Project Management Senior Consultant

Do you keep projects and tasks moving, align stakeholders, and drive crisp decisions and follow-through-turning priorities into measurable progress? Can you juggle a dozen competing priorities and still translate them into a clear plan-fast? Are you tech-savvy and innovation-minded-able to spot opportunities to streamline work, improve visibility, and modernize how teams operate using tools and automation? If so, the Project Management Senior Consultant role supporting the Government & Public Services (GPS) Office of the Chief Operating Officer (OCOO) might be for you.

The Project Management Senior Consultant advances priority initiatives through disciplined execution, cross-functional coordination, and exceptional communications. This role is ideal for someone who can quickly synthesize complex inputs into concise leadership-ready briefings, manage multiple concurrent priorities, and operate independently in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift frequently-while also bringing a tech-forward, innovative approach to improving operational effectiveness. On any given assignment, the Project Management Senior Consultant may be responsible for the following activities:

• Develop executive-ready materials (briefings, talking points, leadership readouts, meeting agendas, and written updates) aligned to OCOO objectives and voice.
• Synthesize complex and ambiguous inputs into clear "what / so-what / now-what" messages for senior audiences.
• Create and refine executive-level presentations, including storyboarding, structuring key messages, and producing polished decks under tight timelines.
• Leverage tools (e.g., advanced PowerPoint features, collaboration platforms, and emerging GenAI-enabled workflows where appropriate) to accelerate drafting, improve clarity, and increase consistency-without sacrificing accuracy or discretion.

• Support multiple OCOO initiatives by building workplans, tracking milestones, and driving follow-through with stakeholders.
• Maintain action trackers, decision logs, and next steps to ensure momentum and accountability.

• Introduce innovative ways of working (templates, lightweight automation, dashboards, standard work) to reduce friction, improve throughput, and increase transparency across work streams.

• Coordinate across teams to gather inputs, manage dependencies, align deliverables, and surface risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations.
• Drive clarity on owners, timelines, and expectations to keep work moving.
• Act as a catalyst for continuous improvement-identifying recurring bottlenecks and proposing tech-enabled solutions that strengthen coordination and governance.

• Triage competing requests, pivot quickly as priorities change, and maintain quality under pressure.
• Own deliverables end-to-end with minimal direction: clarify the ask, propose an approach, deliver, and incorporate feedback rapidly.
• Demonstrate comfort learning new tools quickly and experimenting with better approaches-balancing innovation with practicality, security, and stakeholder needs.
