Strategic Advisor/Executive-in-Residence

Voluminant is seeking a seasoned, entrepreneurial-minded Strategic Advisor or Executive-in-Residence to help shape the next chapter of our growth. This is not a traditional consulting gig — it’s a rare opportunity to co-create new offerings, pursue high-value partnerships, and guide the direction of a lean, ambitious firm on the rise.

We’re looking for someone with big firm consulting experience, a strong instinct for business development, and the desire to get in on the ground floor of something that’s growing fast. If there’s mutual alignment, this role can evolve into a Founding Partner position, complete with long-term equity and strategic ownership.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as a trusted strategic advisor to the CEO and leadership team on client growth, offerings, and positioning.
• Lead or co-lead high-impact engagements with clients, helping to define Voluminant’s value proposition in emerging or underserved markets.
• Identify and pursue new business development opportunities, with a focus on federal, state/local government, and mid-market enterprise clients.
• Contribute to proposal writing, client presentations, and early-stage project design.
• Shape the firm’s intellectual capital — workshops, frameworks, and strategic insights that we take to market.
• Provide guidance on scaling operations, partnerships, and delivery models.
• Collaborate on investment strategy and play a key role in building long-term strategic partnerships.

What We’re Looking For:

• 7–15 years of consulting experience, ideally with a top-tier or mid-sized consulting firm (e.g., Accenture, Deloitte, Booz Allen, etc.).
• A track record of closing business, building trusted client relationships, and driving project delivery.
• Entrepreneurial mindset — someone who thrives in ambiguity and sees possibility in complexity.
• Strong communication and executive presence; confident in the boardroom or briefing room.
• Comfortable wearing multiple hats and working hands-on with limited infrastructure.
• Bonus if you’ve built or scaled a business unit, practice area, or professional services firm.

Why This Role is Different:

• You’re not just an advisor. You’re stepping into a core leadership circle.
• No bureaucracy. Just ideas, execution, and results.
• Path to ownership. If there’s alignment, this becomes a Founding Partner track.
• Real impact. You’ll help re-imagine consulting for a new era — more agile, practical, and human.

Compensation:

• Modest initial stipend or project-based compensation
• Generous incentive and success-sharing for deals or wins brought in
• Option to negotiate equity, revenue share, or Founding Partner status based on contribution and commitment
