Manage end-to-end project execution, ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget. Collaborate closely with project teams to define adoption strategies and rollout plans, ensuring change management approaches effectively support team and stakeholder buy-in. Identify and implement process improvement opportunities within projects to increase efficiency and reduce redundancies. Produce polished, client-ready deliverables that influence decision-making at the director/project sponsor level. Build stakeholder relationships by building and nurturing strong relationships with clients and key stakeholders, establishing trust and credibility. Anticipate stakeholder needs, proactively address concerns, and ensure client satisfaction through high-touch engagement. Contribute to client growth by identifying additional opportunities where Propeller can add value. Compensation: We believe in fairly and equitably compensating our employees for their time, skills, and experience. The hiring base salary range for this position is $129,000 $148,800, which represents a portion of the role's overall pay range. Individual starting salaries are determined based on factors such as relevant experience, specific skill sets, marketability to clients, and internal pay equity. Base pay ranges are reviewed and updated annually, with opportunities for increases based on performance. This role is also eligible for a performance-based bonus, targeted between 48% of base salary, based on individual and company performance.

In some cases, consultants work full-time at their client sites. Exact schedules vary by client engagement. Applicants should currently live in the area where the job is posted or plan to relocate upon hire. Travel: We strive to keep consultants rooted in their local community, minimizing out-of-market travel. This is balanced with an all-firm staffing model and a desire to accommodate growing client demand for in-person work. While some travel may be necessary, it is capped at 25% for this role. We prioritize a tailored approach to travel, taking into consideration individual preferences in project assignments. Hiring Process: The hiring process typically involves four interviews over 46 weeks. However, the timeline for this role may vary depending on our clients' evolving needs. Please note that any offers extended for this position are contingent upon an available project, and as such, start dates may vary.
