Principal Strategy, Technical Product Management

Location: Richmond, VA or Nashville, TN

Lead. Innovate. Grow. Make an Impact.

At UDig, strategy starts with listening — deeply understanding context, needs, and goals before moving quickly to shape and test solutions. As a Principal Consultant, you’ll work directly with clients to uncover insight, rapidly iterate business and technology strategies, and help teams move forward with clarity and confidence.

You’ll be part of a strategy team grounded in service blueprinting and focused on enabling clients to adopt solutions that are adopted, used, and provide real business impact. This is a role for someone who leads with curiosity, translates listening into action, and drives strategy all the way through to execution.

Here’s why top consultants choose UDig:

• Competitive Compensation – Strong salary, performance-based bonuses, and career progression.
• Comprehensive Benefits – PTO, parental leave, 401(k) match, health, dental, vision benefits and more!

What You’ll Do:

• Assist in the creation of custom solutions tailored to the unique aspects of client culture, ensuring seamless adoption.
• Design and create compelling prototypes or proof-of-concepts (POCs) that illustrate the solution's impact and effectively deliver the technical story to stakeholders.
• Make recommendations on product feature prioritization, based on client and product knowledge, while upholding project timelines/resource plans.
• Go beyond the explicit client requests to infer underlying needs by understanding business context, market trends, and industry knowledge, proactively positioning the firm as a thought leader.
• Consistently overcome complex organizational obstacles to slowly, but persistently, drive meaningful maturity within client environments.

What You’ll Bring:

• 8 years of experience with a strong background in software engineering, UI/UX design, or a related technical discipline to build credibility amongst stakeholders.
• Ability to build a sufficient preliminary solution for clients to drive home pre-sales initiatives, then pass off structured solution plans to internal technical teams to help drive home the vision of the work.
• Demonstrated ability to negotiate needs between IT and the business to build/maintain strong stakeholder relationships, ensuring UDig is prioritizing work appropriately day to day based on the needs of the client and the needs of the product.
• Prior professional experience within a technology consulting firm is required, with a proven track record of career progression.
• Bachelor's degree in a technical field (Computer Science, Engineering, etc.) or significant professional experience in Software Engineering/Development or UI/UX Design is strongly preferred.
