Sobre esta vaga de Senior Solution Owner (Data, Technology & AI) na Compassx
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, and enough technical fluency in data and AI to know when an approach is right - not just when a sprint is on schedule.
What You'll Do
Client Leadership & Communication
Act as the primary, trusted face of CompassX to senior client stakeholders - building the kind of credibility that gets you invited into the room before a problem is even fully defined
Lead executive-level conversations that turn ambiguous business challenges into a clear, actionable solution direction
Build consensus across stakeholder groups with competing priorities, and know how to navigate organizational dynamics without losing momentum
Solution Design & Ownership
Own the design of the solution itself - not just the plan to deliver it. Shape the approach, validate it technically, and defend it under scrutiny
Partner closely with architects, engineers, and data/AI practitioners to ensure the technical approach holds up, while remaining the accountable owner of the overall solution
Drive process improvement and "ways of working" recommendations as part of the solution, not as an afterthought
Data, Technology & AI Fluency
Evaluate the feasibility of data and AI use cases, and speak credibly to data pipelines, model approaches, and modern architecture
Bring a point of view on where AI genuinely adds value to a solution - and where it doesn't
Use AI as part of your own working style (research, synthesis, solutioning), modeling the kind of modern practice CompassX brings to clients
Delivery (supporting, not core)
Bring enough fluency in delivery fundamentals - Agile, UAT, data validation - to keep a workstream credible, with support from delivery specialists as needed
This is not a scrum-master or backlog-management role; delivery mechanics are a "nice to have," not the job
What You'll Bring
8+ years of experience spanning consulting, product ownership, and/or solution design — ideally with time at a reputable consulting firm
A track record of being the trusted senior presence in front of executive clients, not just a coordinator of workstreams
Real experience shaping or designing a solution (architecture, process, or product), not only managing its delivery
Working knowledge of data and AI environments — pipelines, analytics, model evaluation, or modern data architecture
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
