• Mentor consultants and delivery leads, and contribute to the growth of Slalom’s delivery frameworks and practices.

• 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.
