Why Join SAI We really are different. We focus on people, process, and technology in that order. Were not a reseller and dont want to be one. Our clients look to us to drive lasting strategic changes, not small-time commodity technology upgrades. We work together to solve problems. Its not unusual to tap resources from our digital or product teams to brainstorm on the best approach to help clients succeed. Our entire team, up to and including the CEO, can be found rolling up their sleeves to solve problems. Our team members strive to exemplify humble, hungry, and smart with every interaction we have with each other and with our clients. Were focused on balancing hard work with fun in an environment that eschews office politics and unproductive practices. Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It Lead and work alongside our team on client engagements focused on leveraging information technology to improve client organizations. This may include various projects along the way that touch on infrastructure planning, application architecture, business process reengineering, org design, disaster recovery, and more. Your priority will always be delivering results for our clients. Actively participate in business development activities including the development of marketing materials, collaborating with our sales team, identifying and scoping opportunities, and working with our existing client base to drive referrals to new business. Grow your skills to continually adapt to an ever-evolving marketplace. The skills you bring to the table today will be inherently different than our needs tomorrow. Be ready to learn and challenge both yourself and your team to align with whats coming next. Ideal Candidate Attributes Our best consultants are born problem solvers and are passionate about applying their knowledge in the real world. They are technology savvy but are inherently people oriented and focused on how technology can transform clients organizations. They constantly seek out knowledge on their own through professional development opportunities, relationships with industry peers, and by exploring how to apply new concepts or technologies in ways that delight our clients. Great ideas can only get you so far. Our team members must have well-honed communications skills and be comfortable producing written deliverables suitable for an executive audience. The same goes for verbal skills. We expect team members to be able to present to and properly address audiences that may include client executive teams and boards, IT departments, or other stakeholders. Business development is an inherent part of our business. Senior consultants are a critical component to making our practice sustainable. Our best consultants understand how to assemble our services to meet client needs. They produce blog posts and other content to arm our sales team with the right tools. They also are ready, willing, and able to leverage their networks and contacts to help find new business for the company. SAI in turn, rewards that effort through results-based incentives. We expect anyone in this role to be able to lead projects with teams that include a mix of our staff and client staff. Beyond that, we expect that while some consultants excel as individual contributors, others may want to grow into Practice Leaders and lead larger groups within SAI. Were ready to support your growth in either direction. Our team recruits from a diverse set of career backgrounds. Junior roles typically have limited consulting experience but bring technical capabilities, entrepreneurial spirit, and some industry exposure to the table. Senior Consultants who want to become Practice Leaders need to be comfortable in a player/coach role, where they help to develop and shape those team members in addition to delivering results for clients. One final thing this role is very focused on dealing with people. If youre looking for a highly technical role where youre putting hands on the keyboard regularly, this role is probably not a fit and you might not be happy in it.
