Summit Lake Data + AI (SLD) is a boutique Databricks and Anthropic consulting partner.
We help US organizations build modern data platforms and put AI into production, with an
onshore and offshore delivery team working as one. This role is the onshore anchor that
keeps our US engagements running and our clients confident.
Location- Remote (US or Canada)
THE ROLE
You own delivery cadence, client communication, scope and change control, and
commercial hygiene across SLD's US engagements. You are part strategist, part hands-on
PM: a player-coach who makes our "tangible at every step" promise real, so clients see
working value at the end of every sprint.
As the onshore lead, you are the bridge between US client stakeholders and our
engineering team across time zones.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Run delivery cadence across concurrent engagements: sprint planning, standups, demos, and retros.
- Serve as a primary day-to-day client contact, managing US stakeholder expectations and communication.
- Own scope, timeline, risks, dependencies, and change control, protecting our increment-by-increment delivery model.
- Lead coordination between US clients and SLD's offshore engineering team, including regular early-morning overlap calls.
- Coordinate SLD engineers, client SMEs, and Databricks partner resources across workstreams.
- Track budget, burn, milestones, and SOW health; support SOW shaping, proposals, and renewals.
- Guide AI engagements from proof of concept to production, setting clear client expectations around evaluation and iteration.
- Drive adoption, change management, and enablement handoffs.
- Report status to client sponsors and SLD leadership.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
- 8+ years in delivery, engagement, or project management within data, analytics, or software consulting.
- 3+ years managing engagements on Databricks and another modern cloud data platform (Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, BigQuery, or similar).
- A track record delivering multi-workstream technical projects to US enterprise clients.
- Experience coordinating distributed or offshore delivery teams.
- Executive-level written and verbal communication, with strong stakeholder management.
- Agile delivery paired with disciplined change control, and comfort with data, analytics, and AI project shapes.
- Exposure to GenAI or LLM projects, such as proofs of concept, evaluation, or moving pilots into production.
- Comfort with startup ambiguity and juggling multiple concurrent accounts.
BONUS POINTS
- Deep, hands-on Databricks engagement experience (4+ years).
- Databricks certification or accreditation, such as Lakehouse Fundamentals or higher.
- PMP or Agile certification (CSM, PSM, or SAFe).
- Pre-sales, SOW, or commercial experience.
- Familiarity with Anthropic's Claude or other enterprise LLM platforms.
- Experience in a boutique or startup consultancy serving global clients.
