Part Time Advisor - Business Analytics

Description

Spinnaker Consulting Group is different from other consulting organizations. We are a hands-on firm built around a team of experts with real-world experience who help companies navigate complex business challenges.

We are changing the consulting game because we are doers, working side by side with our clients to do what needs to be done to solve problems and drive results. In short, we're striving to be the consultants we wish we could have hired.

We are looking for dynamic professionals to join our team on a part time basis.

The Advisor Role:

The Advisor role is a unique position, and it’s not for everyone. It is an on-demand role, paid hourly when client engagements that fit your skills arise. Candidates who may find this a great opportunity include:

• Individuals with their own solo-practitioner consultancy (or other small business) who may welcome additional engagement opportunities to supplement their own endeavors and income
• Semi-retired individuals, or people on sabbatical, who want to keep their skills sharp, but who are not seeking full time work and who welcome breaks between engagements
• Individuals who seek part time work to stay engaged in the workforce on a variable basis, while maintaining flexibility

Advisors are always empowered to turn down engagements if for whatever reason the work, the timing, or other factor doesn’t appeal to them. They’ll be kept in mind for the next suitable opportunity that arises.

Advisors go through the same interviewing process for skills, experience, and cultural fit as full-time consultants. It is critical to Spinnaker that this is a good two-way fit. In fact, some Advisors have transitioned into full time Consultant roles, while some Consultants have transitioned into Advisor roles. If the idea of flexible work appeals to you, keep reading!
