Position Overview

We are seeking a high-potential Strategic Advisor & Engagement Lead to support the growth and evolution of our Public Sector consulting practice. This individual will serve as both a trusted client advisor and an engagement leader, partnering closely with practice leadership to drive strategic client outcomes, delivery excellence, operational transformation, and practice growth.

This role reports directly to the Director and will play an active role in influencing practice strategy, client growth opportunities, service evolution, and AI-enabled consulting innovation.

The ideal candidate is highly client-facing, influence-oriented, proactive, and entrepreneurial. They should be equally comfortable facilitating strategic discussions with clients, leading delivery execution, managing engagement financials, and helping shape the future direction of the practice.

We are looking for someone who can bridge business and technical conversations, guide implementation teams strategically, solve complex organizational problems, and build trusted relationships with clients and internal teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead strategic advisory engagements with Federal/SLED clients, serving as a trusted advisor and facilitating discovery, planning, alignment, and transformation discussions.
• Oversee client engagement delivery, including timelines, deliverables, risks, budgets, forecasting, staffing needs, communication, and overall engagement health.
• Partner across consulting and technical teams to translate complex business, organizational, and technology challenges into actionable plans and successful delivery outcomes.
• Support practice growth by identifying client needs, expansion opportunities, service improvements, and ways to scale delivery quality and operational effectiveness.
• Explore opportunities to apply AI and emerging technologies to improve consulting delivery, client outcomes, and practice innovation.
• Maintain a 60% utilization target while balancing delivery quality, client satisfaction, and profitability.
