Job Description

Position Summary

The Team

ConvergeCONSUMER™ is a product-driven business that combines differentiated consumer insights with robust prediction and optimization capabilities to help consumer-focused businesses improve decision-making and deliver personalized experiences to drive growth, consumer loyalty, and profitability. We operate with the speed and agility of a startup within the world’s largest professional services firm.

We drive value for our clients by optimizing decisions and actions at a level of granularity only made possible with today’s data and technology. ConvergeCONSUMER’s suite of solutions helps consumer-facing businesses prosper in a world being re-shaped by convergence, where the lines between industries, competitors and collaborators, consumers and suppliers, and even human and artificial intelligence have blurred.

Position Summary

Are you a delivery-minded technologist who's just as comfortable in front of a client's executive team as you are leading a small team through a complex implementation? As a Senior Product Forward Deployed Engineer (pFDE) on ConvergeCONSUMER, you'll operate at the intersection of sales and delivery — building trust with senior client stakeholders, leading hands-on implementation teams, and feeding what you learn in the field back into our product roadmap.

Work you’ll do

As the Senior Product Forward Deployed Engineer (pFDE), you will:

  • Own end-to-end delivery of ConvergeCONSUMER product implementations for enterprise clients, from kickoff through go-live
  • Lead discovery and scoping conversations with client stakeholders to define engagement scope, timeline, and success criteria
  • Lead small delivery teams — a mix of engineers and consultants — through the full lifecycle of a client implementation
  • Serve as the primary client-facing point of contact during delivery, managing scope, timeline, and risk, and escalating issues before they threaten outcomes
  • Partner with sales and account teams to identify opportunities to expand existing engagements or open new ones
  • Present product capabilities and live demos to VP- and C-suite client stakeholders
  • Translate client feedback and product gaps into structured input for product management teams, distinguishing one-off delivery needs from core product enhancements
  • Develop reusable delivery playbooks, demo assets, and implementation patterns that accelerate future engagements
  • Coach and unblock junior FDEs and consultants on the team, sharing delivery and client-management best practices

The successful candidate would possess these skills:

  • Comfortable operating autonomously across both sales-support and hands-on delivery work without close oversight
  • Strong executive presence, with the ability to build credibility quickly with senior client stakeholders
  • Natural people leader, comfortable guiding and unblocking a small team under deadline pressure
  • Skilled at translating between technical delivery realities and business or product priorities
  • Proactive communicator who surfaces risk and feedback early rather than waiting to be asked
  • Resourceful and outcomes-oriented, comfortable navigating ambiguous or evolving client environments
  • Genuine curiosity about the consumer industry and how our products create value for clients

Qualifications

Required:

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8+ years of experience in client-facing technology consulting, professional services, or product delivery roles
  • Demonstrated experience leading small delivery teams and managing client engagements from scoping through go-live
  • Ability to travel 20-25%, on average, based on the work you do and the clients and industries/sectors you serve.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship, now or at any time in the future.

Preferred:

  • Experience delivering technology engagements within the consumer, retail, or transportation/hospitality sectors
  • Experience contributing to business development activities such as client pitches, proposals, or product demonstrations
