Are you ready to make an impact?

Director, TechEx, Software Engineering

From building customer-facing software to integrating complex platforms and modernizing legacy systems, we help clients use technology to solve important business problems. We bring software engineering, cloud, data, and AI together to design and deliver secure, scalable solutions. This includes embedding AI capabilities into applications and platforms, modernizing systems to support AI, and helping engineering teams adopt AI across the software development lifecycle.

As a Director in our Technology & Experience Practice Software discipline, you will help clients turn AI opportunities into practical engineering solutions. You will build client relationships, shape new opportunities, and lead teams delivering custom software, AI-enabled applications, platform integration, legacy modernization, and engineering transformation. You will help clients move from AI experimentation to production by aligning business needs with architecture, data, integration, security, governance, and delivery plans. You should be passionate about solving business problems with technology and ready to contribute to West Monroe’s fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment.

What will you be doing?

The primary responsibility of this role is business development: winning new clients, growing existing relationships, and partnering with our industry teams to generate opportunities across the practice. You will focus on software engineering, modernization, and applying AI to technology solutions and delivery. You will also own client relationships, lead engagements, ensure strong delivery outcomes and client satisfaction, and help grow our engineering and AI capabilities.

As a Director within West Monroe, you are responsible for:

  • Lead and collaborate with industry segment teams and key accounts on account planning and growth.
  • Use your network of technology, engineering, and AI executives, including CIOs, CTOs, Chief Digital Officers, and software engineering leaders—to secure executive introductions and generate new business.
  • Identify opportunities where software engineering, modernization, and AI can address client priorities. Shape solutions, develop proposals and SOWs, apply onshore and nearshore delivery models, build client relationships, and close deals.
  • Help clients define practical paths from AI strategy and experimentation to production solutions, including AI-enabled applications, intelligent agents, and AI-supported engineering workflows.
  • Develop go-to-market messaging and sales materials that explain how West Monroe applies AI within software engineering and modernization engagements.
  • Create work plans, pricing estimates, and risk assessments for potential engagements, including plans that address data, architecture, integration, security, governance, and adoption considerations.
  • Contribute thought leadership on AI-enabled software engineering
