About The Position

Luster is building its owner-side digital transformation and PMIS advisory practice for mega capital infrastructure construction programs. This is a future-role talent-pool posting, not an opening for a specific currently available position. Candidates selected for the specialty talent pool will be notified first when a project need arises. The company is currently targeting the greater San Francisco Bay Area but will consider qualified candidates anywhere in the continental United States. The role may require up to 50% travel. Responsibilities and scope vary by skill level and increase in complexity with experience. The role leads executive discovery, roadmap development, and PMIS strategy for public infrastructure owners. It connects governance, program controls, cost, schedule, risk, documents, and reporting into a practical owner-focused operating model, while supporting business development, proposal development, resource forecasting, and growth of the Digital Transformation practice. The leader also advances service-line messaging and repeatable advisory methods, coordinates with partners and prime contractors, and represents Luster in pursuits and client engagements. The approach is tool-agnostic and focused on strengthening client capability, transparency, and confidence in program data. The minimum qualifications include a bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent education and experience, and at least 10 years of relevant experience in digital transformation, PMIS advisory, or program controls strategy on mega capital infrastructure programs. Candidates should have experience advising public infrastructure owners, leading discovery-to-roadmap engagements, managing client relationships through implementation oversight, and working with public-sector funding, procurement, governance, and executive-reporting requirements. Experience with PMIS, ERP integration, data platforms, or analytics tools and proficiency with Microsoft Office 365 are also required. The expected salary range is $180,000–$220,000 per year ($87–$106 per hour). Compensation may vary based on experience, skills, education, certifications, licenses, location, and other circumstances. The posting lists unlimited flexible time off, paid holidays, paid parental leave, insurance coverage, retirement benefits, professional development, wellness support, and additional employee services and discounts.
