<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The <strong>Engagement Lead (Director) with Commercial Digital Transformation experience</strong> is a senior, accountable leader for a complex Department of War client engagement. This consulting leadership role requires the ability to independently navigate ambiguous client situations, become a trusted adviser to senior leaders, identify how ASI can best support client needs, and translate strategy into disciplined execution and executive-quality deliverables.

<p><br><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The role begins as a hands-on individual contributor or lean-team leader.

The Engagement Lead works in close partnership with another ASI Engagement Lead who brings deep government experience, combining consulting expertise and delivery discipline with established client relationships, institutional knowledge, and subject-matter expertise.</span></p>
