Job description

Who We Are

At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. So why work at Kyndryl? We are always moving forward - always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.

The Role

The Opportunity

The largest modernization programs are often won or lost in the space between the deal and the delivery. They span applications, cloud, mainframe, and network & edge, involve many teams, and carry high expectations from day one. Clients need someone who keeps it all connected. As a Modernization Engagement Lead at Kyndryl, that someone is you.

You'll lead coordination across sales, architects, consulting, and delivery teams to make sure complex consulting and delivery programs succeed, from pre-sales through initial delivery. You'll make sure the solution is well scoped and truly deliverable, the commitments in the Statement of Work are clear, dependencies and risks are managed early, and the program launches with a strong start and stays on track.

This role is built for leaders who thrive on complexity, enjoy bringing teams and technologies together, and want to be accountable for getting large modernization programs off to a successful start.

Why You'll Love This Role

Make the biggest programs succeed. Work on large, complex modernization programs where strong coordination makes the difference between a good start and a great one.

Connect the whole journey. Follow a program from pre-sales conversations through solution definition, launch, and initial delivery, instead of handing it off at the first milestone.

Shape the solution, not just the schedule. Combine program leadership with hands-on technical solution management, from scoping and proof-of-concept framing to Statement of Work (SoW) creation and delivery readiness.

Lead across towers. Bring applications, cloud, mainframe, and network & edge together into one cohesive client solution.

Put AI to work. Use agentic AI capabilities and proven, repeatable modernization approaches to speed up execution and improve outcomes.

Partner across the business. Work alongside architects, engineering teams, account teams, and client business stakeholders to turn modernization strategy into measurable results.

Build a path to the top. This role leads toward senior modernization leadership (see Your Future at Kyndryl).

Kyndryl currently does not require employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, however, if you are hired to work at a client, customer, or partner location, you may be required to show proof of vaccination to align with their respective COVID-19 vaccination policies. Those who believe they are eligible may apply for a medical or religious accommodation prior to the start of employment.

Who You Are

Why Kyndryl:

We're a purpose-driven company committed to innovation and empowering our people. Here, your work contributes to meaningful outcomes for clients and communities.

Your Future at Kyndryl

Every position at Kyndryl offers a way forward to grow your career. We have opportunities that you won't find anywhere else, including hands-on experience, learning opportunities, and the chance to certify in all four major platforms. Whether you want to broaden your knowledge base or narrow your scope and specialize in a specific sector, you can find your opportunity here.

Kyndryl is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

Kyndryl is also committed to compliance with all fair employment practices regarding citizenship and immigration status.

What You'll Do

Coordinate from pre-sales to initial delivery

Lead coordination across sales, architects, consulting, legal, and delivery teams so that complex modernization programs are well shaped from pre-sales through launch and initial delivery.

Lead technical solution management, including scoping, proof-of-concept (PoC) framing, assumptions, dependencies, baselining, and delivery readiness.

Own or contribute to SoW creation and review, with clear deliverables, acceptance criteria, and execution model, so that what is sold is what can be delivered.

Guide the transition from pre-sales to delivery, and stay engaged through initial delivery to confirm early milestones are met and the program is on track.

Orchestrate complex, multi-tower programs

Coordinate cross-tower teams, delivery plans, dependencies, risks, and mitigation actions across the modernization landscape.

Stitch together a single, optimized modernization solution that spans domains such as application modernization, cloud migration and modernization, mainframe modernization, and network & edge modernization.

Drive modernization execution across subdomains such as application management services (AMS), SDLC transformation, AppMod, Mainframe Mod, Platform Engineering, Data Center Networks, and Edge Networks.

Tell the story and bring the tools

Build and deliver client-facing presentations with strong content, narrative framing, and a clear value proposition.

Apply agentic AI capabilities and proven modernization playbooks to strengthen execution and outcomes.

What Success Looks Like

Large modernization programs move smoothly from deal to delivery, with a confident launch and a strong start.

The commitments in the SoW match what delivery teams can achieve, so clients get what they were promised.

Risks and dependencies are identified and managed early, before they become surprises.

Clients experience one cohesive team and one clear point of coordination, not a collection of separate workstreams.

What You Bring

Core qualifications

5 years experience coordinating or leading complex, large-scale modernization programs, from pre-sales and solutioning through delivery.

5 years experience with broad modernization expertise across applications, cloud, mainframe, and network & edge, and the ability to unify multiple solution components into a single client solution.

Ability to consolidate and integrate technical solutions across towers into a cohesive modernization program.

Strong hands-on technical solution leadership, including scoping and PoC framing; assumptions, dependencies, and baselining; and SoW creation and review.

Strong client communication and presentation skills, including content creation, narrative framing, storytelling, and value proposition articulation.

Experience applying AI-enabled tools and repeatable modernization frameworks to shape or run modernization execution.

Nice to have

Experience with large, strategic deals and their delivery, including complex stakeholder management and governance.

Experience running modernization in hybrid estates that involve multiple platforms and cross-tower execution (for example, mainframe, distributed, cloud, and network/security).

A track record of driving risk management, dependency orchestration, and delivery predictability at scale.

Who you are

You're a leader who brings clarity to complexity and builds trust across sales, consulting, and delivery teams. You put customer success first and work openly, collaboratively, and inclusively across teams and towers. If you meet most of the requirements above and the work excites you, we encourage you to apply.

Travel

You'll travel globally at least 25% of the time to meet clients, lead workshops, and work side by side with delivery teams.

The compensation range for the position in the U.S. is - $156,360 to $296,880 based on a full-time schedule. Your actual compensation may vary depending on your geography, job-related skills and experience.

For part time roles, the compensation will be adjusted appropriately. The pay or salary range will not be below any applicable state, city or local minimum wage requirement.

There is a different applicable compensation range for the following work locations:

California (San Francisco Bay Area): $187,560 to $356,280 California (All Other): $171,960 to $326,520

This position will be eligible for Kyndryl's discretionary annual bonus program, based on performance and subject to the terms of Kyndryl's applicable plans.

You may also receive a comprehensive benefits package which includes medical and dental coverage, disability, retirement benefits, paid leave, and paid time off. Note: If this is a sales commission eligible role, you will be eligible to participate in a sales commission plan in lieu of the annual discretionary bonus program.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.

About the role

This is a Senior Level role in the Technology field (Data, analytics and AI) at Kyndryl. Senior roles usually expect substantial experience, ownership of results and often the ability to guide others.

We could not match this job title to one occupation in the official wage statistics, so no pay estimate is shown. Pay is not in the source listing; ask the employer for the range and compare in the 240 job niches.

Does the pay work here? (estimate)

Gross salary a year Filing State income tax rate %

Estimate for a wage earner: 2026 federal brackets and standard deduction (IRS), Social Security 6.2% up to $184,500, Medicare 1.45% (+0.9% above $200,000 single / $250,000 married), and a state rate you set; set your own state tax rate. It ignores credits, pre-tax deductions, local taxes and benefits. Sources: IRS: tax year 2026 inflation adjustments · SSA wage base per Federal Register notice 2025-19763.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.
Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

The city

The job is in Dallas, TX. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Dallas compares. Among the 120 largest places in Texas, Dallas is #3 by population, #112 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #42 for remote work (#1 = most), #46 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Dallas County, is #8 of 254 counties for average pay ($89,284).

The place in numbers

Dallas has 1,307,930 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 4.3% of the population of Texas. It covers 340 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,850 people per square mile. The median age is 33.4, 6% younger than the state median (33.4 against 35.6).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,472 a month (rent plus utilities), 5% above the state median ($1,472 against $1,403). Over a year that is 25.0% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $320,700, which is 4.5 times the median household income ($70,518). 42.4% of households own their home, 32% below the state average (42.4% against 62.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metropolitan area has 4,049,800 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $51,440 a year, about the same as the national median ($51,440 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (490,190 jobs, median $47,080); transportation and material moving (423,430 jobs, median $44,570); management (379,320 jobs, median $128,140). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.4 times) and management (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($128,140) and computer and mathematical ($121,440). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Dallas County was 4.2%. 68.6% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Dallas County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 66.6% drive alone, 2.1% use public transit, 2.1% walk, 15.8% work from home. 14.1% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 17% below the state average (14.1% against 16.9%).

People and education

38.2% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 13% above the state share (38.2% against 33.8%). 23.4% of residents were born outside the United States, 33% above the state share (23.4% against 17.6%). The poverty rate is 16.7%, 21% above the state rate (16.7% against 13.8%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 86°F (30.1°C), and the coolest is Jan at 44°F (6.4°C). About 921 mm (36 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (116 mm) and Jul the driest (55 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Mesquite (11 miles, similar rent); Garland (11 miles, rent 11% higher); Farmers Branch (11 miles, rent 27% higher); Irving (13 miles, rent 10% higher). Rent differences are against Dallas; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
