About The Position

Indigo Beam is seeking a Delivery and Portfolio Manager to personally lead complex client facing IT consulting engagements while guiding a small team of project managers.

• Experience delivering projects in the Microsoft ecosystem (Azure, .NET, Power Platform)
• Ability to lead projects from the ground up — discovery, requirements, shaping, and delivery
• Strong business analysis skills
• Experience leading distributed teams across time zones
• Strong executive communication and stakeholder management
• Willingness to work hands-on in the delivery details, not only at a governance level
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or related field
