• Contribute at a strategic level within active projects, leading briefings and providing insight-driven guidance to cross-functional teams
• Drive benchmarking and measurement to validate the impact and effectiveness of our work in support of client objectives
• Lead and mentor project teams, fostering collaboration, setting the example for an exceptionally high degree of excellence in strategic vision, craft, and execution

What You’ll Bring:

• 8+ years experience leading program level engagements within a digital agency or consultancy environment
• Growth minded and driven with success selling in 6+ figure engagements to global enterprise organizations
• Experience guiding strategic engagements spanning CX, brand, e-commerce, digital product, software development, and/or new ventures
• Confident in engaging client partners at all levels, able to independently lead negotiation, and skilled in resolving conflicts
• Experience supporting clients in financial services, healthcare, retail and e-commerce, B2B technology, and/or media and entertainment verticals
• Strong analytical skills, able to articulate and communicate data-driven insights
• Leadership qualities and strength in collaboration with cross-functional team members
• Obsessively detail oriented in approach, documentation, and organization
• Comfortable working independently with a can-do attitude towards getting things done
