Job description

Consultancy is a teamsport. And in this team, you play quarterback.

At Ciphix, we build things right and we build them fast. But speed and quality mean nothing if we are building the wrong thing. That is where you come in. You work with customers to figure out what the right thing actually is, what value means to them, and how to make sure that value does not stay on paper after go-live. You are involved from the first conversation to the moment the customer actually feels the impact.

You bridge business and technology with ease. You are analytical and conceptual, equally comfortable in a boardroom and with an operational team, and sharp enough to ask the question nobody else thought to ask. You take the work seriously, not yourself. And when you leave a customer, you leave something behind that lasts.

Your mission

You are involved early, often during the sales process, to help define what success looks like before a single line of code is written. You lead Sprint 0 workshops where stakeholders get aligned, processes get mapped, and assumptions get challenged. You manage two to three projects simultaneously, each at a different stage, which means you are constantly switching between strategic and operational, between customer and team, between the big picture and the detail that matters right now.

After go-live, your job is not done. You make sure the value you identified at the start is the value the customer actually captures. That is what it means to remember the name. Not just deliver and disappear, but turn value on paper into value in real life.

A typical week at Ciphix

No two days look the same, and that is by design. Early in the week you are at a customer two days running, embedded as product owner and agile coach. You know their team, their backlog, and what is keeping them up at night. You are not a visitor. You are part of how they operate.

Midweek you are at a new customer for a workshop. A new project, a blank slate, and a room full of stakeholders with different opinions about what the problem is. Your job is to ask the right questions, map what is actually going on, and leave with clarity where there was none before.

Later in the week you join the sales team for a Sprint 0 conversation. You help scope the project, set the right expectations, and make sure what gets promised is something that can actually be delivered. And to close out the week, you sit in on a steering committee meeting with a major customer. Strategic direction, long-term planning, decisions that will shape the next six months. You are there not just to listen, but to challenge, advise, and make sure the roadmap reflects what actually creates value.

That is a quarterback week. Reading the field at every level, making the right call, and keeping the team moving forward.
