Use AI tools to rapidly synthesize meeting notes, interview transcripts, and workshop outputs into structured requirements documents, gap analyses, and decision frameworks, compressing days of manual synthesis into hours
Use AI for project data analysis: identifying risk patterns across workstreams, surfacing schedule dependencies, forecasting resource conflicts, and generating early-warning indicators that inform proactive decision-making
Use AI to accelerate the creation of executive-ready deliverables: status reports, briefing decks, business cases, and analytical artifacts, at a quality and speed that traditional approaches can’t match
Use AI as an analytical partner to pressure-test requirements, validate business process logic, identify specification gaps, and stress-test assumptions before they reach technical teams

Coach and mentor client-side staff to build internal PM and BA capability where applicable
Collaborate with OCM, training, and communications teams to ensure PM and BA outputs support adoption and readiness activities
Identify opportunities to create additional client value throughout the engagement lifecycle, not just fulfill the SOW, but actively look for ways to make the client better

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent professional experience
5+ years of combined experience in project management and business analysis roles, with demonstrated senior-level performance in both functions, not just titles but outcomes you can walk us through
Direct experience supporting or delivering at least one major ERP implementation (Workday, SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, or equivalent)
Workday experience: functional knowledge of one or more Workday modules (HCM, Finance, Payroll, etc.) preferred, with hands-on configuration or testing experience ideal
Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder projects in highly regulated or politically sensitive environments, where the org chart doesn’t tell you who actually makes decisions
Experience facilitating executive-level stakeholder engagement, including steering committees and sponsor briefings
Proficiency in developing business process documentation, requirements artifacts, and gap analysis deliverables that drive action, not shelf-ware
Experience conducting business interviews and leading client workshops at both operational and leadership levels
Active, daily use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) integrated into your PM and BA workflow, not occasional experimentation, but a fundamental part of how you work. You should be able to demonstrate specific examples of how AI has changed your delivery speed, quality, or analytical depth.
Demonstrated ability to use AI for document synthesis, requirements analysis, data pattern recognition, risk identification, and deliverable creation in a professional consulting context
Comfort prompting and directing AI tools effectively. You understand how to get high-quality, contextually appropriate outputs and know the limitations of AI-generated content
Intellectual curiosity and initiative around emerging AI capabilities. Proactively experiment with new tools and bring innovations to your team, not wait for someone to assign them
Strong writing skills: the ability to synthesize complex information into clear, concise deliverables for both technical audiences and executive stakeholders
Hybrid methodology fluency: ability to blend Agile and Waterfall approaches pragmatically based on what the project and client actually need
Proficiency in MS Project or equivalent scheduling tools, including dependency mapping and resource-loaded plans
Professional courage to deliver difficult findings and recommendations with data, grace, and actionable solutions, not just flag problems, but bring answers
