Position Overview
GrayMatter is dedicated to building a team of unmatched talent in industrial technology. Our culture is rooted in five core values: Accountability, Integrity, Respect, Innovation, and Teamwork. We are seeking a Senior Manager to join our Digital Transformation (DTx) practice.

You will act as a high-level advisor to our clients, building the business case for Industry 4.0 and navigating the complexities of Operational Technology (OT) environments. The ideal candidate is comfortable in pre-sales, adept at managing complex client relationships, and capable of translating technical requirements into enterprise value. You will lead cross-functional teams to modernize supply chains, manufacturing facilities, and critical infrastructure (Water/Wastewater, Data Centers).
