Description

 

Badal by TELUS Business is a high-impact Google Cloud consulting team acquired by TELUS Communications in 2024. We partner with leading enterprises across banking, telco, retail, energy and other sectors to solve their most complex business challenges using the power of cloud-native technology. We lead digital transformation across data, analytics, AI/ML, and security domains—raising the bar at every engagement.

 

Our team and what we'll accomplish together

 

You'll join the Badal by TELUS leadership team as the Head of our Platform Engineering Practice—a strategic pillar of the business. This role blends technical depth with business leadership and is ideal for someone excited to shape offerings, scale a high-performing team, and drive commercial impact across the cloud engineering lifecycle.

 

You will lead solution development, talent growth, and go-to-market execution across four focus areas:

 

  • Core Platform Engineering
  • DevSecOps
  • Cloud Migration
  • Application Modernization

 

This is your opportunity to define what great looks like in cloud platform consulting.

 

How you'll be successful:

 

As the Director of Business Development and Head of our Platform Engineering Practice, you'll define and scale our offerings across Core Platform, DevSecOps, Cloud Migration, and Application Modernization domains. You will lead high-impact client engagements from pre-sales through delivery, acting as both a technical authority and executive sponsor.

 

Your leadership will drive innovation, delivery excellence, and team growth, while ensuring our solutions consistently exceed client expectations. Collaborating closely with sales, engineering, PMO and leadership, you will turn client challenges into scalable services—and own the practice's performance, strategy, and capacity planning.

 

You'll also provide:

 

  • Technical leadership on cloud architecture, Kubernetes orchestration, and modern infrastructure patterns
  • Strategic vision for client solutions leveraging GCP, AWS, Azure, Terraform, and cutting-edge DevOps tools
  • People leadership by coaching high-performing technical teams in a consulting context
  • Financial acumen, including management of practice-level P&L and resource utilization
  • Sales/professional services outreach, including participation in or leading pre-sales activities and opportunity initiation
  • Innovation by continuously evolving practice capabilities to stay ahead of market needs
  • Standards & governance by embedding security, compliance, and operational excellence into solutions
  • Execution excellence with a relentless focus on value, quality, and speed in delivery

 

 

Qualifications

 

You're the missing piece of the puzzle:

 

You are likely in a similar engineering & business leadership position today, with many of the following talents and experience points:

 

  • You bring 10+ years of experience in platform/cloud engineering or DevOps roles, with at least 3 years in a practice leadership, people management, or consulting director role
  • You have effectively managed P&L, grown practices and supported go-to market execution
  • You have experience working within consulting or professional services teams, delivering enterprise solutions
  • You have done business development, account management or technical sales, initiating new relationships and creating opportunities
  • You are known for expertise in enterprise level GCP project work, with deep knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, Anthos, Helm and Terraform
  • Your technical background includes leading enterprise-level cloud migration, app modernization, and platform initiatives
  • You are familiar with DevSecOps, GitOps, CI/CD workflows, and modern delivery governance frameworks

 

Great to haves:

 

We are especially motivated to connect with individuals with one or more of the following:

 

  • University degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field; Master's degree even better
  • Google Cloud certification (e.g., Professional Cloud Architect or DevOps Engineer)
  • Hashicorp Terraform Associate/Professional certification
  • Certified Kubernetes Administrator
  • Professional Cloud Architect certification
  • Consulting, Services Partner or Professional Services experience

 

 
Salary Range:  $250,000 - $300,000
