You will own Lyric deployment workstreams end-to-end for one of the company's largest enterprise engagements, from planning through go-live.

Up to 30% travel is expected, primarily within the US. REQUIREMENTS: - 3–7+ years of experience, ideally as a senior consultant at a large systems integrator, building, connecting, and managing technology systems - Comfortable owning a workstream hands-on: running meetings independently, building project plans, and driving toward a timeline - Supply chain consulting background preferred; oil & gas industry experience is a plus but not required - Adept program and project management skills - High energy, high agency, and comfortable navigating large, complex client organizations - Strong communication skills, especially with engineers and experienced, non-technical, operator-type audiences - SQL/Python familiarity is a plus
