[Hiring] Senior Solution Owner (Data, Technology & AI) @CompassX Group

Role Description

We're looking for a Solution Owner (Data, Technology & AI) to be the face of CompassX on a complex, high-visibility client engagement. This isn't a traditional Project Manager role. We need someone who sits with client executives from the earliest conversations - while a solution is still just a problem statement - and stays with it through design, build, and adoption. You'll be trusted to shape what gets built, not just track when it ships.

The strongest candidates bring a rare combination:

• Consulting-grade client presence and leadership
• Real solution design and architecture instincts
• Technical fluency in data and AI

What You'll Do

• Client Leadership & Communication
  • Act as the primary, trusted face of CompassX to senior client stakeholders
  • Lead executive-level conversations that turn ambiguous business challenges into a clear, actionable solution direction
  • Build consensus across stakeholder groups with competing priorities
• Solution Design & Ownership
  • Own the design of the solution itself
  • Partner closely with architects, engineers, and data/AI practitioners
  • Drive process improvement and "ways of working" recommendations
• Data, Technology & AI Fluency
  • Evaluate the feasibility of data and AI use cases
  • Bring a point of view on where AI genuinely adds value to a solution
  • Use AI as part of your own working style
• Delivery (supporting, not core)
  • Bring enough fluency in delivery fundamentals
  • This is not a scrum-master or backlog-management role

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience spanning consulting, product ownership, and/or solution design
• A track record of being the trusted senior presence in front of executive clients
• Real experience shaping or designing a solution
• Working knowledge of data and AI environments
• Strong executive communication and consensus-building skills
• Bachelor's degree or higher (Business, Computer Science, Engineering) or equivalent demonstrable experience
• Ideally based in Southern California

Requirements

• $130,000 - $180,000 a year
• The posted compensation range reflects the anticipated compensation for this opportunity
• Final compensation and engagement type will be determined based on factors including experience, skills, qualifications, internal equity, market conditions, and the nature of the role

Benefits

• Consultants can truly find their own path
• Impact of their work is visible
• Freedom to take the reins of their careers
• Direct line to leadership
• Build lasting relationships with local Southern California clients
