About the Positions
We’re seeking Strategic Digital Transformation & PMIS Services Leaders to expand our owner-side digital transformation and PMIS advisory practice serving mega capital infrastructure construction programs across aviation, ports, rail/transit, transportation, utilities, energy, water, or public works sectors. You’ll lead executive discovery and roadmap work, shape PMIS strategy that ties governance, cost, schedule, risk, and reporting into a practical owner operating model, and partner with leadership to convert market opportunities into well-positioned scopes and account growth.

When a candidate is selected, their profile is activated in our talent pool for this specialty area. We notify our talent pool candidates first whenever we have a project need. While we are currently targeting the greater Los Angeles metro area, we welcome and will consider qualified candidates from anywhere in the continental United States. These positions require up to 50% travel.

- Partner with leadership and business development to translate market opportunities into well-positioned scopes, proposals, and account-expansion strategies.
- Develop proposal budgets for pursuit submittals.
- Forecast resource needs across the Digital Transformation practice as pursuits and engagements scale.
- Develop service-line messaging, advisory frameworks, and pursuit narratives that position Luster as a tool-agnostic owner advisor.

- Mentor team members and help mature Center of Excellence templates, methods, and delivery standards.
- Represent Luster in pursuits and client engagements where advisory judgment and infrastructure-sector credibility are critical.

- Infrastructure credibility rooted in capital programs, public agencies, and the realities of large, multi-stakeholder construction delivery.
- Tool-agnostic judgment, able to work across systems, workflows, and analytics platforms without defaulting to one software answer.
- Executive communication that lands with agency leaders, program executives, primes, and internal leadership alike.
- Builder orientation, comfortable creating structure, playbooks, and repeatable methods as the practice matures.
- Commercial awareness of how capture strategy, account expansion, and client trust translate into new scopes and service-line growth.

- Experience serving public infrastructure owners in an advisory capacity on PMIS or program controls strategy.
- Experience leading discovery-to-roadmap engagements and managing client relationships from strategy through implementation oversight.
- Working knowledge of public agency funding, procurement, governance, and executive-reporting requirements on capital infrastructure programs.
