Assess client readiness and define operating models required to execute complex, technology‑enabled transformations.
Partner with client IT and architecture leaders to ensure alignment between business capabilities, application landscapes, and delivery sequencing.
System Integrator & Vendor Leadership
Lead and govern third‑party system integrators, holding delivery partners accountable for scope, quality, timeline, and outcomes.
Support SI selection, mobilization, and execution, acting as an independent advisor to the client throughout the lifecycle.
Proactively manage delivery risks, dependencies, and executive escalations across vendors.
Engagement & Firm Leadership
Own delivery on engagements of moderate to high complexity, including scope, budget, profitability, team leadership, and client satisfaction.
Partner with ES&E and technology leadership to shape firm strategy, offerings, and go‑to‑market approaches for technology‑enabled transformation.
Collaborate with industry leaders to tailor solutions for priority markets and clients.
Business Development & Thought Leadership
Support Directors and Partners in identifying, shaping and pitching projects to new prospects and existing clients.
Develop SOWs, pricing models, and delivery approaches that balance client value and firm economics.
Contribute to thought leadership through presentations, points of view, and external publications.

Lead, mentor, and develop Managers and Consultants, modeling West Monroe values in client and internal settings.
Serve as a Career Advisor, supporting performance management and professional growth.
Actively participate in recruiting and talent development efforts.

3 full lifecycle major system implementations (e.g. ERP, CRM, HCM) with project/program management roles
5+ years as part of a transformation office overseeing a large portfolio of initiatives and managing value realization
Lead technology workstream for a merger or carve‑out in a moderate‑to‑high complexity transaction.
