Senior Solution Owner, Data, Technology & AI

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in California.

📋 Description

• Serve as the primary, trusted representative of CompassX to senior client stakeholders, establishing the credibility necessary to be invited to discussions before challenges are fully articulated.

• Facilitate executive-level discussions that transform vague business challenges into clear, actionable solutions.

• Build consensus among stakeholder groups with conflicting priorities, adeptly navigating organizational dynamics to maintain momentum.

• Take ownership of the solution design itself, shaping the approach, validating it technically, and defending it under scrutiny.

• Collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and data/AI practitioners to ensure the technical strategy is sound while remaining the accountable owner of the overall solution.

• Promote process improvement and recommendations for 'ways of working' as integral parts of the solution rather than as an afterthought.

• Assess the feasibility of data and AI use cases, articulating knowledge of data pipelines, model approaches, and modern architecture.

• Provide insights on where AI truly adds value to a solution and where its application may not be appropriate.

• Integrate AI into your work style (research, synthesis, solutioning), exemplifying the modern practices that CompassX offers to clients.

• Demonstrate sufficient knowledge of delivery fundamentals—Agile, UAT, data validation—to maintain the credibility of a workstream, with support from delivery specialists when needed.

• Note that this position is not focused on scrum-master or backlog-management responsibilities; delivery mechanics are considered a supplementary skill rather than a core job requirement.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 8 years of experience in consulting, product ownership, and/or solution design, preferably with a reputable consulting firm.

• Proven history of being a trusted senior presence in interactions with executive clients, rather than merely coordinating workstreams.

• Genuine experience in shaping or designing a solution (architecture, process, or product), rather than solely managing its delivery.

• Working knowledge of data and AI environments, including pipelines, analytics, model evaluation, or modern data architecture.

• Excellent executive communication and consensus-building abilities.

• Bachelor’s degree or higher (in Business, Computer Science, Engineering) or equivalent demonstrable experience.

• Ideally located in Southern California.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.

• Flexible working hours and remote work options.

• Opportunities for professional development and career growth.

• Engaging company culture with team-building activities.
