Oakland, United States Heller Consulting Full time
  • Overview

    A Strategy consultant at Heller Consulting is expected to serve as an example of the firm's philosophy when managing clients and projects, and is expected to work on and take leadership roles in the firm's most complex and challenging Strategy projects.

    To be successful, a Strategy consultant must have knowledge of non-profit operations and experience with technology systems utilized by the nonprofit and/or higher education sectors. A Strategist builds relationships of trust with key stakeholders at organizations, listening to their needs and pain points, understanding their current ecosystem of people, processes, and technology, and clarifying what it is they want to achieve. Depending on the nature of the engagement, a Strategy consultant may be asked to evaluate the suitability of existing and available technology solutions, analyze processes, identify gaps, confidently make recommendations for improvements or new solutions, facilitate decision-making, map out implementation plans, provide strategic leadership, and/or guide the client through successful, sustainable change.

    A Strategist must be able to juggle multiple projects at once and successfully work as part of a team, collaborating with peers and clients while building consensus. Because most of the work is client facing, communication skills and a genuine interest in helping people and nonprofits are crucial. In addition to consulting duties, this position participates in the firm's growth by offering constructive feedback and working on initiatives that enhance the firm's strategies and priorities.

    This is a remote role for a fully virtual company. Some company-funded travel may be expected.
