Project Oversight & Delivery Leadership:
- Track and manage project activity across timeline, scope, budget, risks, team capacity, and delivery quality across multiple concurrent engagements; proactively identify delivery trends and prevent issues before they escalate.

- Triage opportunity support requests from Sales; assess delivery approach, project complexity, timeline, staffing, assumptions, and risks to serve as a credible delivery voice in sales cycles.
- Lead scoping efforts by identifying workstreams, resource needs, milestones, dependencies, and risks; improve scoping quality by surfacing gaps early and challenging assumptions.
- Partner with architects and consultants to connect solution design decisions to business outcomes, project feasibility, team capacity, budget, and customer expectations.
- Understand project economics and make delivery recommendations with awareness of budget, margin, utilization, and customer value; balance customer needs, delivery quality, and Plative profitability.
- Identify organic expansion opportunities within existing accounts and surface them to Sales and Practice Leadership.
Team Leadership & Development:
- Hold regular weekly 1:1s with direct reports covering priorities, blockers, feedback, development, workload, and morale; use 1:1s as a meaningful coaching tool to build trust and improve performance.
- Conduct recurring development conversations around goals, growth, skill gaps, and career interests; create clear development plans and help team members grow into larger roles.
- Provide timely, balanced feedback that reinforces strengths and addresses improvement areas; coach with consistency and help team members build both technical and consulting judgment.
- Check in actively on workload, engagement, burnout risk, and team sentiment; build a high-trust, high-accountability team culture where people feel supported and motivated.
- Collaborate with the Central PMO function to assign team members to projects while balancing client needs, utilization, and individual development goals.
- Set clear expectations around delivery quality, communication, utilization, customer presence, and ownership; connect individual expectations to business outcomes and career growth.
- Identify performance concerns early; address them directly with documentation and support, and partner with the People team at the right time.
- Provide specific, thoughtful input into talent planning, performance reviews, promotion readiness, and succession planning.
