Principal Consultant - Digital

Overview

At Alphero, we’ve spent the last 14 years creating and delivering some of New Zealand’s most epic digital programmes and services. These days you’ll find us teaming up with wonderful clients in media, finance, health, energy, government and more. Helping them make sense of the craziness out there, reimagine digital products and services for this emerging ‘intelligent’ world, and produce outcomes that actually matter to their customers.

Our Auckland crew have a lot on their plates, and we’re looking for a Principal Consultant – Digital to work closely with our Auckland director, and help lead the charge. This is a rare gig — our senior team is super stable, so it’s not often a role like this comes up.

We’re after a bit of a unicorn. Someone who’s both strategic and delivery-minded : you can sketch the big picture and set a course to the “north star”, while also rolling up your sleeves to make sure the plan actually happens. You’ll bring curiosity and imagination to help clients invent their digital future — and the pragmatism to turn that vision into real, working products and services.

In short : you’ll help shape the promise, then make sure we deliver on it.

Responsibilities

• Delivery Leadership and Client Commitments

You’ll make sure we keep our promises. Sometimes that means running an engagement yourself (especially the chunky or strategic ones), sometimes it means backing our PMs and leads so they’ve got delivery risk under control. You’ll assemble the right mix of Alphero magic — design, dev, QA, strategy, consulting — and make sure the team is humming. Clients should feel confident, clear, and excited about the road ahead.

You’ll help clients see beyond outputs to outcomes. You’ll reframe problems, shape engagement strategies, and show how digital creates long-term value. You’ll balance big-picture vision with delivery detail, keeping projects grounded but future-focused.

You’ll partner with our Auckland Director to look after a portfolio of clients — being the face of Alphero to senior leaders. You’ll build deep, multi-layered trust, and help clients look beyond today’s project to the bigger journey. You’ll bring entrepreneurial energy, an eye for opportunities, and a knack for creating safe spaces where invention can happen inside real-world constraints.

At Alphero, our brand pillars run through everything we do : Inventive, Emotive and Brave. You’ll embody these in your work and inspire the same in the team around you.
