Project Sales Consultant (Kitchen)

Liberum

<div>Who We Are<p>
Liberum exists to deliver in the environments where most firms struggle. Our clients are public sector agencies navigating enterprise-scale transformations in politically complex, high-stakes environments where the margin for error is thin, and the consequences of failure are public. We believe clients deserve real ownership, not warm bodies and hope.</p><p>
We&rsquo;re a team first. We are not a loose collection of consultants sharing a logo, but a genuine team that pushes each other&rsquo;s thinking, pressure-tests each other&rsquo;s work, and shows up when engagements get hard. The people we hire make the entire team better, not just their own deliverables.</p><p>
We&rsquo;re also building an AI-forward consulting practice. Our project managers don&rsquo;t manage projects the way they did five years ago. They use AI to see around corners, move faster, and deliver sharper analysis than consultants who are still doing everything manually. If your toolkit hasn&rsquo;t evolved to include AI as a core capability, you&rsquo;re already behind the standard at Liberum.</p><p>
If you&rsquo;re looking for a comfortable seat and a steady paycheck, this isn&rsquo;t the role. If you want to be part of a team that does hard things extraordinarily well, staying on the leading edge of how that work gets done, keep reading.</p><br>
The Role<p>
This is a senior project management position for someone who doesn&rsquo;t just manage projects. They own them. You will serve as the driving force behind complex, multi-workstream engagements for Washington State agencies, and you&rsquo;ll be expected to flex beyond traditional PM boundaries when the engagement demands it. The right candidate isn&rsquo;t precious about their role definition; they do what needs doing to ensure delivery.</p><p>
You bring deep public sector experience, ERP implementation knowledge, and a technical background that lets you go toe-to-toe with system integrators and technical teams, not just manage the schedule while others make the real decisions. Your planning rigor is genuine: resource-loaded schedules, dependency mapping, and the discipline to keep plans current and actionable. You know the difference between a project plan that drives execution and one that exists to satisfy a governance checkbox.</p><p>
You are an AI-enabled project manager. You use AI tools to analyze project data and surface risks before they escalate. You generate executive-ready status reports and briefings in a fraction of the time it takes traditional PMs. You use AI to synthesize complex information from multiple workstreams into clear decision frameworks. You automate the repetitive reporting and documentation work that consumes most PMs&rsquo; time, freeing yourself to focus on the strategic and political work that actually determines whether a project succeeds or fails. AI isn&rsquo;t a nice-to-have in your toolkit. It&rsquo;s how you operate at a level that would otherwise be impossible.</p><p>
You operate with an ownership mentality. You drive work forward, take responsibility for outcomes beyond your immediate scope, and build clarity when things are ambiguous or off-track, without waiting for direction. You&rsquo;re comfortable delivering hard truths to executive stakeholders with data and a solution already in hand. When a project starts going sideways, you&rsquo;re the person who names it, frames it, and leads the recovery, not the person who waits for someone else to notice.</p><p>
As a Liberum team member, you collaborate fully, communicate proactively, and never operate in isolation. You see the big picture while owning your piece of it. You make the people and engagements around you better.</p><br>
What You&rsquo;ll Do<p>
Project Delivery &amp; Governance</p><ul><li>
Lead end-to-end project management for complex, multi-workstream engagements including scope, schedule, budget, risk, and issue management</li><li>
Develop, maintain, and execute detailed MS Project plans with dependencies, resource loading, and elaborated tasks; apply hybrid Agile/Waterfall approaches appropriate to the engagement context</li><li>
Drive clarity and alignment when project conditions are ambiguous, off-track, or politically complex, including developing recovery plans and realignment strategies</li><li>
Facilitate project status reporting, executive briefings, and governance checkpoints</li><li>
Deliver status updates and executive reporting in visually compelling formats that tell the right story for the right audience</li><li>
Identify and proactively manage project risks and dependencies across interconnected workstreams before they become fire drills</li></ul><p>
AI-Enabled Project Leadership</p><ul><li>
Use AI tools to analyze project data across workstreams, identifying schedule risks, resource conflicts, dependency chains, and early-warning patterns that inform proactive decision-making</li><li>
Use AI to rapidly produce executive-ready deliverables: status reports, risk assessments, decision briefs, and governance presentations at a quality and speed that traditional approaches can&rsquo;t match</li><li>
Apply AI to synthesize information from multiple sources: meeting notes, vendor updates, technical documentation, stakeholder feedback, into clear, consolidated views that drive alignment</li><li>
Use AI to automate repetitive PM work: status aggregation, action item tracking, schedule variance analysis, and reporting workflows, freeing capacity for the strategic and political work that determines project outcomes</li><li>
Continuously evaluate and adopt emerging AI tools that improve project delivery, and share innovations with the Liberum team to raise the collective capability</li></ul><p>
Technical Engagement &amp; Integration</p><ul><li>
Support configuration, testing, and validation activities including UAT planning and execution. You understand the technical work well enough to spot problems, not just track timelines</li><li>
Coordinate across vendor, state agency, and internal Liberum team members to ensure integrated delivery across all workstreams</li><li>
Engage with system integrators and technical teams as a credible counterpart who understands the substance of what&rsquo;s being built, not just the project mechanics</li></ul><p>
Stakeholder &amp; Relationship Management</p><ul><li>
Manage relationships with executive sponsors, steering committees, and cross-functional stakeholders across state agency environments</li><li>
Engage and build foundational relationships with customers, project sponsors, vendors, and external stakeholders</li><li>
Proactively communicate project progress, risks, and value delivered to client stakeholders, ensuring visibility into team contributions throughout the engagement</li></ul><p>
Team &amp; Client Development</p><ul><li>
Coach and mentor client-side staff to build internal PM capability that outlasts the engagement</li><li>
Collaborate with OCM, training, and communications teams to ensure project management outputs support adoption and readiness activities</li><li>
Identify opportunities to create additional client value throughout the engagement lifecycle</li></ul><br>

</div><div>Digital transformation is a critical enabler of inclusive growth, institutional effectiveness, resilience and sustainable development in Least Developed Countries (LDCs). Governments increasingly rely on digital technologies to enhance public service delivery, improve policy coherence, strengthen transparency and accountability, and enable innovation across the economy. However, progress remains uneven, with persistent gaps in connectivity, digital skills, institutional coordination, data governance and cybersecurity. LDCs in Asia such as Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Nepal have made notable gains in digital infrastructure and connectivity, with internet penetration surpassing 50%, well above the LDC average of 34%. These advancements underscore growing readiness across the region to harness digital technologies for development. At the same time, the rapid pace of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and increasing demand for Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) underscore the urgency for LDCs to strengthen institutional frameworks and leverage technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT). These tools offer transformative potential, including AI for adaptive social protection systems, blockchain for transparent land registries, and IoT for boosting agricultural productivity and resource efficiency. Strategically deployed, such technologies can modernize public service delivery and foster more responsive and resilient governance. The UN Technology Bank for the LDCs (UNTB) in partnership with the United Nations Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS) is implementing a three-year project entitled &ldquo;Promoting Digital Transformation of Selected Asian LDCs for a Sustainable and Resilient Future&rdquo;. The project covers Cambodia, Lao PDR, Nepal and Timor-Leste. Using a whole-of-government approach, this project aims to contribute towards addressing systemic barriers by providing targeted support to national strategies, inclusive digital ecosystems, and regional knowledge cooperation. It builds on the work of the UN system, which have supported digital transformation efforts in the selected LDCs. The present TORs are for conducting a digital readiness assessment in Nepal, using a whole-of-government methodology and informed by initial national-level stakeholder engagement and consultations. The assessment will be developed in collaboration with an international consultant, who will support the development of Readiness Assessments in the four implementing countries. Roles and responsibilities between the National and International Consultants will be clearly delineated and further elaborated in the respective Inception Reports. The digital readiness assessments will provide an in-depth analysis of Nepal&rsquo;s current digital ecosystem, assessing the status and identifying gaps across key dimensions such as digital infrastructure, governance frameworks, institutional capacity, human capital and digital skills, data ecosystem and integration and responsible use of emerging technologies. The assessment will serve as a foundational evidence base to inform subsequent project outputs. Key documents for review will include national plans and policies, as well as the UNSDCF and relevant planning documents from UN agencies and other relevant partners, to ensure work proceeds in close alignment with existing planning. As part of the project, a national workshop will be held at the beginning of the project, in each implementing country, taking place at the same time as this consultancy. This will bring together representatives from a broad range of government ministries with the aim to provide inputs on the current state of digitalization, outline strengths and gaps at the national level, and inform the development of the forthcoming digitalization toolkit, regional trainings, and further support provided through this project. The international consultant will be expected to participate virtually in these workshops, with the national consultant engaging in-person. Together, the international and national consultants will be expected to extract information provided during these workshops, applied to the development of the readiness assessment, to ensure the Readiness Assessment aligns to the national priorities highlighted during the workshops. Purpose and Scope of Assignment The project aims to support whole-of-government digital transformation through evidence-based diagnostics, policy support, capacity development, and stakeholder engagement. As an initial phase, the project will undertake a comprehensive Digital Maturity / Digital Readiness Assessment of government ministries and public institutions in Nepal. The assessment will provide a structured diagnostic of current digital capabilities, identify systemic gaps and constraints, and inform the prioritized national digital transformation roadmap aligned with national development objectives and the Digital Nepal Framework (DNF) including readiness for the governance and integration of emerging technologies. This Digital Readiness Assessment constitutes part of Output 1 of the project and will serve as the analytical foundation for subsequent project activities, including digital strategy dialogue, capacity development, and regional knowledge exchange. The assessment will build on existing diagnostics and be aligned with international good practices and analytical frameworks, in particular the ITU Digital Transformation Wheel, which focuses on three interlinked dimensions of digital development: Access (connectivity and infrastructure), Adoption (institutional, organizational and individual use of digital technologies), and Value Creation (digital public services, data-driven decision-making, innovation and socio-economic impact). The work will also draw on ITU&rsquo;s digital development indicators, the Unified Framework dataset, and relevant UN-OHRLLS and UNTB knowledge products. Under the overall supervision of the UN Technology Bank for the LDCs, and in close coordination with UN-OHRLLS, designated counterparts of the Government of Nepal, and in collaboration with the International Consultant, who will provide guidance and oversight to the work at the national level, the National Consultant will perform the following duties: &bull; Prepare the national-level Inception Report, including country-specific stakeholder mapping, data collection plan, contextualization of the agreed methodology to Nepal&rsquo;s context, and a detailed workplan and timeline, in coordination with and under the guidance of the International Consultant; &bull; Conduct a comprehensive desk review of national policies, strategies, implementation plans, laws and regulations related to digital government, ICT, digital economy and public sector modernization, in collaboration with the International Consultant.

</div><div>Digital transformation is a critical enabler of inclusive growth, institutional effectiveness, resilience and sustainable development in Least Developed Countries (LDCs). Governments increasingly rely on digital technologies to enhance public service delivery, improve policy coherence, strengthen transparency and accountability, and enable innovation across the economy. However, progress remains uneven, with persistent gaps in connectivity, digital skills, institutional coordination, data governance and cybersecurity. LDCs in Asia such as Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Nepal have made notable gains in digital infrastructure and connectivity, with internet penetration surpassing 50%, well above the LDC average of 34%. These advancements underscore growing readiness across the region to harness digital technologies for development. At the same time, the rapid pace of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and increasing demand for Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) underscore the urgency for LDCs to strengthen institutional frameworks and leverage technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT). These tools offer transformative potential, including AI for adaptive social protection systems, blockchain for transparent land registries, and IoT for boosting agricultural productivity and resource efficiency. Strategically deployed, such technologies can modernize public service delivery and foster more responsive and resilient governance. The UN Technology Bank for the LDCs (UNTB) in partnership with the United Nations Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS) is implementing a three-year project entitled &ldquo;Promoting Digital Transformation of Selected Asian LDCs for a Sustainable and Resilient Future&rdquo;. The project covers Cambodia, Lao PDR, Nepal and Timor-Leste.
