Job Description

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.

The Role

Our Project Management practice partners with clients facing significant organizational change to deliver their most complex initiatives.

From enterprise system implementations and regulatory programs to large-scale business transformations, our project managers provide the structure, leadership, and oversight needed to achieve results.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in dynamic environments, excels at bringing order to complexity, and has a proven ability to build trust with stakeholders at all levels. You’ll be accountable for both the strategy and the day-to-day execution that keeps high-stakes programs on track.

What You'll Do

• Lead complex projects or programs from initiation through delivery, ensuring scope, timeline, and budget objectives are met.
• Define project plans, establish governance structures, and drive effective communication across stakeholder groups.
• Manage dependencies, risks, and issues with a proactive, solutions-oriented approach.
• Partner closely with business and technology teams to align strategy, execution, and adoption.
• Drive stakeholder engagement and executive reporting, keeping senior leaders informed and aligned.
• Support organizational change management, ensuring smooth adoption of new processes, systems, and ways of working.

What You'll Bring

Benefits

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.
