About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead end-to-end delivery of complex technology implementation programs - scope, schedule, budget, risk, and stakeholder alignment across the full lifecycle.
Keep delivery teams - engineers, architects, designers, business stakeholders - aligned, unblocked, and moving. Surface issues early and resolve them before they become escalations.
Build and maintain trusted relationships with client leadership. Communicate program status clearly, navigate organizational dynamics, and earn standing to push back when needed.
Stand up project infrastructure: governance cadences, RAID logs, status reporting, decision logs, and change control processes that actually get used.
Depending on the engagement, contribute beyond pure PM work - business analysis, requirements facilitation, change management planning, or vendor coordination.
Use AI tools to improve program reporting, risk synthesis, meeting follow-up, and stakeholder communications - and help clients build AI-enabled delivery practices.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5–10 years managing enterprise technology programs - ERP rollouts, data platform implementations, digital transformation programs, or similar. This is your core.
Experience in a consulting or professional services context. You know how to onboard quickly, establish credibility, and operate without a lot of hand-holding.
Strong command of program and project management fundamentals - planning, risk management, change control, escalation handling. PMP or equivalent experience welcomed.
Comfortable presenting to senior client leadership and operating in complex organizational environments. You build trust without needing a title to do it.
A complementary capability that strengthens your delivery work: business analysis, process design, change management, data literacy, or technical fluency in the platforms you manage.
You use AI tools in your workflow and are curious about how they improve delivery velocity and program outcomes.
Based in LA or Orange County, with the ability to be on-site at client locations in the SoCal area if required.
