In this role, you’ll operate at the intersection of strategy, delivery, and client leadership. You’ll shape the path forward, manage senior stakeholder relationships, guide delivery teams, identify risks before they become issues, and keep complex initiatives connected to business value.

You do not need to be the deepest technical expert in the room, but you should be able to understand business and technology tradeoffs, guide conversations across disciplines, and help clients make practical decisions. You should also be comfortable leading teams, managing senior stakeholders, and shaping work in a way that creates lasting value.
