Senior Consultant - Business Analysis

Reporting to: Senior Manager, Consulting Function: Consulting, Customer Experience (CX) Role Overview The Senior Consultant is a customer-facing delivery role at the heart of Aurigo’s consulting practice. You work directly with public agency customers—DOTs, cities, counties, and government programs—to implement Masterworks and drive measurable value from their capital programs. You are developing from a structured implementer into a trusted advisor: someone who understands the customer’s real business problem, not just their stated requirements, and who guides them toward better ways of operating. The primary mechanism for that development is proximity—you work alongside Principal Consultants who already operate at the advisory standard, and you are expected to absorb, practice, and grow toward it in every engagement. This is not a BA role. You are expected to bring functional consulting instincts: asking before telling, challenging the stated requirement when needed, and framing your work in terms of customer outcomes, not product features. Where This Role Sits You sit within Aurigo’s CX Consulting function, reporting to the Senior Manager, Consulting. You work in close partnership with Project Managers, Customer Success Managers, and Solution Engineers on every engagement. On specific engagements, you will work alongside Forward Deployed Engineers who bring technical depth to agentic configuration; you own the consulting and business process side of that partnership. All roles are Individual Contributor. Aurigo invests in deep expertise at every level of the IC track.
