Job description
We are seeking a Managing Director, Technology Strategy & Transformation to lead and grow our presence within the heart of the Puget Sound technology ecosystem.

The region has the second-largest tech workforce in the U.S. and one of the strongest clusters of AI-specialized talent nationally.
This creates a unique opportunity for transformational consulting that aligns technology strategy with business outcomes — and a competitive market for leaders who can engage and grow relationships within this unique landscape.
