A senior project manager for consulting firms
Running a consulting firm means holding many moving parts at once. Utilisation is the business: consultants on the bench cost money, and proposals written without a staffing plan in mind win work the firm cannot deliver well.
Delivery discipline is what keeps that rhythm from turning into firefighting. Client quarters drive demand, proposal surges follow budget cycles, and knowledge from one engagement rarely reaches the next team. The plan has to exist before the pressure arrives, not during it.
You get a single owner for delivery: scope fixed before work starts, milestones the managing partner can check, and coordination across everyone the project touches. Book a free discovery call to talk through the one project causing the most trouble right now.
What this engagement covers for consulting firms
- Delivery plan for a new practice launch — scope, milestones and owners agreed before work starts, so the managing partner knows what is due and when.
- Schedule and dependency control for a major client programme — the order of work mapped out, so a delay in one part is rescheduled before it hits everything else.
- Vendor and contractor coordination on a methodology rollout — quotes, bookings and deliveries lined up in sequence, with one person chasing when a supplier goes quiet.
- Cost control on an office expansion — actual spend compared with the plan at every milestone, with changes priced and agreed before the work starts.
- A standing cadence for proposals and engagement staffing — progress, blockers and decisions reviewed weekly, so nothing waits for a crisis meeting.
- Handover documentation for deliverable reviews and client workshops — what was delivered, how it runs, and who owns it next, written down before the project closes.
Built on your stack, not on top of it
Most consulting firms already run on A CRM, time-tracking tools, proposal software and a knowledge base that is supposed to hold past deliverables. The gap is rarely the tools. It is that nobody owns the plan connecting them: work booked in one place, tracked in another, and reported nowhere.
This engagement works inside the systems the team already uses, rather than asking everyone to learn a new one mid-project. Reporting stays simple: what is done, what is next, what is blocked, and what decision is needed from the managing partner.
A sensible first project is one job with a visible deadline — a new practice launch is a good candidate — with success measured by whether it lands on time and on budget, not by how busy everyone looked.
From kickoff to delivery for consulting firms
- Discovery and scope
One project first, chosen from where delivery hurts most — often proposals or engagement staffing. Scope, deadline and success measure agreed before anything is scheduled.
- Plan and resourcing
A plan the team can see: sequence, owners, vendor bookings and the decisions the managing partner needs to make, all dated. Gaps are found here, not mid-delivery.
- Delivery cadence
Weekly checks on progress, blockers and spend against the plan. When something slips, it is rescheduled openly with the knock-on effects stated, not hidden until the deadline.
- Delivery and handover
The project closes with documentation: what was delivered, what it cost against plan, open items, and who owns each one next. Nothing is left in one person's head.
Why hire Omer
- One accountable owner — delivery stops being everyone's hope and becomes one person's job.
- Plans before pressure — the schedule exists before the busy period, not during it.
- Vendors chased by one person — suppliers and contractors managed, not assumed.
- Honest reporting — slippage raised early with options, not found at the deadline.
- Handover, not dependence — documentation lets the team run the next project alone.
What changes in practice
Proposals that match real staffing, deliverables reviewed before they reach the client, and knowledge from past work reused instead of reinvented. That is the standard this engagement is measured against: projects that land on the date promised, with the budget intact and a handover the team can use.
Over time, the change is cultural as much as operational: the engagement lead and the practice head start planning before committing, because they have seen a project run that way. Browse all hire engagements or discuss your next project directly.
