Senior Principal, Technology Consulting (m/f/x)

AmaliTech • Houston, TX

3d • Hybrid

About The Position

AmaliTech is building a technology consulting practice focused on private-equity-backed companies and technology-enabled value creation. Founded in 2026, the practice is growing rapidly, and the role offers an opportunity to help shape its operating model, methodologies, team structure, propositions, and client portfolio.

The Senior Principal will combine strategic advice to senior executives and investors with ownership of technical implementation and delivery oversight. Typical engagements include identifying technology-enabled value creation opportunities; building data platforms and AI-driven analytics; developing KPI dashboards and reporting for senior management and investors; delivering AI-enabled applications and automation; and overseeing large transformation programs such as ERP migrations.

The role involves growing into ownership of client relationships and leading engagements end to end, with initial support from the CEO and COO. It also includes commercial and practice development, translating between business requirements and technical delivery, guiding AI-forward work, and leading cross-functional teams based in African delivery centres. The role contributes to developing technology professionals in Ghana and Rwanda and building globally competitive technology ecosystems.

The position is hybrid and based in Germany or the US, with regular presence at the Cologne or Houston office and occasional travel to client sites and teams in Ghana and Rwanda. Travel is described as focused and periodic rather than weekly client-site travel.

• Ability to translate between business and technical stakeholders and credible familiarity with technical delivery.
• Evidence of independently managing senior client stakeholders, with judgment and presence to grow into ownership of C-level relationships.

• Passion for team development and intercultural collaboration, including developing colleagues from Ghana and Rwanda.

• Identify follow-on opportunities, shape proposals and scopes, and protect engagement economics.
• Help develop the technology consulting practice, including developing junior and mid-level consultants in Ghana and Rwanda.
• Translate business requirements into scoped, deliverable work for engineering teams and explain technical constraints in actionable terms to clients.
• Help clients identify valuable uses for AI and automation and ensure delivery teams build toward them.
• Lead cross-functional delivery teams, including engineers, business analysts, and data specialists, based in African delivery centres.
• Advise on and deliver technology-enabled value creation, including data platforms, AI analytics, KPI reporting, AI-enabled applications, automation, and transformation programs.

• Accelerated leadership trajectory toward leading engagements, owning client relationships, and helping build a consulting practice.
