About this role

Capability Architect

• Performance Consulting | Onsite
• Princeton, NJ | Open to local US-based candidates only

Logistics

This is a full-time, fully onsite role based in Princeton, NJ, with travel to client sites as needed. Candidates must live within commuting distance of Princeton or be willing to relocate. This is not a remote or hybrid position.

About the Role

We're hiring a Capability Architect to embed inside client organizations and run a complete capability-development cycle: define the skill gap, build a targeted solution, support practice in the flow of work, and measure the result with a number a CFO would sign off on. You won't hand off a deck and walk away. You'll own the outcome.

This is a solo-practitioner role to start. You'll run your first engagement independently, then help train the practitioners who join after you.

What you'll do

• Embed with a client team and diagnose real performance problems, not just training requests
• Run capability-gap analyses and translate business problems into measurable proficiency targets
• Own the full cycle: baseline, build, practice, measure, adapt
• Design learning interventions (programs, job aids, workflow tools), using AI tools to move faster
• Work alongside the client's existing L&D team as a partner, and leave it stronger than you found it
• Build credibility with director-level business stakeholders, not just L&D contacts
