About the engagementConsultant Partners is hiring a Program Management Lead on our payroll for a dedicated two-month engagement with one of our clients — a US and EU digital therapeutics company in the mental health space. The client's platform is FDA-registered, CE-marked and HIPAA-compliant, with an established reimbursement track record in Europe, and is now scaling its US business.

You will be a Consultant Partners contractor, assigned full-time to this single client. The client is identified at shortlist stage under NDA.

The roleStand up program management as a core organizational capability during a period of rapid US growth.

The scope is end to end — business, product and technology workstreams, from the working task layer through to executive reporting. You will build the operating system (cadences, boards, reporting, decision and risk management), run it, and hand it over in working order.

Decisions remain with functional owners and the CEO. You own the machinery that keeps them on time.

Scope of workPhase 1 — Assess and consolidate

- Inventory all work in flight across workstreams; consolidate into a single task and reporting structure (Asana layered on Notion).
- Establish the meeting cadence and reporting rhythm — every recurring meeting gets a purpose, an owner and minutes.
- Stand up the executive weekly report, open decisions log and RAID risk register.

Phase 2 — Operate and professionalize

- Run the weekly operating rhythm: workstream roll-ups, blocker resolution,



follow-through on trackers and dates.
- Build workstream board standards so detail lives with owners and rolls up to one executive view.
- Install milestone gate discipline: critical path, go/no-go criteria, pre-agreed decision points.
- Ensure program KPIs are instrumented and reported on cadence.

Phase 3 — Institutionalize and hand over

- Document the full PM operating system as a playbook: templates, cadences, roll-up standards, RACI, escalation paths.
- Train internal owners to run the system and execute a written handover. Exit leaving capability, not dependence.

- What success looks like

- One source of truth, live and adopted: task layer, executive report, decision log, risk register.
- Every workstream on a defined cadence, with a current board and a weekly roll-up that arrives without chasing.
- The executive team sees the entire program, blockers ranked by severity, and open decisions — in one document, weekly.
- A written playbook exists, and an internal owner has produced a full weekly cycle using it, unassisted.

Who we are looking for
- Trained in a top-tier consulting delivery system (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or an ex-consultant-led firm); structured problem solving and hypothesis-driven planning by default.
- 10+ years running multi-workstream programs,



including personally standing up PM infrastructure from scratch — not only operating inherited systems.
- PMP required (PRINCE2 Practitioner accepted as an alternative). CSM, PSM or PMI-ACP preferred; Lean Six Sigma a plus.
- Executive-grade written English. The weekly roll-up must let a CEO decide in two minutes.
- Tooling fluency: Asana, Notion, Jira, Slack, Mural — able to configure, not just use.
- Healthcare, health tech or regulated industry exposure is a plus, not a requirement.

Ways of working
- Full-time and dedicated to this client — single-client assignment, not fractional across engagements.
- Fixed shift: 3:00 PM – 12:00 AM IST, Monday to Friday. This gives full overlap with Central European hours and US Eastern business hours; occasional later calls for US Pacific meetings.
- Embedded in the client's tools from day one; daily written end-of-day note; camera-on for team meetings.
- No access to patient data or protected health information — the role runs on operational data only.

Engagement terms
- Two-month contract on Consultant Partners payroll, with a two-week evaluation gate for both parties. Option to extend or convert by mutual agreement.
- Immediate start. NDA, consulting agreement and IP assignment executed through Consultant Partners before day one.
- Compensation: up to ₹1,40,000 per month, for the right candidate.

Selection process
1. Profile screening and shortlisting by Consultant Partners (relevant program examples required).
2. 45-minute interview with the client CEO.
3. 30-minute written exercise: produce a one-page executive roll-up from raw meeting notes.

Consultant Partners is an equal opportunity employer.
