About this opportunity
Artemis Connection, LLC lists this Engagement Manager opportunity in seattle, Washington. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.
Job description
Artemis Connection is a strategic management consultancy working across the for-profit, public and social sectors. We help clients around the world identify their most pressing strategic issues and we staff teams of strategy consultants to roll up their sleeves and deliver impact. We are passionate about helping innovative and entrepreneurial leaders reach their goals through a customized project-based approach, typically focused around:
Bespoke Innovation, Sales, and Marketing Strategy
Purpose-driven Transformation
Embedded Strategy and Operations roles
Our founder is Christy Johnson, an entrepreneur, educator, and former McKinsey Engagement Manager. Our advisors include HR officers, executive coaches, academics, entrepreneurs, and neuroscientists. Our team is made up of seasoned consultants, trained at organizations such as McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain, Big 4 Strategy, and elite educational institutions.
What makes Artemis Connection unique is the opportunity to combine this first-rate consulting experience with the flexibility that many other consulting firms don’t offer. In short, we’re a consulting firm for experienced top-tier consultants who still want to deliver exemplary value for clients but who need more flexibility in their professional and personal lives. Specifically, we’re flexible with where you want to work and how many hours you want to work – meaning no rigid expectations of being at the client every day, living in a certain city, or clocking in a full 50 hours (or more) each week, whilst still delivering exceptional results for our clients.
Currently, our team members are spread across the country, engaging with clients remotely (occasionally on-site, as client needs dictate) and working varied hours (ranging from 10 hours/week to 55 hours/week) . We offer market-rate compensation based on the outcomes that you deliver and the number of hours and weeks that you will be leading project work, plus bonuses for bringing in new clients.
Given our flexible structure and smaller size, we tend to bring on new team members in a “trial-to-hire” capacity. In other words, we initially hire individuals as independent contractors for discrete client projects , and then, after successful projects completion and mutual determination of “fit”, we may move towards a more permanent employment arrangement.
