About the PositionWe're seeking a
Delivery Excellence & Agile Transformation Leader to strengthen delivery governance across our national digital transformation and PMIS advisory practice, serving mega capital infrastructure construction programs across aviation, ports, rail/transit, transportation, utilities, energy, water, or public works sectors. You'll set the cadence and quality standards that keep large, multi-stakeholder programs on track, translate client priorities into structured delivery plans, escalate risk early, and build the playbooks that let our delivery teams scale.
This is a long-term, full-time, hybrid position located in Phoenix, AZ, and will require approximately 10% travel monthly.
Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Establish and maintain delivery cadence across client engagements, including roadmap planning, milestone tracking, dependency management, and executive-level status reporting.
- Translate client goals and business-process requirements into delivery plans that technical teams can execute and owner stakeholders can track.
- Implement Agile, hybrid, or fit-for-purpose governance models for PMIS, program controls, data, reporting, and change-management initiatives on capital programs.
- Develop delivery playbooks, templates, and acceptance criteria that improve consistency and shorten onboarding for new team members.
- Coordinate advisory, PMIS architecture, data/analytics, and systems integration teams to keep multi-workstream engagements moving with clear accountability.
- Monitor risk, schedule, and budget indicators across active engagements and escalate issues before they affect scope, quality, or client confidence.
- Lead onboarding and knowledge transfer for incoming delivery staff, building methods that scale as the practice grows.
- Contribute delivery approach, governance structure, and staffing plans to proposal and pursuit development.
- Develop white papers and project profiles that document Digital Transformation's impact on client programs, supporting business development and marketing efforts.
Attributes- Owner-side mindset that builds client capability, transparency, and confidence in program data rather than creating dependency on any single vendor or platform.
- Infrastructure credibility rooted in capital programs, public agencies, and the realities of large, multi-stakeholder construction delivery.
- Tool-agnostic judgment, able to work across systems, workflows, and analytics platforms without defaulting to one software answer.
- Executive communication that lands with agency leaders, program executives, primes, and internal leadership alike.
- Builder orientation, comfortable creating structure, playbooks, and repeatable methods as the practice matures.
- Commercial awareness of how delivery quality, team utilization, and consistent execution protect client trust and the practice's ability to take on more work.
Minimum Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, business administration, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- 10+ years of experience in program delivery, project controls, PMIS/digital transformation, or Agile/hybrid delivery governance on mega capital infrastructure construction programs across aviation, ports, rail/transit, transportation, utilities, energy, water, or public works.
- Experience supporting capital infrastructure programs valued at $500M+, including exposure to program controls, PMIS platforms, and alternative delivery methods such as design-build, CM/GC, or progressive design-build.
- Experience leading cross-functional delivery teams spanning advisory, technical, and client-facing roles, including mentoring and onboarding junior staff.
- Working knowledge of public agency procurement, governance, and stakeholder requirements typical of publicly funded infrastructure programs.
- Experience with PMIS, ERP, data/reporting, workflow, or project controls platforms in a capital program environment.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).
Preferred Qualifications- Master's degree in construction management, engineering management, business administration, or public administration.
- PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, SAFe, Lean/Six Sigma, or Prosci certification.
- Experience in owner's representative, program management, or construction management roles on capital infrastructure programs.
- Experience building or maturing a Center of Excellence, including delivery standards, lessons-learned processes, and repeatable methods for a growing practice.
- Experience with GIS, BIM, or digital-twin platforms supporting infrastructure program delivery.
- Experience with Power BI or equivalent data visualization and executive-reporting tools.
