We are looking for an operational leader to act as the Chief of Staff for our Delivery organization. As we transition to a new capability-led structure, we need more than just administrative support, we need a decision-maker. In this role, you will serve as the right hand to the Head of Strategy & Delivery, helping run the daily rhythm of the business while driving our most critical internal initiatives. You will partner closely with our Capability Leads (who manage the teams) and Business Operations (who manage the systems & processes) to ensure we are staffing the right people on the right work, maintaining accurate data, and actually adopting the standards we build. You will sit in our Cleveland, OH office on a hybrid schedule. The team is in office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. 

Senior Delivery Operations Manager

What experience should you have:

• Experience: 7+ years in professional services, consulting, or agency operations with a deep understanding of service business metrics (margins, utilization, leverage).
• Skillset: You are fluent in Salesforce/PSA tools and Excel, and possess a strong foundation in Change Management (e.g., ADKAR principles). You know how to build a communication plan, track adoption metrics, and coach teams through new operational behaviors. You can look at a resource forecast and immediately spot what's wrong.
• Mindset: You have high EQ and low ego. You can influence senior leaders who don't report to you, and you aren't afraid to have difficult conversations about data accuracy or staffing conflicts.
• Ambition: You view this role as a stepping stone to senior leadership, not an administrative dead-end.

What you’ll be doing in this role:

• Staffing & Resource Management: You are the human in the loop for our staffing process as we build a smarter machine. While Business Ops provides the data, you help make the final call on assignments. You will work with capability leads to balance client demand with employee career growth, negotiating with Project Managers when resources are tight.
• Operational Rhythm: You own the weekly cadence of the delivery business. This means running our forecast reviews, auditing utilization data, and ensuring our time-tracking hygiene is spotless so our Capability Leads don't have to chase timesheets.
• Strategic Initiatives: We are rolling out the Further Standard: a consistent set of delivery templates and tools. You will act as the Change Manager and Program Lead for this rollout. This means going beyond just project tracking; you will design the adoption strategy, manage stakeholder resistance, and fix friction points to ensure these standards become our daily reality.

Our total rewards program is designed for your protection, peace of mind, and overall well-being. In addition to our outstanding basics, we offer a net-zero cost medical option, company contributions to your HSA, fertility support, fully-paid parental leave, a monthly stipend for your lifestyle spending account, and much more.

Cloud Migration Engineer

You are the engineer clients trust to move their infrastructure to GCP without drama. No data loss, no unplanned downtime, no surprises. You've done this before at production depth — not as a supporting player, but as the person who owned the outcome.Half your work is technical: designing the migration architecture, writing the Terraform that makes it repeatable, and executing the cutover with the discipline that comes from having seen what goes wrong. The other half is client-facing: translating messy real-world infrastructure (legacy systems, undocumented dependencies, nervous stakeholders) into a migration plan that the client can understand and the build team can execute.You use AI to work more efficiently. You don't use it as a substitute for knowing what you're doing. You will sit in our headquarters in Dallas, TX on a hybrid schedule. The team is in office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. 

What experience should you have:

• 8-12 years of cloud engineering experience, with a track record of owning GCP migrations end to end at production depth.
• Proven success migrating production workloads to GCP with no data loss and no unplanned downtime. You can walk us through a migration you owned, what went wrong, and how you handled it.
• Strong Terraform expertise: you write infrastructure as code by default, not as an afterthought.
• Multi-cloud fluency: you understand the source environments clients are migrating from and can map their architecture to GCP equivalents without starting from scratch.
• Consulting or client-facing experience: you can lead a room, manage expectations, and communicate technical risk to people who don't want to hear it.
• Clear, direct written communication: migration plans, runbooks, and handoff docs that someone else can actually use.

Nice to have

• GCP Professional certifications (Cloud Architect, Data Engineer, or equivalent).
• Experience with containerized workloads: GKE, Cloud Run, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with data migration tooling: Database Migration Service, Datastream, Transfer Service.
• Exposure to compliance requirements in migration contexts: data residency, encryption in transit and at rest, audit logging.
• Experience with CI/CD pipeline migration and modernization.

What you’ll be doing in this role:

• Migration architecture and planning: assessing client environments, mapping dependencies, designing the target GCP architecture, and producing a phased migration plan that accounts for real operational constraints.
• Infrastructure as code: writing and maintaining Terraform configurations that make every migration repeatable, auditable, and reversible where it needs to be.
• The cutover: owning the execution of production migrations with zero data loss and no unplanned downtime. You've done this enough times to know where it goes wrong and how to prevent it.
• Client communication: running technical discovery sessions, presenting migration plans to non-technical stakeholders, and keeping clients informed at every phase without burying them in detail.
• Post-migration validation: performance baselines, monitoring setup, and the handoff documentation that means the client isn't dependent on you forever.

Our total rewards program is designed for your protection, peace of mind, and overall well-being. In addition to our outstanding basics, we offer a net-zero cost medical option, company contributions to your HSA, fertility support, fully-paid parental leave, a monthly stipend for your lifestyle spending account, and much more.

Solution Architect

You are the architectural conscience of the platform and the technical translator at the front of every client engagement. Half your week is inside the product — reviewing ADRs, holding integration patterns coherent, and partnering with the data architect and senior dev to keep the architecture honest. The other half is in front of clients — taking real operational complexity and turning it into platform configurations the system can actually execute. You are not a slide architect. You write decisions down, defend them with reasons, and change them when the reasons change. This role only works if you genuinely enjoy both sides. The leverage is in the loop between them — what we learn in deployments shapes the platform, and what the platform enforces shapes how we deploy. You will sit in our headquarters in Dallas, TX on a hybrid schedule. The team is in office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. 

What experience should you have:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 4 explicitly accountable for system architecture — Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, Solution Architect, or equivalent.
• Production experience with multi-tenant SaaS at meaningful scale. You have personally owned tenant isolation decisions and understand the difference between "we have a tenant_id column" and a defensible isolation model.
• Deep experience with event-driven or event-sourced systems in production. You have opinions about idempotency, schema evolution, and the cost of getting either wrong.
• Working fluency in the modern TypeScript/Node ecosystem (NestJS, Next.js, Drizzle, Zod, Postgres, Kafka/Redpanda, Temporal or comparable). You can read the codebase, make changes when it matters, and produce durable architecture artifacts — ADRs, RFCs, decision documents — that someone six months from now can act on.
• Direct experience leading rooms of senior client or executive stakeholders — consulting, enterprise customer engineering, field architecture, or technical pre-sales. You can translate "the engagement is slipping" into a technical control loop and back again.

Nice to have: 

• Background in professional services, agency operations, or management consulting — you understand engagement economics from the inside.
• Observability experience (OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing) at a depth that lets you design for it, not just consume it.
• Architecture decisions on AI-native or LLM-integrated systems — model gateways, agent orchestration, prompt versioning, or evaluation pipelines.
• Experience in compliance-conscious environments (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR) where audit trails and data residency are first-class concerns.
• Public writing, conference talks, or open-source contributions that show how you think.

What you’ll be doing in this role:

• Own the architectural coherence of the platform, ADR backlog, architecture reviews, system shape diagrams, the canonical event envelope, the tenant isolation model. You hold the line on invariants and write down why.
• Define integration patterns for every external system, identity providers, CRMs, project tools, communication systems, AI providers. You decide how we connect, not just whether.
• Build and own client deployment patterns, repeatable playbooks from "first connector" to "first signal" to "first governed action." You author them, run the first few personally, and abstract them into reusable configurations as you go.
• Lead pre-deployment architecture sessions with client technical teams, translating their identity infrastructure, data model, permissions, and compliance posture into a deployment plan the build team can execute.
• Carry the technical narrative externally. You can sit across from a client CTO, walk them through the architecture, defend it under pressure, and adjust where the pressure is legitimate.
• Mentor the founding engineering team on architectural reasoning, not by lecturing, but by showing your work in ADRs, reviews, and the way you make trade-offs visible.

You should not apply if:

• You want to architect from a whiteboard and hand off to others. We write code, we read code, and we ship.
• Client conversations drain you. Half this job is in front of people who don't speak fluent engineering.
• You need consensus before deciding. We move with strong opinions, loosely held — emphasis on strong.

In addition to our outstanding basics, we offer a net-zero cost medical option, company contributions to your HSA, fertility support, fully-paid parental leave, a monthly stipend for your lifestyle spending account, and much more.

People Experience Manager (Recruiting & HR Operations)

Cleveland, OH | Hybrid | Full-Time

WE’RE HIRING! Most HR roles ask you to maintain the machine. This one asks you to help build it.

Further is a data, cloud, and AI company that helps organizations turn raw data into decisions that actually matter. Our clients include Verizon, the American Cancer Society, Behr Paint, and others — and our People team is the engine behind the talent and culture that makes that work possible.

We're looking for a People Experience Lead who's equally running a full-cycle recruiting search and managing HR operations — someone who genuinely wants both halves of this job.

What You’ll Do

On the recruiting side:

• Own the full recruiting lifecycle — from building pipelines and sourcing candidates to closing offers
• Partner directly with hiring managers to understand what they need and challenge assumptions when the search strategy needs a rethink
• Manage and continuously improve our Greenhouse ATS setup
• Make every candidate feel like a person, not a pipeline stage

On the People Operations side:

• Drive onboarding and offboarding experiences that set people up to succeed from day one
• Handle employee relations matters with care, discretion, and sound judgement
• Own HRIS data integrity and help keep our people operations running cleanly
• Support compliance, documentation, and policy work
• Jump in on People team initiatives as our company grows — this role evolves with the business

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of experience in a Recruiting role — hybrid HR/People operations strongly preferred
• Experience in a high technology industry and fast-paced environment. 
• Hands-on experience with an ATS, ideally Greenhouse
• HRIS proficiency — you've owned employee data, not just looked at it
• A working knowledge of HR compliance and the judgment to know when to escalate
• Experience navigating confidential situations with maturity and discretion
• Real AI fluency — you've actually integrated tools like ChatGPT or Copilot into how you work, and it shows
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in a related field

What It’s Like to Work Here

Further is a collaborative, mission-driven company — but we move fast, and we expect people to take initiative. Our People & Culture team is intentionally small, which means your work has a direct impact on how the company grows and how people experience it every day.

You'll be supported by the Head of People & Culture and a junior team member, which means your time goes toward the high-judgment, high-impact stuff. If you've thrived in a larger org but are ready to trade structure for ownership — this is that role.

What won't work here: needing to be told what to do, defaulting to process when the situation calls for judgement, or waiting for someone else to notice a problem.

Why Us

• You'll be on a team that's serious about AI — every role here includes training and expectation around AI tool integration
• You'll have real ownership from the start
• Incredible benefits: Net-zero cost medical option, company HSA contributions, fully-paid parental leave, lifestyle spending account, and more. 

Sound like you? We'd like to hear from you.

We’re located in the Flats East Bank in Cleveland. This role is hybrid — Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday required in office. We do not offer sponsorship for this role.

AI Strategist

This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of business strategy and cutting-edge AI, without being pigeonholed into either. You're not just advising on technology; you're shaping how major enterprise clients think about and invest in AI. From day one, you'll be working across a portfolio of marquee brands, helping them move from curiosity to confidence in their AI strategies.

What makes this role unique is the scope of influence. You'll be the person in the room who listens to business stakeholders, translates their challenges into a clear vision, and then builds the roadmap that actually gets them there. You're the bridge: the one who makes sure AI investments deliver real, measurable value rather than becoming shelf-ware.

This is also a role with staying power. AI strategy is still being defined across industries, and you'd be helping to shape that definition, both externally with clients and internally. 

What experience should you have:

• 10-15 years of experience in strategist or consulting role.
• Deep AI expertise, particularly in a consulting or agency role: ethical AI principles and best practices.
• Ability to articulate complex ideas simply and credibly, and create executive-level presentations.
• AI / Machine Learning / advanced analytics experience in a highly-regulated industry (healthcare, finance, energy, defense).
• Expertise in change management processes and a deep appreciation for its value in enterprise solution adoption.
• Hands-on experience driving adoption of Generative AI solutions in the enterprise 
• Bonus Points: AI governance certification preferred

What you’ll be doing in this role:

• Lead business development activities, including client pitches, creating plans and estimating work. This involves creating trusted partnerships to consistently extend and expand client relationships and engaging with CS and BD to develop new business.
• Identify business outcomes and plan and delegate work to the team to positively impact them and communicate the a clear value proposition/story of our work to the clients
• Infer and communicate the consequences of new information/criteria/realities on specific client ecosystems or scenarios
  Partners with senior clients to identify high-value AI opportunities, build strategic roadmaps for AI adoption, and establish governance mechanisms for AI programs.
• Provide strategic direction to clients and internal teams. They lead major engagements, influence client decision-making and develop innovative approaches that create lasting value for clients.
• Focus, lead and mentor the teams to deliver measurable results.
• Frame AI work around testable hypotheses tied to real business outcomes (revenue, retention, efficiency). 

What you'll need to accomplish in your first year:

• Drive AI Strategy with Clients: Identify high-value AI opportunities within client organizations, build strategic roadmaps for AI adoption, and establish governance mechanisms to ensure AI programs are sustainable and trustworthy, understanding how AI fits into a client's broader ecosystem and decision-making.
• Lead and Grow: Mentor internal teams on AI-related engagements, participate in business development (pitches, scoping, estimating AI work), and help mature the firm's overall AI solution offerings over time.
• Translate Complexity: Act as the interpretive layer between data scientists/technical teams and business stakeholders — communicating consequences of model outputs, new data realities, or AI limitations in terms clients can act on.

Our total rewards program is designed for your protection, peace of mind, and overall well-being. In addition to our outstanding basics, we offer a net-zero cost medical option, company contributions to your HSA, fertility support, fully-paid parental leave, a monthly stipend for your lifestyle spending account, and much more.
