Build Consulting is growing, and this is an opportunity to work with a diverse team with individual perspectives, experiences, and talents who bring this all together to transform nonprofits.

The ideal person has nonprofit technology experience working on a large, complex technology implementation that required them to use their skills to serve as a business analyst and project manager. We place equal value on strong interpersonal skills, ability to write focused and compelling findings and recommendations, and create clarity for our clients.

You will work on project teams with our senior management and technology consultants to organize and contribute to business and technology projects to help our clients transform.

Consultants play a central role to our projects and are motivated by understanding complex business/organizational requirements and their technology implications. Consultants help our clients align technology projects to broader technology and organization strategy.

Consultants will work on technology assessments, selections, and implementations where we guide nonprofits through strategies that result in meaningful, enduring impact on their mission. You will:

• interview key stakeholders
• evaluate key business systems,
• conduct research,
• help deliver forward-thinking and strategic recommendations.

You will have the opportunity to deepen your understanding of nonprofit technology solutions from diverse perspectives and develop your consulting and technology leadership skills.

You’ll partner with other Build Consulting team members with nonprofit technology experience in a project-oriented environment working with multiple clients. Though projects are typically executed by teams, much of your work will be performed independently from a home office or client site.
