Role overview
Job description
CompassX is a boutique business and technology consulting firm. We help Fortune 500 and high-growth clients deliver their most strategic initiatives, from enterprise transformations to digital and data-driven projects. With over 15 years of proven results, we’ve expanded across industries including financial services, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, consumer products, and quick service restaurants.
We are honored to be recognized as a three-time winner of Consulting Magazine’s Best Boutique Firms to Work For, and previously recognized as a “Best Place to Work” in Southern California and one of INC.’s 5000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.
We are looking for a highly technical Project Manager to drive delivery for a cutting-edge enterprise technology initiative. You will be at the forefront of a fast-paced, high-visibility project focused on delivering real-time data and advanced capabilities for end-users. Working closely with core business operations and technical teams, you will act as the crucial bridge between engineering execution and strategic business goals.
This is a senior delivery role requiring someone who is comfortable diving into technical details, managing complex dependencies, and driving cross-functional alignment in a dynamic consulting environment.
What You'll Do
What You'll Bring
Our consultants say CompassX is a place where they can truly find their own path. As part of a smaller firm, they see the impact of their work, have an identity, and know their voice matters. They value the freedom to take the reins of their careers, shape their client work, and maintain a direct line to leadership.
With CompassX’s focus on serving local Southern California clients, consultants not only build lasting relationships but also see the results of their work in the communities where they live.
At CompassX, you won’t just follow a path - you’ll create one.
Lead Complex Delivery: Drive the end-to-end execution of a high-visibility, real-time technology platform from inception through deployment.
Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner directly with diverse business stakeholders and engineering teams to manage the rapid delivery of complex technology solutions.
Technical Bridge: Act as a highly technical PM, interfacing seamlessly with developers to translate complex business requirements into actionable technical tasks, API specifications, and sprint backlogs.
Agile Orchestration: Facilitate core Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, daily stand-ups, backlog grooming, retrospectives) to ensure predictable delivery cadences.
Risk & Dependency Management: Proactively identify project roadblocks, manage cross-team dependencies, and implement effective mitigation strategies to keep delivery on track.
Executive Reporting: Provide clear, transparent progress updates, milestone tracking, and project health metrics to senior leadership and client sponsors without adding unnecessary administrative overhead.
Proven Technical Delivery: Strong track record (7+ years) of delivering complex custom software, enterprise integrations, or data-driven technology solutions.
Consulting Mindset: Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast-paced, client-facing environment, adapting quickly to new technical landscapes, cultures, and business domains.
Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication skills with the proven ability to build trust and influence both highly technical engineering teams and senior business leaders.
SDLC & Agile Expertise: Deep understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and practical experience actively managing sprint boards and Agile methodologies.
Strategic Problem Solving: Strong analytical skills with the ability to "talk code" with developers while maintaining a focus on the broader business objectives and product vision.
Hybrid Availability: Must be local to Orange County/Southern California and able to work on-site 2-3 days per week at the client site in Irvine.
Contract Readiness: Available immediately for an estimated 6-month consulting engagement (1099/Independent Contractor preferred).
