Job Description

Who we are:

ILO Group is an education-focused organization that was formed with the simple mission to do whatever it takes to help education leaders – from Governors, state education Chiefs, and superintendents – achieve their vision and to empower diverse system leaders and their teams to turn bold intentions into reality. True to ILO Group’s “In-the-Life-Of” approach, we pair deep systems expertise with immersive technical assistance and project and crisis management. We are known for our trusted advising, high impact track record, and excellence in service. We use applied thinking and services to create sustainable solutions anchored in everyday realities and adaptable to inevitable change. Ultimately, ILO Group is investing in leaders, and invested in change.

Who we are looking for:

Our ILO Group team is growing, and we are looking for Consultant-level team members who will primarily focus on client projects. The candidates we bring aboard in these roles will be responsible for project and workstream management, research and data analysis, document creation, and contributing insights to help our clients design and implement systemic reform initiatives at their respective districts and organizations.

You will be a great fit for this role if you have 3 – 7 years of work experience with progressively increasing management responsibility and analytics experience; knowledge of the K-12 education landscape; management consulting experience in either the public or commercial sectors; and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Why ILO Group:

Our clients are Chiefs of state education agencies, large school districts, and adjacent education organizations, who are committed to implementing initiatives to effect systemic education reform.

You will join a team of high performing and creative individuals who work tirelessly to support education leaders across the country in delivering a high-quality education to every student. In addition, as ILO Group is a “start-up”, you will have the opportunity to have a voice in the organization’s internal operations, decision making, and strategy. As ILO Group continues to grow, we are invested in the growth of our team as well. We anticipate various opportunities for consultants to grow in their expertise and skills in support of our clients and in partnership with their ILO Group teammates.
