Leadership Consultant - Director & Senior Director Levels

Location: Open to hiring in San Francisco, Chicago or New York City.

What You’ll Do at BTS

BTS is a consultancy specializing in the people side of strategy. For over three decades we’ve been designing powerful experiences that have a profound and lasting impact on businesses and their people. We help the world’s leading companies turn strategy into results.

Our next-generation approach combines deep business knowledge with transformational development to help people and their company evolve together. We equip leaders for tomorrow, inspire new ways of thinking, and build critical capabilities through targeted interventions, including working sessions, workshops, offsites, and more.

As a Strategy Execution Consultant at the Director or Senior Director level, you’ll work directly with leaders from the world’s leading and largest corporations. You’ll learn how their strategies and businesses work, and you’ll shape capabilities across the organization.

We work in small teams to develop designed experiences - think customized business simulations with financial models, or app-based digital learning, – then we facilitate these engagements with our clients in working sessions that incorporates humor, fun, and competition. You’re the team leader and client manager as well as the facilitator and coach who makes these experiences impactful and memorable.

There are no industry verticals at BTS, and you will work with a variety of clients on different types of projects. You’ll be staffed on multiple engagements at one time, across different industries, and with different internal teams. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work across our company’s areas of expertise: Strategic Alignment, Business Acumen, Sales & Marketing, and Leadership Development.

When you’re not facilitating an offsite with your team, you’ll spend your time leading the team in designing these amazing experiences - interviewing clients, conducting research and analysis, testing programs, and learning – as well as finding and closing opportunities to expand BTS work with existing clients or bring our impact to new clients. As a Director or Senior Director at BTS, a significant part of your role is to be an entrepreneurial-minded business generator who drives results and revenue for BTS. Project and account leadership are also important components of your work at this level, as well as being a manager and growing the careers of other BTSers.

We have a hybrid work environment with expectations of being in the office 50% of the time when you’re not traveling. As for travel, we do that differently than most consulting firms: you’ll travel when you are leading clients through the designed experiences you and your teammates create. On average you’ll travel 30-50% of the time, occasionally more than 50%, occasionally less than 30%.
