US GPS ES - Project Management Senior Consultant - KC

Do you keep projects and tasks moving, align stakeholders, and drive crisp decisions and follow-through—turning priorities into measurable progress? Can you juggle a dozen competing priorities and still translate them into a clear plan—fast? Are you tech-savvy and innovation-minded—able to spot opportunities to streamline work, improve visibility, and modernize how teams operate using tools and automation? If so, the Project Management Senior Consultant role supporting the Government & Public Services (GPS) Office of the Chief Operating Officer (OCOO) might be for you.

Work You Will Do

The Project Management Senior Consultant advances priority initiatives through disciplined execution, cross-functional coordination, and exceptional communications. This role is ideal for someone who can quickly synthesize complex inputs into concise leadership-ready briefings, manage multiple concurrent priorities, and operate independently in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift frequently—while also bringing a tech-forward, innovative approach to improving operational effectiveness. On any given assignment, the Project Management Senior Consultant may be responsible for the following activities:

Executive Communications & Briefings

• Develop executive-ready materials (briefings, talking points, leadership readouts, meeting agendas, and written updates) aligned to OCOO objectives and voice.
• Synthesize complex and ambiguous inputs into clear “what / so-what / now-what” messages for senior audiences.
• Create and refine executive-level presentations, including storyboarding, structuring key messages, and producing polished decks under tight timelines.
• Leverage tools (e.g., advanced PowerPoint features, collaboration platforms, and emerging GenAI-enabled workflows where appropriate) to accelerate drafting, improve clarity, and increase consistency—without sacrificing accuracy or discretion.

Initiative and Workstream Execution

• Support multiple OCOO initiatives by building workplans, tracking milestones, and driving follow-through with stakeholders.
• Maintain action trackers, decision logs, and next steps to ensure momentum and accountability.

• Introduce innovative ways of working (templates, lightweight automation, dashboards, standard work) to reduce friction, improve throughput, and increase transparency across workstreams.

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Coordinate across teams to gather inputs, manage dependencies, align deliverables, and surface risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations.
• Drive clarity on owners, timelines, and expectations to keep work moving.
• Act as a catalyst for continuous improvement—identifying recurring bottlenecks and proposing tech-enabled solutions that strengthen coordination and governance.

Prioritization and Independent ownership

• Triage competing requests, pivot quickly as priorities change, and maintain quality under pressure.
• Own deliverables end-to-end with minimal direction: clarify the ask, propose an approach, deliver, and incorporate feedback rapidly.
• Demonstrate comfort learning new tools quickly and experimenting with better approaches—balancing innovation with practicality, security, and stakeholder needs.

The Team

The OCOO is a dynamic, fast-paced team that helps drive and deliver on top GPS priorities. The OCOO supports the GPS Chief Operating Officer (COO), who oversees GPS operations—providing end-to-end finance and operational support across the GPS business. Working at the center of the action, the OCOO connects stakeholders, drives execution against key initiatives, and helps ensure GPS has the operational foundation to perform and grow.
