Consultant - Business Operations / Management
About The Position
Work directly with privately held, owner-led businesses to materially improve operational performance, financial controls, and long-term profitability. What sets Cogent Analytics apart is also the defining expectation of this role: we are a client-centric, hands-on consulting firm, and our Project Directors operate as the ownerâs boots-on-the-ground co-CEO. For that reason, this role requires 100% domestic travel. Important Fit Note: If your background centers on project coordination, Agile/Scrum facilitation, workflow boards, timeline management, or status reporting, this role will not align with your experience. ROLE SUMMARY Business Consultant Project Directors work directly alongside business owners and leadership teams to install the operational, financial, organizational, and accountability systems required to run effectively and scale sustainably. Just as critical, they coach owners and stakeholders at every level to adopt new ways of thinking, operating, and leading, ensuring changes are understood, embraced, and sustained. This is hands-on, on-site transformation work that demands a roll-up-your-sleeves mindset and active leadership, not project oversight. The Project Director leads the client relationship from initial engagement through measurable outcomes, ensuring operational and financial improvement. Key responsibilities include driving financial performance, guiding organizational change, coaching ownership and employees, and managing the full lifecycle of the consulting engagement.
