Job Description
Senior Project Management Consultant with experience in technology implementations at CompassX. Leading complex technology programs and achieving delivery outcomes in a boutique consulting firm.
Responsibilities:
- Shadow and learn the existing transformation approach directly from the lead consultant on-site, then take it to new plants independently
- Coach plant leadership and floor teams on ways of working and leveraging new technology - sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, backlog management - adapted for a manufacturing environment
- Facilitate ceremonies and working sessions that build team ownership rather than dependency on the coach
- Identify and remove process bottlenecks, handoff friction, and waste on the floor and in cross-functional workflows
- Coach team leads and site managers individually on mindset shifts, not just process mechanics
- Drive adoption of new ways of working across plant teams, including change-resistant stakeholders
- Track and report transformation health metrics (velocity, adoption indicators, team maturity) back to the lead consultant
- Provide "white glove" follow-up support post-implementation to ensure the change sticks rather than reverting once the coach moves to the next site
- Help build local capability so plants can self-sustain the new way of working over time
- Travel extensively between plant locations - expect frequent domestic and Americas-region travel, with potential for wider international travel (EMEA/APAC).
- Implement what's already working rather than introducing a new methodology - this is execution of an existing playbook, not a from-scratch transformation design
- Report progress and roadblocks back to the lead consultant and adjust delivery based on direction given
Requirements:
- Background in agile ways of working, backed up by relevant certifications and experience. Shaped by time in product or software development rather than a career built solely around agile-transformation consulting
- Experience of the shift from traditional to agile delivery firsthand — not someone who's only ever coached agile from the outside
- Hands-on facilitation experience: running ceremonies, coaching teams through resistance, translating agile principles into a non-software environment
- Comfortable taking direction and executing rather than driving your own strategic agenda — this is a "lieutenant," not a chief. You're here to implement a working playbook, not redesign it
- Manufacturing exposure is a plus, not a requirement
- Easygoing, likable, low-ego - someone teams want to work with, not someone who clashes with existing leadership
- Willingness to travel extensively and frequently, including potential international travel
- US passport required
Benefits:
- Travel/expenses covered when travelling to client sites
