About The Position

Strata Information Group (SIG) is a trusted leader in higher-education technology consulting, supporting colleges and universities with ERP/SIS modernization, digital transformation, CRM, cybersecurity, and strategic advisory services. As a long-standing and deeply embedded partner within the higher-education sector, SIG brings together technical depth, operational insight, and a culture rooted in integrity, collaboration, and exceptional client service. Our heritage is built on hands-on expertise, genuine relationships, and a commitment to delivering value with humility and excellence—values that continue to define us as we scale. SIG is seeking a Senior Consultant to specialize in Business Process and Change Management. The underlying premise of SIG’s BPA methodology is that technology alone cannot solve process issues. But that technology, in concert with reimagining the process, can result in significant gains. By assembling stakeholders around the same table at the same time, the team can take a step back, map the current process, and identify the obstacles and opportunities for improvement. In our experience, by gathering people at the table together – from the beginning of a project – the likelihood of success increases significantly; not simply making marginal improvements, but transformational change. These workshops not only set the trajectory toward “ideal” processes that take full advantage of the technology, they build consensus and momentum for change. This position travels 50-75% of the time to client sites, the remaining time is remote from home. This role combines process analysis, stakeholder engagement, and change leadership to assess current operations, identify improvement opportunities, and design sustainable future-state solutions across functional areas such as Admissions, Financial Aid, Student Accounts, Finance, HR, Payroll, and Academic Affairs. The ideal candidate excels at facilitating workshops, mapping business processes, evaluating technology and SaaS readiness, and translating findings into actionable recommendations. They must also be skilled at navigating complex organizational dynamics, building trust with stakeholders at all levels, and driving adoption of new processes and ways of working through effective communication, critical thinking, and change management strategies.
