• Translate ambiguous, high‑impact challenges into structured delivery strategies, operating models, and execution plans.
• Manage cross‑functional teams including business, product, technology, operations, vendors, and executive stakeholders.
• Oversee multiple concurrent projects, portfolios, or enterprise‑wide transformation programs.
• Partner with senior client leaders to define success metrics, decision frameworks, and scalable ways of working.
• Manage interdependencies, risks, constraints, prioritization, trade‑offs, and delivery decisions.
• Handle project financials: forecasting, budgeting, and resource planning.
• Establish and scale governance, processes, and delivery standards for consistent, high‑quality outcomes.
• Apply and scale delivery methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid) based on client context and maturity.
• Leverage delivery tools and AI‑enabled capabilities (e.g., Jira, MS Project, Planner, Smartsheet) for planning, backlog management, reporting, and decision‑making.
• Mentor teams, influence stakeholders, and drive organizational alignment.

What You’ll Bring

• 8+ years of consulting experience leading technology projects and business transformation initiatives (Senior Project Manager, Program Manager, Senior Business Analyst, or Delivery Lead).
• Advanced knowledge of Agile, Scrum, SAFe, Waterfall, and hybrid delivery methodologies.
• Strong understanding of AI concepts and hands‑on experience with AI‑enabled solutions, intelligent automation, machine learning, advanced analytics, or digital transformation platforms.
• Deep knowledge of the full project and software development lifecycle—from strategy and business case development through implementation and operational transition.
• Solid technical foundation across enterprise applications, software development practices, cloud technologies, integrations, and IT infrastructure.
• Technical fluency with modern software engineering practices, including AI‑assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT/Copilot), VS Code, GitHub, source control workflows, and CI/CD concepts.
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field; certifications such as CSM, PMP, CBAP, or scaled‑agile preferred.
