• Partner with executive and functional stakeholders to facilitate decision making, build alignment, and maintain momentum across complex transformation initiatives.
• Drive coordination across business, technology, vendor, and system integrator teams to resolve dependencies, manage delivery risks, and achieve successful client outcomes.
• Identify emerging risks, challenge assumptions, elevate issues when appropriate, and develop practical recommendations to keep programs on track.
• Facilitate executive and working sessions, synthesize complex information, and develop clear, data‑driven recommendations and executive‑ready communications.
• Support enterprise technology initiatives, including ERP, CRM, HCM, cloud, digital, and other large-scale transformation programs.
• Contribute to proposals, client pursuits, and solution development by translating client challenges into practical approaches and delivery strategies.
• Develop reusable methodologies, tools, and templates that strengthen CIO Advisory capabilities and improve delivery quality.
• Mentor junior consultants, contribute to recruiting and onboarding efforts, and actively support practice development initiatives.
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate analysis, synthesize complex information, and support data‑driven recommendations for clients, exercising sound judgment in evaluating outputs.
• Apply AI technologies (e.g., generative AI, automation tools, data models) to enhance insights, improve delivery efficiency, and elevate the quality of client outcomes.

What You Will Bring

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.
• 4+ years of consulting experience with a leading consulting or professional services organization supporting enterprise technology transformation initiatives.
• Experience leading consulting workstreams within complex technology transformation programs involving multiple stakeholders, workstreams, and delivery partners.
• Experience working alongside system integrators and distributed delivery teams within enterprise implementation programs.
• Experience supporting enterprise systems implementations such as ERP, CRM, HCM, cloud, or other technology‑enabled business transformations.
• Strong consulting, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence decisions, navigate ambiguity, and build trusted client relationships.
• Ability to think critically, structure ambiguous problems, and develop practical recommendations that balance business objectives with execution realities.
• Knowledge of delivery methodologies including Agile, Scrum, SAFe, waterfall, iterative delivery, or PMI‑based approaches.
• Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, with experience developing executive‑level presentations and client‑facing deliverables.
• Experience integrating AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) into day‑to‑day workflows to enhance productivity and insight generation, coupled with strong critical thinking to assess accuracy, mitigate bias, and ensure high‑quality outputs.
• Ability to travel 25 to 50%.
• A commitment to inclusion and diversity, and openness to new ideas and perspectives.
