Want to build digital products for the world’s biggest companies? At Punchkick Interactive, we transform our clients into digital product leaders. We do everything in-house—from strategy and design, to development and testing—within a highly collaborative atmosphere. We’re looking for a Principal Consultant to join our team and help our clients build beautiful, easy-to-use, and cutting-edge products.

The Principal Consultant is a critical role at Punchkick responsible for strategy, product ownership, supporting and selling into accounts and managing new business. Our Principal Consultants use their experience and expertise to grow our clients into digital industry leaders, win new business, and manage the vision and execution of product development at Punchkick. The Principal Consultant has empathy for our clients, excellent communication skills, and a passion for products and technology.

This is also a role that is best grown and developed in-house, since it requires extensive knowledge about all things Punchkick—our past, vision for the future, processes, team and clients. Because of this, we expect the hire to complete a 3 to 6-month period of product management, sales shadowing, and helping close new business before becoming an autonomous Principal Consultant.

• Remain a core part of the execution team alongside project managers, developers, and designers throughout the project to ensure clients’ visions and needs are met.

• Generate at least $2.5m in revenue each year through existing and new business sales.

• Manage qualified inbound leads from solution and discovery to close, ultimately owning the account and growing it beyond the first project.

• Find opportunities within account portfolio to grow and create repeat business.

• Manage a portfolio of client projects in different life-cycles of product delivery.

• Work with developers and designers to create user stories, mockups, and prototypes that inform and guide the development efforts.

• Assist marketing with thought leadership including writing blog posts and hosting webinars, attending and speaking at conferences as a subject-matter expert, and facilitating various workshops and working sessions with clients.

• Bring a passion for technology and problem-solving to Punchkick and our clients.
