[Hiring] Principal Advisor @World Wide Technology Healthcare Solutions

Role Description

The Principal Advisor is a senior transformation leader within WWT Engineering Services. You will shape strategic technology-led change for customers — from presales architecture visioning to delivery governance — ensuring that every engagement drives measurable, business-aligned transformation outcomes.

You blend technology strategy, enterprise architecture, presales solutioning, delivery excellence, and organisational transformation. As a senior partner to Sales and Delivery, you ensure the solutions we propose are strategically grounded, technically sound, and executable in real-world customer environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Technology Transformation Strategy & Architecture Leadership:
  • Lead the development of modernisation strategies and technology transformation roadmaps across cloud, data, security, workplace, networking, automation, and platform domains.
  • Connect business strategy to architectural direction — framing current-state challenges and defining target-state architectures, capabilities, operating models, and value realisation paths.
  • Facilitate executive-level discussions that simplify complex technology landscapes and drive alignment on transformation priorities.
• Presales Leadership & Outcome-Driven Solutioning:
  • Own the transformation narrative in pursuit cycles, developing outcome-focused proposals, architectural options, and multi-phase execution plans.
  • Translate problem statements into scalable, secure, cost-effective architectures and implementation pathways that balance innovation with risk.
  • Drive end-to-end presales solutioning across ES&A, Consulting, EA, Practices, and ATC — ensuring scope, stages, risks, governance, and success measures are defined from the outset.
  • Engage confidently with C-level and senior technical leaders to shape demand and align on strategic direction.
• Delivery Excellence & Transformation Governance:
  • Provide senior oversight throughout delivery to protect the architectural intent, transformation roadmap, and business-outcome commitments.
  • Operate the Two-in-the-Box model with PMO to control scope, risks, dependencies, quality gates, and stakeholder communications.
  • Lead or support transformation governance forums (steering committees, architectural boards) to ensure alignment, transparency, and executive confidence.
  • Champion measurable value: operating-model change, adoption, risk reduction, performance uplift, and transformation KPIs.
• Organisational Change, Adoption & Operating-Model Shift:
  • Ensure technology transformation is matched by people, process, and organisational evolution, including role definition, capability uplift, training, and embedding new ways of working.
  • Guide customers through the impacts of modernisation (e.g., cloud operating models, agile DevOps adoption, automation-driven processes, zero-trust uplift).
  • Partner with delivery and consulting teams to ensure transformation outcomes are achieved and sustained beyond project completion.
• Practice Development, Offerings & Thought Leadership:
  • Lead or co-lead development of new ES&A transformation offerings — patterns, methodologies, accelerators, reference architectures, value frameworks.
  • Strengthen repeatable approaches for strategy-to-execution, discovery-to-roadmap, and presales-to-delivery continuity.
  • Mentor architects, consultants, and engineers to raise the organisation’s capability in transformation consulting and architecture-led delivery.
  • Contribute to internal thought leadership, enablement, and knowledge-sharing across global ES teams.

Qualifications

• 10+ years guiding complex technology transformations across enterprises (cloud, network/security, workplace, data/AI, automation, platform modernisation).
• Proven experience shaping strategic transformation roadmaps, enterprise-wide architectures, and multi-phase programmes.
• Strong presales and consulting expertise — discovery, problem framing, value articulation, storytelling, positioning, and commercial shaping.
• Demonstrated ability to assure large, multi-domain deliveries and maintain alignment to architectural intent and business outcomes.
• Experience leading governance, influencing senior executives, and managing risk across cross-functional delivery teams.

Requirements

• Enterprise Architecture & Modernisation Patterns: cloud operating models, network transformation, zero trust, workplace re-platforming, automation pipelines, data platforms.
• Consulting Craft: hypothesis-driven framing, structured storytelling, facilitation, executive influencing.
• Transformation Governance: RAID, change control, benefits realisation, roadmap tracking, organisational readiness.
• Commercial Acumen: estimation, pricing, risk modelling, commercial guardrails, SOW clarity.
• Change & Adoption: capability uplift, service introduction, operating-model change, workforce readiness.
• Leadership: guiding multidisciplinary teams, mentoring senior technologists, driving cross-functional alignment.

Measures of Success

• Transformation proposals that result in strategic multi-phase wins with strong executive sponsorship.
• Engagements delivered on time, on budget, and aligned to target-state architectures and outcomes.
• Increased adoption of modernised capabilities and operating models within the customer organisation.
• Repeatable transformation assets and patterns adopted across ES&A.
• Observable uplift in architecture, delivery, and consulting capability across the team.
