Associate Director, Product Software and Transformation

• Experience operating at a level comparable to a high-performing consulting Engagement Manager, Project Leader, Associate Director or Senior Consultant, with a track record of leading complex client engagements.
• A strong consulting toolkit, ideally developed in a leading strategy, digital or transformation consultancy, or through comparable experience in high-stakes advisory or transformation environments.
• Proven ability to take ambiguous problems, impose structure, develop hypotheses, drive rigorous analysis, manage teams and translate findings into a clear executive storyline.
• Meaningful functional depth in one or more of transformation, product, software delivery, operating model design, technology strategy or technology architecture.
• Strong commercial and financial acumen, including the ability to size opportunities, build business cases, quantify benefits, understand investment needs and evaluate strategic trade-offs.
• Credibility with senior executives and functional leaders, including CEOs, CFOs, CTOs, CPOs and leaders across product, engineering, architecture and transformation.
• Confidence operating at the intersection of business strategy, product, software and technology, with enough domain understanding to ask the right questions and challenge the quality of recommendations.
• A hands-on leadership style: senior enough to build confidence with executives, while close enough to the work to guide analysis, challenge team thinking and personally shape the storyline.
• A practical, action-oriented mindset aligned with Crosslake’s values of service, curiosity, credibility, commitment and creativity.
