About TYR Partners
TYR Partners (“TYR”) is a boutique consulting firm specializing in business transformation through technology, workflow redesign, and the strategic integration of AI. We partner with organizations to improve operational performance by helping them adopt emerging technologies, optimize business processes, and successfully manage organizational change.
We are building a network of experienced consultants who enjoy solving complex business problems and working directly with client leadership to deliver meaningful results.
The Opportunity
TYR is seeking experienced Project Managers to lead AI-enabled business transformation initiatives for our clients. The ideal candidate is someone who has experience leading discrete workstreams within projects, thrives on driving organizational change and redesigning business processes, and communicates effectively with client stakeholders and subject matter experts. They should also be effective at working with AI tools and at training others to adopt them, providing intentional, high-quality input that improves program efficacy. Good consultants bring strong analytical skills; great consultants pair those intellectual capabilities with strong interpersonal skills. The consultants we’re looking for go a step further—they thrive under the sustained demands of frequent travel while remaining personable and effective with clients, and while helping sustain morale and relationships within their own team.
This role focuses on leading client AI-enabled transformation efforts and organizational adoption. It does not involve designing, developing, or engineering AI systems. Instead, Project Managers will collaborate with TYR’s technical specialists to deliver successful client outcomes.
This is an excellent opportunity for professionals who enjoy client-facing consulting work, diverse project environments, and supporting organizations in successfully adopting new technologies.

Assess the client’s current state and collaborate with client teams to redesign workflows that improve efficiency and technology adoption.
Coordinate cross-functional teams, including client stakeholders, technical resources, and other TYR consultants.
Facilitate workshops, executive presentations, and change management activities to support successful project outcomes.
Develop and oversee high-quality project deliverables, ensuring they meet client requirements, project objectives, and TYR’s standards.
Mentor junior consultants and contribute to internal knowledge sharing and continuous improvement initiatives in a thoughtful, inclusive, and humanistic manner.
Travel to client sites as required to support project delivery and executive engagement.
Required Qualifications
5+ years of experience working on complex business transformation initiatives in consulting, professional services, or a comparable client-facing environment.
3+ years in a project leadership role.
Demonstrated experience working directly with client stakeholders and senior leadership, as well as with large enterprises, such as Fortune 500 organizations.

Strong project management and PMO skills.
Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, such as behavioral science/psychology, computer/data science, or engineering.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience working with AI-enabled business solutions or technology transformation initiatives.
