by guiding engagements toward scoped objectives and troubleshooting to effectively resolve project risks or issues. Managing Principals effectively lead client delivery engagements by executing the necessary project tasks, producing expected collateral, and presenting artifacts at any time throughout an engagement, while acting in a leadership capacity to the project team(s), and managing customer stakeholders.

Managing Principals also support business development activities alongside a sales specialist to qualify client needs and expectations or demonstrate a capability or skillset. They may be directly engaged in client-facing interactions to identify client needs and to produce and/or present sales proposals, leading client-visioning, or discovery sessions. Managing Principals may also collaborate with other AHEAD Practice areas to identify complex, cross-practice solution sets to achieve a client’s desired state or outcome.

Lastly, AHEAD Managing Principals also leverage their visibility and experience to contribute to the continuous improvement and maturation of in-practice service offerings and capabilities by proposing ideas for change and executing on ideas that are committed. This includes positively impacting our service portfolio and individuals on the team through thought leadership and mentorship. Managing Principals require approval from management prior to making any significant change to a given service offering or capability.
