  • Partner closely with technical delivery leads, architects, and engineers to ensure delivery aligns to business goals and measurable value.
  • Own engagement financials including budget, burn, margins, forecasting, utilization, and change control; proactively manage risk and variances using delivery metrics.
  • Build strong, trust-based relationships with senior client, partner, and technical stakeholders, providing concise status updates and executive-ready storytelling.
  • Navigate ambiguity, competing priorities, and difficult trade-offs with calm, data-informed recommendations.
  • Manage project risks and customer escalations end-to-end in close partnership with delivery and sales.
  • Identify opportunities to expand phData services, including AI and analytics offerings, within existing accounts.
  • Provide account health readouts covering financials, project status, AI adoption metrics, and key blockers.
  • Help shape a healthy, inclusive delivery culture by coaching Project Managers and consultants, and contributing to the evolution of AI-augmented delivery practices.
