Project Lead II

Why Globalization Excellence (GE) 

Zinnov’s Globalization Excellence (GE) practice helps enterprises build and scale Global Capability Centers (GCCs) end-to-end — from Design & Discovery to Build, Scale, and Run. 

In GE, you don’t work in silos. You: 

• Own complex, end-to-end client journeys 
• Work across GCC advisory, managed services, and BOT / outsourcing models 
• Influence leadership decisions that shape long-term talent and operating strategies 

This is where strategy meets execution — and where talent plays a defining role. 

About the Role 

As Project Lead II, you will own consulting engagements end-to-end and lead high-stakes workstreams across technology-led domains (TMT, Aerospace, Automotive, Manufacturing, Telecom, Semiconductors, Healthcare, and adjacent sectors). This role is designed for a hands-on consulting leader who can translate ambiguous client asks into structured problem statements, lead teams through deep research and analysis, and deliver crisp, decision-ready recommendations. 

You will work closely with Engagement Managers and senior leadership on project delivery and practice development, while also contributing to business development through solutioning, proposals, and client pitches. 

What You’ll Do 

End-to-End Project Delivery 

• Own engagement delivery from first contact to final output — scope, timelines, budgets, quality standards, and risk management. 

• Lead multiple projects in parallel; manage dependencies, risks, and execution trade-offs to ensure predictable delivery. 

• Drive “customer delight” through clear alignment, strong outputs, and high-quality client experience. 

Research & Insight Leadership 

• Guide teams on primary and secondary research approaches; ensure strong fact bases and data validation. 

• Review analysis to extract trends, patterns, and insights (qualitative and quantitative) that strengthen recommendations. 

• Validate strategic recommendations and ensure outputs are tight, defensible, and decision-useful. 

Client & Stakeholder Management 

• Own client communication and expectation management — requirements clarity, cadence, updates, and delivery alignment. 

• Engage effectively across CXO and senior stakeholders while also working seamlessly with working teams. 

• Manage research partner / external vendor relationships where applicable. 

Business Development & Solutioning 

• Contribute to business development by participating in client calls and pitching solutions. 

• Design engagement structures — resourcing plans, effort estimates, travel assumptions, and proposal/pricing inputs. 

• Develop proof-of-concepts when needed and shape proposal narratives and sales collateral. 

Practice & Organizational Development 

• Partner with senior leaders to drive practice priorities — vision, capabilities, and repeatable methodologies.
