Consulting Director

Consulting Director- New York

Role Summary

The Consulting Director operates as the ultimate Solution Owner and Engagement Lead for a portfolio of data and AI projects. Positioned between our commercial teams (Account Executives/Client Partners) and technical delivery teams, you will take high-level customer opportunities and shape them into concrete, executable project plans.

This role is ideal for a strong program leader who thrives in the data/AI space—acting as "the most technical person of the non-technical team, and the least technical person of the technical team." You will supervise the Delivery Managers running day-to-day operations, ensuring that the initial strategic vision is successfully executed to drive client value and secure recurring revenue.

2. Delivery Supervision & Program Governance

Team Supervision: Directly manage and mentor a team of Delivery Managers who handle day-to-day project management and client communication.

Full SDLC Oversight: Oversee multiple complex workstreams across the data lifecycle (e.g., data warehouse migrations, platform modernizations, agentic AI/LLM implementations).
