About the Role
Lead coordination across sales, architects, consulting, and delivery teams to ensure complex consulting and delivery programs succeed, from pre-sales through initial delivery. Ensure the solution is well-scoped and deliverable, commitments in the Statement of Work are clear, dependencies and risks are managed early, and the program launches with a strong start and stays on track. This role is for leaders who thrive on complexity, enjoy bringing teams and technologies together, and want to be accountable for getting large modernization programs off to a successful start.
Responsibilities

- Lead technical solution management, including scoping, proof-of-concept (PoC) framing, assumptions, dependencies, baselining, and delivery readiness.
- Own or contribute to SoW creation and review, with clear deliverables, acceptance criteria, and execution model, so that what is sold is what can be delivered.
- Guide the transition from pre-sales to delivery, and stay engaged through initial delivery to confirm early milestones are met and the program is on track.
- Orchestrate complex, multi-tower programs
- Coordinate cross-tower teams, delivery plans, dependencies, risks, and mitigation actions across the modernization landscape.
- Stitch together a single, optimized modernization solution that spans domains such as application modernization, cloud migration and modernization, mainframe modernization, and network & edge modernization.
- Drive modernization execution across subdomains such as application management services (AMS), SDLC transformation, AppMod, Mainframe Mod, Platform Engineering, Data Center Networks, and Edge Networks.
- Tell the story and bring the tools
- Build and deliver client-facing presentations with strong content, narrative framing, and a clear value proposition.
- Apply agentic AI capabilities and proven modernization playbooks to strengthen execution and outcomes.
Requirements
- 5 years experience coordinating or leading complex, large-scale modernization programs, from pre-sales and solutioning through delivery.
- 5 years experience with broad modernization expertise across applications, cloud, mainframe, and network & edge, and the ability to unify multiple solution components into a single client solution.
- Ability to consolidate and integrate technical solutions across towers into a cohesive modernization program.
- Strong hands-on technical solution leadership, including scoping and PoC framing; assumptions, dependencies, and baselining; and SoW creation and review.
- Strong client communication and presentation skills, including content creation, narrative framing, storytelling, and value proposition articulation.
- Experience applying AI-enabled tools and repeatable modernization frameworks to shape or run modernization execution.
- Experience with large, strategic deals and their delivery, including complex stakeholder management and governance.
- Experience running modernization in hybrid estates that involve multiple platforms and cross-tower execution (for example, mainframe, distributed, cloud, and network/security).
- A track record of driving risk management, dependency orchestration, and delivery predictability at scale.
- You’re a leader who brings clarity to complexity and builds trust across sales, consulting, and delivery teams.
- You put customer success first and work openly, collaboratively, and inclusively across teams and towers.
