**ABOUT ENVISION CONSULTING**:
We are a boutique consulting firm specializing in services to the not-for-profit sector. We are based in Pasadena and work with nonprofit clients nationwide.

We build leaders in the nonprofit industry, which means we need to be leaders ourselves - we're nimble, we're industrious, and we are always building and innovating.

**THE JOB EXPERIENCE**
We are looking for exceptional leaders. That's where you come in. You could run your own consulting firm, or maybe you have thought about it. You're a self-starter. After years in the nonprofit space, you are comfortable leading a hiring process or leading a complex project, from the initial zoom, to preparing decks, to interviews, research and more. You're more than a good delegator; your work is backed up by meticulous planning, documentation, and outstanding reports and presentations. You are a team player, expected to come into the office and play an active role in building our brand and culture. You are a nonprofit expert. You've done it all from holding a leadership position at a nonprofit organization to volunteering on a fundraising committee.
