You’ll join a community of delivery professionals who thrive in complexity and are passionate about making things happen. Our teams lead high-impact initiatives across industries, partnering with clients to navigate ambiguity, align stakeholders, and deliver results that matter. Whether it’s a multi-workstream transformation or a product launch, we bring clarity, structure, and momentum to every engagement.

We work shoulder-to-shoulder with clients, tailoring delivery approaches to meet them where they are—whether Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid. Our focus is on enabling predictable, repeatable outcomes that help organizations dream bigger, move faster, and build better tomorrows.

What You’ll Do

• Lead complex, high-impact client initiatives across industries, ensuring alignment with business goals and measurable outcomes.

• Facilitate discovery sessions, stakeholder interviews, and working sessions to shape direction and maintain alignment.
• Apply agile methodologies to accelerate delivery, foster collaboration, and adapt to evolving needs.
• Use AI-powered tools and techniques (e.g., predictive analytics for forecasting, automation for reporting, generative AI for documentation) to improve speed, quality, and decision-making.
• Support the sales lifecycle by scoping opportunities, developing delivery approaches, and contributing to proposals while selling delivery capabilities and outcomes.
• Mentor consultants and delivery leads, and contribute to the growth of Slalom’s delivery frameworks and practices.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience selling professional services, including shaping solutions, partnering with sales teams, and influencing decision-makers throughout the deal cycle.
• Strong experience in stakeholder management, project, product, and program management, and delivery leadership in consulting environments.
• Proven success in leading and delivering complex initiatives across industries in technology platforms.
• Strong knowledge of delivery frameworks (e.g., Agile, SAFe, Lean, PMBOK) and ability to apply them pragmatically.
• Experience leading large, cross-functional teams with accountability for delivery quality, client satisfaction, and financial outcomes (revenue, utilization, margin, profitability).
• Track record of supporting pursuits and contributing to the sales lifecycle, including solutioning, scoping, and estimation.
• Skilled in anticipating risks, managing dependencies, adapting plans, and driving alignment with stakeholders.
• Hands-on experience with modern delivery practices, including agile ceremonies, backlog management, and scaled frameworks.
• Experience managing engagements under different contractual structures.
• Strong business acumen, executive communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
