  • Set performance expectations, coach project leaders, and develop future subject-matter experts.
  • Build a culture of accountability, analytical excellence, and client obsession.
  • Identify hiring needs and help recruit top talent into the practice.

Commercial & Client Leadership

  • Act as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders across supply chain, operations, finance, and logistics.
  • Lead proposal development, scoping, and pricing for transportation advisory services.
  • Identify opportunities to expand existing accounts and cross-sell into adjacent supply-chain services.

Financial & Performance Management

  • Own the financial performance of the Transportation Advisory service area, including revenue, margin, and utilization.
  • Forecast demand, manage staffing plans, and ensure profitable delivery.
  • Track KPIs such as project margin, client satisfaction, win rate, and practice growth.

Within 12–18 months, you will have:
