Business Manager Consultant

*We are actively seeking candidates based in Washington state or Texas with business management or chief of staff experience. Ideal candidates will have a proven track record of supporting enterprise-level clients in a consulting capacity. Our goal is to build a strong consultant roster for both current and future client projects.*

Work Location Flexibility: Currently, this role provides the option for remote work; however, flexibility from our consultants is crucial for both our team and clients. Our project activities are dictated by client requirements, which, at times, might necessitate in-person collaboration. Should a client’s onsite or return-to-office policy evolve, consultants must comply with those expectations. We strive to offer as much advance notice and assistance as possible in such circumstances that arise.

As a Business Manager Consultant for AG Consulting Partners, a typical day might include the following:

• Driving strategic planning processes, ensuring alignment with corporate objectives and integration across the organization.
• Executing business continuity plans to maintain operations during adverse conditions, adhering to corporate governance standards.
• Establishing best practices for strategy development by consolidating information, advocating for business cases, and presenting proposals to leadership and stakeholders.
• Designing budgets informed by organizational strategy and upcoming deliverables.
• Monitoring team health and supporting leadership in addressing cultural issues, while leading initiatives to enhance organizational culture.
• Managing the rhythm of business by coordinating key meetings, executive briefings, and planning cycles to ensure alignment across teams.
• Acting as a strategic point of contact for executive-level clients, translating their vision into actionable initiatives for the organization.
• Communicating executive priorities and ensuring alignment across business units through clear and structured messaging.
• Creating strategic walking decks that effectively convey key insights, business priorities, and decision points for executive stakeholders.

This job is for you if:

• You thrive on solving complex problems. You enjoy thinking outside the box, approaching challenges with creativity, and finding innovative solutions. If an answer isn’t immediately clear, you dig deeper and explore new perspectives until you find the right approach.
• You are highly strategic and know when to escalate. You can assess situations, understand what actions you can take, and recognize when a decision needs to be escalated to your executive client—always ensuring the right issues reach the right level at the right time.
• You build strong relationships with executive clients. You understand the importance of trust, credibility, and proactive support in working closely with executive leaders. You anticipate their needs and create a seamless partnership that enables them to focus on high-impact priorities.
• You excel in high-pressure situations. You remain calm and solutions-oriented, even in fast-moving or ambiguous environments. You embrace challenges as opportunities to bring structure and clarity.
• You influence without authority. You hold others accountable and help drive decision-making, even when you’re not the final decision-maker. You understand how to guide stakeholders toward alignment and action.
• You are detail-oriented and take pride in getting things right. Whether managing key deliverables, coordinating executive briefings, or preparing strategic presentations, you ensure everything is accurate, polished, and impactful.
• You’re a lifelong learner. You approach every situation as an opportunity to expand your knowledge and improve your approach. You’re open to feedback and continuously refine your skills to stay ahead.
