About the role

  • CompassX is a boutique business and technology consulting firm.
  • This isn't a traditional Project Manager role.
  • You'll be trusted to shape what gets built, not just track when it ships.

Responsibilities

  • Act as the primary, trusted face of CompassX to senior client stakeholders - building the kind of credibility that gets you invited into the room before a problem is even fully defined
  • Lead executive-level conversations that turn ambiguous business challenges into a clear, actionable solution direction
  • Build consensus across stakeholder groups with competing priorities, and know how to navigate organizational dynamics without losing momentum
  • Solution Design & Ownership
  • Own the design of the solution itself - not just the plan to deliver it. Shape the approach, validate it technically, and defend it under scrutiny
  • Partner closely with architects, engineers, and data/AI practitioners to ensure the technical approach holds up, while remaining the accountable owner of the overall solution
  • Bring enough fluency in delivery fundamentals - Agile, UAT, data validation - to keep a workstream credible, with support from delivery specialists as needed
  • Own the design of the solution itself - not just the plan to deliver it.
  • Shape the approach, validate it technically, and defend it under scrutiny
  • Our consultants say CompassX is a place where they can truly find their own path.

Nice to have

  • This is not a scrum-master or backlog-management role
  • delivery mechanics are a "nice to have," not the job

Compensation

  • $130k-$180k

Company info

  • Drive process improvement and "ways of working" recommendations as part of the solution, not as an afterthought
  • Use AI as part of your own working style (research, synthesis, solutioning), modeling the kind of modern practice CompassX brings to clients
  • As part of a smaller firm, they see the impact of their work, have an identity, and know their voice matters.
  • We are honored to be recognized as a three-time winner of Consulting Magazine's Best Boutique Firms to Work For, and previously recognized as a "Best Place to Work" in Southern California and one of INC.'s 5000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. We're looking for a Solution Owner (Data, Technology & AI) to be the face of CompassX on a complex, high-visibility client engagement.
