Celerity is an agile risk optimization company that helps public utility organizations convert complex data into precision, actionable intelligence to mitigate risk, optimize assets and maximize project results.

Celerity Consulting Group’s Business Integration Services (BIS) team is an integral part of our Utility Technology Consulting practice, helping regulated utilities bridge the gap between people, processes, technology, and data. We deliver program strategy, business systems integration, technology system consulting, and data management that optimize utility operations across asset and work management, mobile applications, ERP environments, governance/risk/compliance, and cloud data platforms.

We are hiring a Managing Consultant with 10+ years of consulting experience to lead client delivery and contribute to practice growth. This role blends hands‑on project leadership with practice enablement: shaping SOWs and RFP responses, building GTM assets, developing delivery methodologies, mentoring and managing consultants, and ensuring high‑quality outcomes across BIS engagements.

• Client Delivery and Project Leadership

    Program Strategy, Business Systems Integration, Technology System Consulting, and Data Management.

  • Drive work‑management process improvements, technology deployment strategies, and organizational change management with a focus on adoption and outcomes.
  • Oversee technology assessments and decision frameworks, ERP/EAM evaluations, and audits/benchmarking; guide mobile/web app solutioning with engineering partners.
  • Lead data‑focused initiatives: analysis/cleanup, digitization, classification/modeling, integration/deployment, and archiving strategy.
• Practice Development and Methodology
  • Develop BIS delivery playbooks, templates, and standards for discovery, solution design, change management, testing, cutover, and post‑implementation support.
  • Codify decision frameworks, system/process workflows, and continuous improvement methods aligned to Celerity’s utility expertise.
  • Establish governance mechanisms and GRC alignment for complex, multi‑stakeholder programs.
  • Assist with candidate interviews and provide directional guidance and assessment/alignment analysis to the role.
• RFPs, SOWs, and GTM Materials
  • Own and contribute to RFP responses: solution approach, delivery methodology, resourcing, assumptions, and pricing in partnership with sales/finance.
  • Create GTM assets, including capability decks, case studies, solution one‑pagers, and thought leadership aligned to BIS offerings and utility market needs.
  • Support pursuits by running discovery workshops, building roadmaps, and presenting to executive stakeholders.
• Portfolio, Financials, and Quality
  • Manage a small portfolio of engagements; track scope, margin, staffing, risks, and dependencies; institute remediation plans proactively.
  • Ensure quality assurance through stage‑gates, peer reviews, and metrics‑based performance reporting.
• People Leadership and Talent Development
  • Manage, coach, and grow consultants and analysts; drive skills development across integration, data, OCM, and utility domain knowledge.
  • Participate in hiring and onboarding; define role expectations, career paths, and performance feedback rhythms.
• Stakeholder and Change Leadership
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to client sponsors and cross‑functional leaders; facilitate alignment across IT, operations, and field teams.
  • Design and execute change management plans, training, and communications to drive adoption and measurable behavior change.
• Thought Leadership and Market Sensing
  • Monitor utility industry trends, regulatory dynamics, and platform ecosystems; translate insights into service offerings and GTM messaging.
