We're looking for a Senior Project Management Consultant who's built their career running technology implementations - and is ready to bring that experience to bear in a boutique consulting environment where you'll have real ownership over delivery outcomes.
At CompassX, PMs aren't coordinators. You'll drive complex, multi-workstream technology programs in demanding enterprise environments, working directly with senior client stakeholders and cross-functional delivery teams. The work spans digital transformation, data platform rollouts, enterprise system implementations, and AI-enabled modernization programs.
A secondary skill that complements project delivery - business analysis, change management, process design, or technical fluency - is a meaningful differentiator here.
What You'll DoOwn Program Delivery: Lead end-to-end delivery of complex technology implementation programs - scope, schedule, budget, risk, and stakeholder alignment across the full lifecycle.
Drive Cross-Functional Coordination: Keep delivery teams - engineers, architects, designers, business stakeholders - aligned, unblocked, and moving. Surface issues early and resolve them before they become escalations.
Manage Senior Stakeholders: Build and maintain trusted relationships with client leadership. Communicate program status clearly, navigate organizational dynamics, and earn standing to push back when needed.
Build and Run the PMO: Stand up project infrastructure: governance cadences, RAID logs, status reporting, decision logs, and change control processes that actually get used.
Flex Into Adjacent Needs: Depending on the engagement, contribute beyond pure PM work - business analysis, requirements facilitation, change management planning, or vendor coordination.
Leverage AI for Delivery: Use AI tools to improve program reporting, risk synthesis, meeting follow-up, and stakeholder communications - and help clients build AI-enabled delivery practices.
What You'll BringTechnology Implementation Experience: 5–10 years managing enterprise technology programs - ERP rollouts, data platform implementations, digital transformation programs, or similar. This is your core.
Consulting Background: Experience in a consulting or professional services context. You know how to onboard quickly, establish credibility, and operate without a lot of hand-holding.
Delivery Rigor: Strong command of program and project management fundamentals - planning, risk management, change control, escalation handling. PMP or equivalent experience welcomed.
Stakeholder Presence: Comfortable presenting to senior client leadership and operating in complex organizational environments. You build trust without needing a title to do it.
Secondary Skill: A complementary capability that strengthens your delivery work: business analysis, process design, change management, data literacy, or technical fluency in the platforms you manage.
AI-Forward Mindset: You use AI tools in your workflow and are curious about how they improve delivery velocity and program outcomes.
Local Presence: Based in LA or Orange County, with the ability to be on-site at client locations in the SoCal area if required.
