Job description
Who We Are
Liberum exists to deliver in the environments where most firms struggle. Our clients are public sector agencies navigating enterprise-scale transformations in politically complex, high-stakes environments where the margin for error is thin, and the consequences of failure are public. We believe clients deserve real ownership, not warm bodies and hope.
We’re a team first. Not a loose collection of consultants sharing a logo, but a genuine team that pushes each other’s thinking, pressure-tests each other’s work, and shows up when engagements get hard. The people we hire make the team better, not just their own deliverables.
We’re also building an AI-forward consulting practice. Our consultants don’t treat AI as a novelty or a side experiment. They integrate it into how they plan, analyze, build, and deliver. AI is a force multiplier at Liberum, and every practitioner is expected to wield it with the same rigor they bring to their core discipline.
If you’re looking for a comfortable seat and a steady paycheck, this isn’t the role. If you want to be part of a team that does hard things extraordinarily well, with every available advantage. Keep reading.
The Role
This is a dual-capacity position: you will provide both project management leadership and business analysis expertise to support large-scale Washington State ERP initiatives. This is not two half-roles stitched together. It’s a senior-level position for a seasoned professional who can seamlessly shift between driving project delivery and performing rigorous business analysis within the same engagement, often in the same week.
The right candidate brings deep public sector experience, hands-on ERP implementation knowledge, and direct Workday expertise. On the PM side, you bring genuine planning rigor: resource-loaded schedules, dependency mapping, and the discipline to keep plans current and actionable, not decorative artifacts that gather dust. On the BA side, you go beyond documenting requirements to identify gaps and risks the client hasn’t recognized, and you translate complex operational realities into clear, actionable specifications that technical teams can actually build from.
You are an AI-enabled consultant. You use AI tools daily to work faster and smarter, whether that’s rapidly synthesizing meeting notes and interview data into requirements artifacts, using AI to identify patterns and risks in project data, building executive-ready deliverables in a fraction of the time, or automating the repetitive analytical work that bogs down traditional consultants. You don’t see AI as separate from your PM and BA practice. It’s woven into how you operate, and it’s one of the reasons you deliver at a level your peers can’t match.
You operate with an ownership mentality. You drive work forward, take responsibility for outcomes beyond your immediate scope, and build clarity when things are ambiguous or off-track, without waiting for direction. You’re comfortable delivering hard truths to executive stakeholders with data and a solution already in hand. You understand that making your value visible to the client is as important as delivering it.
As a Liberum team member, you collaborate fully, communicate proactively, and never operate in isolation. You see the big picture while owning your piece of it. You make the people and engagements around you better.
What You’ll Do
Project Management & Delivery Leadership
Lead end-to-end project management for complex, multi-workstream engagements including scope, schedule, budget, risk, and issue management
Develop, maintain, and execute detailed MS Project plans with dependencies, resource loading, and elaborated tasks; apply hybrid Agile/Waterfall approaches appropriate to the engagement context
Drive clarity and alignment when project conditions are ambiguous, off-track, or politically complex, including developing recovery plans and realignment strategies when things go sideways
Facilitate project status reporting, executive briefings, and governance checkpoints
Deliver status updates and executive reporting in visually compelling formats that tell the right story for the right audience, not just data dumps
Identify and proactively manage project risks and dependencies across interconnected workstreams
Business Analysis & Requirements
Elicit, document, and validate business and functional requirements through structured interviews, workshops, and process observation
Develop and maintain business process flow diagrams, gap analyses, use cases, and other analytical artifacts that drive clarity, not just check boxes
Assess current state and future state business processes to identify impacts, risks, and opportunities associated with system and operational changes
Translate complex business requirements into clear, actionable specifications for technical teams and system integrators, specifications they can actually build from without three rounds of clarification
Support configuration, testing, and validation activities related to ERP/Workday implementation workstreams, including UAT planning and execution
AI-Enabled Delivery
Use AI tools to rapidly synthesize meeting notes, interview transcripts, and workshop outputs into structured requirements documents, gap analyses, and decision frameworks, compressing days of manual synthesis into hours
Use AI for project data analysis: identifying risk patterns across workstreams, surfacing schedule dependencies, forecasting resource conflicts, and generating early-warning indicators that inform proactive decision-making
Use AI to accelerate the creation of executive-ready deliverables: status reports, briefing decks, business cases, and analytical artifacts, at a quality and speed that traditional approaches can’t match
Use AI as an analytical partner to pressure-test requirements, validate business process logic, identify specification gaps, and stress-test assumptions before they reach technical teams
Continuously evaluate and adopt emerging AI tools and techniques that improve PM and BA delivery, and share innovations with the Liberum team to raise the collective capability
Stakeholder & Relationship Management
Manage relationships with executive sponsors, steering committees, and cross-functional stakeholders across state agency environments
Engage and build foundational relationships with customers, project sponsors, vendors, and external stakeholders
Coordinate across vendor, state agency, and internal Liberum team members to ensure integrated delivery
Proactively communicate project progress, risks, and value delivered to client stakeholders, ensuring visibility into team contributions throughout the engagement
Team & Client Development
Coach and mentor client-side staff to build internal PM and BA capability where applicable
Collaborate with OCM, training, and communications teams to ensure PM and BA outputs support adoption and readiness activities
Identify opportunities to create additional client value throughout the engagement lifecycle, not just fulfill the SOW, but actively look for ways to make the client better
Requirements
What We Require
These aren’t suggestions. If you can’t back each of these up with specific examples, this isn’t the right fit yet.
Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent professional experience
5+ years of combined experience in project management and business analysis roles, with demonstrated senior-level performance in both functions, not just titles but outcomes you can walk us through
Direct experience supporting or delivering at least one major ERP implementation (Workday, SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, or equivalent)
Workday experience: functional knowledge of one or more Workday modules (HCM, Finance, Payroll, etc.) preferred, with hands-on configuration or testing experience ideal
Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder projects in highly regulated or politically sensitive environments, where the org chart doesn’t tell you who actually makes decisions
Experience facilitating executive-level stakeholder engagement, including steering committees and sponsor briefings
Proficiency in developing business process documentation, requirements artifacts, and gap analysis deliverables that drive action, not shelf-ware
Experience conducting business interviews and leading client workshops at both operational and leadership levels
Active, daily use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) integrated into your PM and BA workflow, not occasional experimentation, but a fundamental part of how you work. You should be able to demonstrate specific examples of how AI has changed your delivery speed, quality, or analytical depth.
Demonstrated ability to use AI for document synthesis, requirements analysis, data pattern recognition, risk identification, and deliverable creation in a professional consulting context
Comfort prompting and directing AI tools effectively. You understand how to get high-quality, contextually appropriate outputs and know the limitations of AI-generated content
Intellectual curiosity and initiative around emerging AI capabilities. Proactively experiment with new tools and bring innovations to your team, not wait for someone to assign them
Strong writing skills: the ability to synthesize complex information into clear, concise deliverables for both technical audiences and executive stakeholders
Hybrid methodology fluency: ability to blend Agile and Waterfall approaches pragmatically based on what the project and client actually need
Proficiency in MS Project or equivalent scheduling tools, including dependency mapping and resource-loaded plans
Professional courage to deliver difficult findings and recommendations with data, grace, and actionable solutions, not just flag problems, but bring answers
Proven ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and operate effectively within a remote or hybrid team environment
Exceptional client relationship management skills
PMP certification or equivalent project management credential preferred
PMI-PBA or CBAP certification a plus
What Sets You Apart
Not required, but these will move you to the front of the line.
Master’s Degree in Business, Public Administration, Information Systems, or related field
Consulting experience with public sector clients
Experience with COTS implementation in public sector environments
Familiarity with Washington State procurement and contracting processes
Experience working alongside or managing SI (System Integrator) teams on large-scale ERP programs
Prosci or equivalent OCM certification
Experience building custom AI workflows, prompt libraries, or automated analytical pipelines that measurably improved consulting delivery
Familiarity with AI-powered project analytics, predictive scheduling tools, or automated reporting solutions
Track record of introducing AI tools or practices to a team or client organization and driving adoption
