Job Summary The Principal Solution Consultant is a senior solution consulting and methodology leader responsible for shaping complex, outcome-driven consulting engagements. The role leads complex consulting framing, executive-level discovery, outcome architecture, governance design, and practice quality where greater ambiguity management, stakeholder alignment, and advisory rigor are required. Sitting above the Senior Solution Consultant role, the position focuses on complex or multi-domain engagements, methodology quality, and coaching across the practice. It owns the consulting narrative and advisory quality, while Engagement Directors own broader executive relationships, portfolio outcomes, strategic escalation, and account-level value realization. Technical architecture, integration patterns, scalability, and detailed platform design remain owned by Technical Architects. What you'll do As a Principal Solution Consultant, you will: Lead complex solution consulting engagements where business intent, operating model, value case, governance, and delivery approach need to be clarified. Provide executive-level discovery and advisory leadership without owning account commercials, pricing, close plans, or portfolio strategy. Shape business and operating-model architecture without owning detailed technical architecture, integrations, data flows, or platform standards. Raise solution consulting quality through methodology stewardship, stage-gate discipline, artifact quality, and coaching. Responsibilities Complex Consulting Framing and Executive Discovery Lead executive-level discovery to clarify business intent, transformation constraints, value targets, operating model impacts, risks, and success measures. Translate ambiguous business problems into structured consulting narratives, decision paths, phased approaches, and measurable outcome models. Frame current-state and future-state narratives connecting people, process, technology, governance, adoption, and value realization. Guide senior stakeholders toward decision-ready recommendations grounded in feasible delivery and customer maturity. Outcome Architecture and Governance Design Define outcome architecture, including value hypotheses, KPI models, baseline measures, target outcomes, and benefits tracking. Design governance models appropriate to engagement complexity, including stage gates, decision forums, escalation paths, and executive readout cadence. Establish consulting guardrails for scope, assumptions, risk posture, adoption needs, success measures, and decision ownership. Ensure major phases have clear evidence, decision points, and artifacts supporting alignment and accountability. Strategic Advisory Focus Help customers improve how work is governed across teams, departments, programs, and portfolios. Advise executives on organizational structures that improve accountability, visibility, and strategic alignment. Recommend portfolio management approaches balancing investment, capacity, priorities, and business outcomes. Guide customers in defining measurable goals, OKRs, reporting frameworks, and executive dashboards. Translate organizational strategy into scalable work management solutions supported by Atlassian products. Serve as a trusted advisor focused on business challenges, not simply software implementation. Methodology and Stage-Gate Advisory Apply and evolve the Solution Consulting methodology while tailoring it to client context without losing rigor or consistency. Guide teams through stage-gate advisory practices across diagnosis, design and planning, validation, activation, and scale. Review key engagement artifacts for clarity, completeness, value alignment, and readiness for customer or executive review. Identify gaps in advisory quality, governance, requirements clarity, adoption planning, or outcome measurement and help teams resolve them early. Complex Deal Advisory and Scoping Support Support complex pursuits through discovery approach, advisory workshops, solution framing, scope assumptions, value case, and delivery risk. Provide consulting input to proposals and SOWs where business outcomes, governance, operating model, roadmap, or methodology require stronger definition. Partner with Sales and Account teams as an advisory and scoping contributor without owning pursuit strategy, commercial strategy, pricing, negotiation, or close plan. Identify where additional input is required from Engagement Directors, Principal Solution Architects, Technical Architects, or delivery leadership. Artifact Ownership and Advisory Quality Create or review consulting artifacts including value cases, current-state and future-state narratives, operating models, phased roadmaps, governance models, KPI models, benefits trackers, decision logs, and executive readouts. Ensure artifacts are decision-ready, logically connected, customer-specific, and usable by delivery teams and senior stakeholders. Convert field lessons into reusable playbooks, templates, accelerators, discovery guides, workshop formats, and quality standards. Maintain a high bar for clarity, evidence, traceability, and measurable value.
