Facilitate stakeholder reviews to monitor progress, utilization, priorities, and business outcomes.

Partner with client stakeholders to identify business challenges and shape AI and Agentic transformation opportunities. Lead discovery workshops and translate business needs into actionable solutions, roadmaps, and business cases.

Collaborate with consulting, architecture, delivery, and commercial teams to ensure successful execution and measurable business results. Your Future at Kyndryl As a VMO Lead-Engagement Manager, you'll operate at the intersection of AI innovation, business transformation, and strategic consulting. You'll partner with senior client stakeholders, shape enterprise AI initiatives, drive measurable business value, and identify new opportunities that help organizations realize the full potential of Agentic AI and emerging technologies. Who You Are You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer-focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others. Required Technical and Professional Experience Extensive experience leading complex transformation programs, PMOs, VMOs, strategic initiatives, or consulting engagements. Proven success delivering client-facing consulting services and managing senior executive stakeholders. Strong understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Generative AI, Agentic AI, automation, and emerging digital technologies. Demonstrated ability to identify, shape, and develop new business opportunities and value-based engagements. Experience building business cases, value realization frameworks, and executive-level presentations. Strong governance, risk management, escalation management, and decision-facilitation skills. Exceptional communication, consulting, negotiation, and stakeholder management capabilities. Ability to influence across business, technology, and delivery organizations. Preferred Technical and Professional Experience Experience leading AI, automation, innovation, or digital transformation programs within large enterprise environments. Professional consulting experience within a technology services, systems integration, or management consulting organization. Knowledge of portfolio management, value management, and benefits realization methodologies. Experience working with enterprise architecture, solution design, and business analysis teams. Familiarity with highly regulated industries such as financial services, banking, or insurance.
