Lead Business Execution Consultant - Hybrid

Genesis10 is currently seeking a Lead Business Execution Consultant - Hybrid position with a Global Financial Institution located in West Des Moines, IA. This is a 6+ month contract opportunity.

Unsecured Lending Operations is seeking a senior contractor to provide operational planning, tactical execution, and project management support for a portfolio of AI initiatives. This person will turn strategic priorities into executable plans, coordinate work across business and key partners in a highly matrixed and complex environment, manage risks and dependencies, and provide leaders with clear visibility into progress and decisions. This is not a technical AI-development role; we need an experienced business execution leader who can bring structure to ambiguity, drive accountability, and move complex initiatives from planning through implementation.

Responsibilities:

• Translate AI priorities into clear work plans, milestones, deliverables, owners, and target dates
• Lead day-to-day execution across multiple initiatives, pilots, and operational readiness activities
• Maintain integrated project plans, action logs, decision trackers, risk and issue logs, and dependency maps
• Coordinate activities across Operations, Product, Technology, Risk, Compliance, Finance, change management, and other partners
• Facilitate working sessions, document decisions, and drive timely completion of follow-up actions
• Identify execution gaps, competing priorities, resource constraints, and delivery risks before they affect outcomes
• Escalate issues with a clear summary of the impact, available options, and recommended action
• Coordinate business requirements, testing, implementation readiness, communications, training dependencies, and transition into ongoing operations
• Prepare concise executive updates that highlight progress, risks, decisions, dependencies, and next steps
• Establish repeatable execution routines, templates, and governance practices that can scale across AI initiatives

Requirements:

• 5+ years of Business Execution, Implementation, or Strategic Planning experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work or consulting experience, training, military experience, education
• Substantial experience leading complex business execution, project management, operational planning, or transformation initiatives
• Demonstrated success managing multiple cross-functional workstreams with competing priorities and interdependent deliverables
• Experience converting ambiguous objectives into structured plans, clear ownership, and executable actions
• Strong project-management discipline, including milestone management, risk identification, dependency tracking, decision management, and status reporting
• Experience influencing and driving accountability across teams without direct authority
• Strong facilitation and stakeholder-management skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to create concise, executive-ready materials
• Ability to work independently, anticipate needs, resolve problems, and maintain momentum in a rapidly changing environment
• Experience working within a large, complex, or regulated organization
• Strong proficiency with PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Teams, and standard project-management tools

Desired skills:

• Experience supporting AI, automation, digital transformation, process redesign, or technology implementation
• Experience in financial services, consumer lending, servicing, collections, contact centers, or operations
• Experience supporting pilots, proofs of concept, business requirements, testing, implementation readiness, and post-launch transition
• Experience partnering with Operations, Product, Technology, Risk, Compliance, Finance, and change-management teams

Pay range: $51.09 - $59.09 per hour
