Consulting Lead

Consulting Lead - Remote About OVG At OVG we help Finance organizations create value with our unique Agentic Performance Management (APM) approach. We are in the early innings of the AI revolution, which is happening at lightspeed. Our goal is to equip our clients to thrive in the new paradigm with AI-native processes, systems, and skillsets for performance management. We are taking a different approach from most consulting firms and software providers. Our APM solutions are not built on specialized CPM software - they are designed to disrupt traditional ‘do-it-all’ CPM tools. Built on open and interoperable Microsoft platforms – Fabric, Power Platform, M365, and Foundry – our APM solutions are more scalable, flexible, cost-effective, and cross-functional than CPM alternatives, with AI helping to reduce previously insurmountable technical barriers. Our goal is to provide our clients with the best possible solutions, and we have already proven that our APM approach is both viable and effective with the majority of our client base.
