CONTRACT
  • TERMS: contract

For our direct client in Norwalk, CT we seek a senior consultant to support a major systems modernization program.  Following completion of Phases 1 and 2, the client is conducting a structured “lessons learned” and current-state operating assessment to identify process breakdowns, clarify ownership, and make the right adjustments before moving forward with the next Phase.   We seek an experienced professional-services-type consultant for this on-site engagement (4 days/week onsite near Norwalk, CT)

Key Responsibilities

  • Embed onsite with the team and facilitate high-impact discovery sessions

  • Connect process findings to modernization goals, highlighting where process change is the primary lever

  • Synthesize findings into a clear, actionable set of recommendations for Phase 3

Desired Background

  • Strong facilitation and stakeholder management skills across business + IT

  • Experience in complex, multi-step environments involving both manual and system-driven workflows
