About Elevate Consulting

Elevate is a business management consulting firm. This means we help our clients solve problems. We provide a wide range of services including planning, organizational transformation, change management, stakeholder engagement, procurement and more. We work on both small short-term projects and large multi-year complex projects. We are dedicated to understanding the true needs of our clients and working with them to identify optimum solutions tailored to address those needs.

Why work with us

You need a passion for service to work here. Our greatest joy is seeing others succeed. We take pride in providing quality work and we have a lot of fun doing it. This is a place for people who are committed to providing the best results; perfectionists; and people who are energized by challenges. If you think being a consultant is all about going to meetings and telling people what you think they should do, then you won’t fit in here. Consulting is hard and challenging work. We produce and deliver a significant amount for our clients. They expect a lot from us, and we demand a lot from our team members. We are a small firm, so every team member is expected to be actively engaged on leading or supporting projects – from project management to facilitation to the creation of deliverables, and everything in between. And we love it!  

Beyond this, we offer an extensive total rewards package, including:  

• Competitive base salary   
• Comprehensive extended health benefits  
• Health Spending Account   
• Flexible, hybrid work model  
• And much more!

In the interest of our time and yours, please don't apply if you

• Can’t handle multiple competing priorities.  
• Aren’t comfortable in a self-starting, autonomous environment.  
• Like the sound of your own voice more than the clients’ or the team's.
