Who You’ll Work With The Consultant will partner with other Build Consulting team members with nonprofit technology experience in a project-oriented environment, working with multiple clients. Projects are typically performed by teams and, at times, by individual consultants. Since our team members are distributed across the U.S., most work will be performed remotely from a home office or client site.

What You’ll Do Consultants will work on technology assessments, selections, and implementations, guiding nonprofits through strategies that result in meaningful, enduring impact on their mission. You will:

• • Help deliver clear, engaging, and strategic recommendations.
  • Engage key internal experts, conduct research, and evaluate key business systems.
  • Interview and engage key stakeholders.
  • Apply nonprofit technology and data experience to understand complex business/organizational requirements and their technology implications.

Professional Development Through our work and collaboration with our talented team, we are committed to creating opportunities for growth and professional development, underpinned by a strong culture that emphasizes work/life balance. In addition to deep nonprofit technology experience, you must have strong organizational and project management skills, strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to contribute to focused and compelling findings and recommendations, creating clarity for our clients. Together, we develop holistic, compelling, and actionable plans and projects that lead to transformation at our clients while building meaningful, lasting relationships.

Our benefits include:

• Work/life balance
• Remote work
• Unlimited PTO
• 401(k) employer matching contributions (4% match)
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Health Savings Account (HSA)
• Long-term disability
• Technology stipend
• Employer-sponsored volunteerism

What doesn’t fit neatly under a bullet point is perhaps one of our most cherished benefits: the opportunity to learn. We value, promote, and create formal and informal learning opportunities for all of our team members.
