Job description

Welcome to Sendero. Welcome to How. Few question why an enterprise should better serve customers, make their workforce more productive, or drive growth to new heights. Why can excite and inspire. But why is a reason, not a solution. To make progress and projects possible with tangible business impact, why needs solutions. Why needs how. How is the business we are in.

Sendero consultants improve operations, optimize technology, enhance customer experiences, and advance workforce productivity for our clients.

How do we do it? We see the big picture, know what to do about it, and plan for action. We’re accountable. We roll up our sleeves and get things done. We respect budgets and deadlines. That’s how we make change happen. For our clients and our community.

As a Management Team member at Sendero, you’ll lead and develop team members, oversee all phases of delivery, partner with clients to shape the project scope, and support the firm’s ongoing growth through personal relevance and proposal development.

This role is based in Dallas, Texas. Work arrangements are determined on a client and project basis and will likely vary over time depending on client needs. In general, expect to work a minimum of three days on‑site per week with your team at the client or Sendero office.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead projects, provide guidance to team members (i.e., Sendero, client, third‑party), direct the analysis conducted by team members, and deliver quality results
• Manage all aspects of the project lifecycle: planning, scope definition, design, execution, and delivery
• Determine approach and implement defined solutions through scope management, work‑planning, financials, status reporting, and risk and issue management
• Facilitate meetings with client stakeholders to gather information and insights regarding client problems, provide project status, address issues, and gain consensus
• Manage and develop team members by defining and assigning work, resource planning, and delegating
• Manage team members’ billable hours and ensure alignment with project chargeability requirements to realize expected revenue
• Identify additional needs at current client and collaborate with them to shape operational improvements and solutions, which leads to self/team extensions and/or expansions
• Formulate focus areas for personal relevance development aligned with go‑to‑market strategy to articulate and translate to client needs and business opportunities
• Collaborate with senior leadership on the proposal development process and take ownership of less complex proposals

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Minimum of 5 years of consulting work experience
• Bachelor’s degree
• Consulting project management proficiency (i.e., project planning, status reporting, risk and issue management)
• Experience leading project team(s) to implement client solution(s)
• Experience managing team members
• Proven ability to analyze client problems and develop successful solutions
• Proven ability to communicate (written and verbal) and build relationships with consulting clients and team members
• Passion for proactively delivering value and keeping commitments
