Senior Project Manager / Business Analyst - Consultant

About this role

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…
