Pay & benefits

What you'll get

The AI landscape changes every month, and so do we. You will work on high-impact problems for top global companies, lead a team that moves fast, and shape how a consulting practice built on engineering delivers value.

• Autonomy: you own your engagements and decide how to get to the outcome, backed by accelerators and a strong team.

• Growth: a clear path from delivery management to practice and leadership roles.

• Impact: every engagement is measured by the business outcome it creates.

• Culture: a team that learns in public, shares what works and moves fast.

The role

Lead the business. Deliver the change.

At Propelling Tech we don't start with technology. We start with how our clients' businesses really work, then lead the teams that design and build the data, AI and agentic solutions that change it. As a Manager Consultant you will own client relationships and engagement delivery, bridging executive sponsors and technical teams, and you will be accountable for solutions reaching production with measurable results.

You will lead data and AI engagements from discovery to adoption. You will work with client executives to define the business problem, shape the solution with your engineering team, and keep delivery, scope, quality and stakeholder alignment on track. You will coach consultants and engineers, and you will be the person clients trust to turn a complex transformation into a measurable result.

You will not delegate accountability for outcomes. You own the engagement, the relationship and the business impact.

What you'll do

• Lead end-to-end data and AI projects, from scoping and discovery through delivery, go-live and value tracking.

• Own project plans, budgets, risks, dependencies and quality across one or more concurrent engagements.

• Define success metrics with the client upfront and report progress against business outcomes, not just milestones.

• Build trusted relationships with client executives and business stakeholders, and act as their advisor on priorities and trade-offs.

• Lead discovery sessions, map processes and data landscapes, and identify where data and AI can create measurable impact.

• Translate business strategy into clear solution roadmaps and investment cases that executives can approve.

• Support scoping, estimation and proposal development for new opportunities.

• Identify expansion opportunities within existing accounts and contribute to reusable assets and accelerators.

• Share what works across the team and help shape how Propelling Tech delivers.

How you'll work

• Location: Hybrid, with offices in Barcelona (L'Illa)

• Languages: Spanish & English, Catalan preferred

What success looks like

Within your first six months you will have taken ownership of a client engagement, led it to a measurable business result, and built trust with the client's executive sponsors. Over time you will lead multiple engagements, develop your team, and influence how Propelling Tech scopes, delivers and grows its client portfolio.
