Join a growing consulting company that is fun, flexible and passionate about helping our clients (some of the world's most recognizable brands) define and realize business benefits through strategy, research, best practices, process improvements, and tools.
As a Consulting Project Manager, you will be a key partner in delivering large scale transformation programs.
You will play a crucial role in tracking project timelines, managing budgets, monitoring scope, and keeping detailed records of risks, issues, and decisions. Your ability to consolidate status reports across multiple workstreams, capture critical meeting notes, and ensure action items are executed will keep the project on track and aligned with business objectives.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support the senior program manager in coordinating workplans and consolidating status across multiple project workstreams.
- Attend project meetings to capture meeting notes, action items, decisions, and next steps.
- Maintain program documentation, including timelines, budgets, scope, change control, risks, issues, and decisions.
- Regularly report on program progress and provide insights for informed decision-making.
- Utilize tools such as Excel, MS Project, JIRA, Azuer DevOps, SharePoint, Teams, and PowerPoint to manage and present program data.
The ideal candidate is someone with consulting and large cross functional program experience who thrives in a fast-paced, flexible, and collaborative environment. They are highly organized, have exceptional attention to detail, and are comfortable juggling multiple priorities. They are comfortable and confident with executive level communication skills and they're adept at collaborating with both internal teams and client stakeholders across all levels of the organization.
Core Skills and Experience:
- Comfortable stepping into loosely defined situations, rapidly assessing the landscape, identifying what matters most, and creating clarity and direction for clients and internal teams.
- Able to facilitate alignment across diverse stakeholders, uncover root issues, and help clients move forward with confidence when timelines are tight and information is incomplete.
- Understands when to apply structure and when to flex. Can build plans, manage budgets, and track deliverables, while also navigating the strategic “gray areas” typical of transformation programs.
- Combines analytical thinking with innovative approaches to remove obstacles, uncover risks, and design practical solutions that deliver measurable outcomes.
- Builds trust quickly, listens deeply, anticipates client needs, and proactively looks for ways to add value beyond the immediate scope.
- Skilled at influencing without ego. Communicates clearly, synthesizes complex ideas simply, and creates an environment where cross-functional teams feel supported and heard.
- Understands how to balance competing priorities, manage scope, and drive accountability across multiple workstreams and vendors.
- Actively pursues learning, seeks feedback, stays curious, and takes ownership of expanding skills that benefit both clients and the firm.
- Able to coordinate across product, IT, operations, finance, and leadership teams to keep programs moving and aligned.
