A Day in the Life

The President of the Consulting Division is responsible for the full operational and financial leadership of our global Consulting segment, a $500M+ revenue business with approximately 1,500 employees operating across multiple geographies, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, this executive owns full P&L accountability and is responsible for delivering sustainable revenue growth, EBITDA expansion, disciplined margin governance, strong cash performance, and operational scalability across a complex, multi-service consulting platform.

The President must align global standards with strong local execution, integrating legacy and acquired organizations into a unified, high-performing operating model. This is a senior enterprise leadership role requiring strategic clarity, operational rigor, acquisition integration expertise, and the ability to lead at scale within a publicly traded company environment.
