• Manage the software and vendor renewal lifecycle, maintaining a proactive calendar for contract reviews, negotiations, evaluations, and renewal decisions.
• Lead structured product and technology evaluations, including requirements gathering, vendor comparisons, cost-benefit analysis, and rollout recommendations.
• Support internal system audits and annual IT policy updates, coordinating stakeholders, documenting findings, closing control gaps, and keeping governance practices current.
• Provide tactical operational and IT support, including access provisioning, ticket triage, and tool onboarding, while keeping these activities appropriately balanced with broader strategic responsibilities.

Requirements

• 3–6+ years of experience in management consulting and/or technology consulting operations, with a strong understanding of how consulting organizations manage resources, utilization, timesheets, budgets, milestones, project systems, and talent development.
• Demonstrated ability to design, document, optimize, and implement business processes that improve operational efficiency and organizational performance.
• Strong project and program management skills, with the ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously, establish priorities, coordinate dependencies, and deliver on schedule.
• Technical versatility and hands-on experience configuring, administering, troubleshooting, or optimizing enterprise SaaS and business platforms.
• Experience with platforms such as Salesforce, Okta, 1Password, CrowdStrike, Google Workspace, Asana, Claude, Gemini, or comparable technologies is strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of IT security and compliance fundamentals, including access management, penetration testing, data retention, governance, and risk management.
• Experience managing technology vendors and product lifecycles, including requirements gathering, evaluations, contract renewals, cost analysis, and implementation recommendations.
• Strong business judgment, with the ability to independently assess risks, make informed decisions, and recognize when escalation is appropriate.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts into clear business recommendations for leadership.
• Experience building or supporting AI-driven or agentic workflows is a strong advantage.
