Who we are looking for

We are building a diverse team of talented and motivated people who deeply understand business problems and enjoy solving them. We are widely regarded as a top consulting destination for technical talent, and a "tiger team" of resources that take on challenging yet fulfilling data engineering cases that are critical to our client’s success.

Someone who loves modern technologies, has experience delivering professional services, with an eye for process improvement; in particular as a mechanism for increasing client satisfaction. You enjoy challenges, specifically when it comes to identifying improvement opportunities, proposing and implementing changes. You have an acumen for business, and how to translate those needs into executable project and program plans.

As a Lead Program Manager, you will be expected to be ‘the face’ of program / project management for the Data Engineering + Infrastructure team at Aimpoint Digital. You will work closely with our central PMO to champion centrally defined project management principles in our everyday operations.
