Propeller is a people-focused management consulting firm that helps individuals, teams, and organizations thrive in change. Organizations hire us to solve problems, inspire transformation, and drive change. We work with clients to align teams and priorities, clear hurdles, and deliver customized solutions. And in doing so, Propeller helps spark, regain, and accelerate the most impactful and energizing force we know: momentum.

Our clients are generally large and mid-size organizations in the retail, tech, energy, utilities, and public sector industries. These organizations are where we drive the most impact, but we serve all different types of clients. We have teams in Portland, San Francisco, and Denver - and are growing into Dallas and Minneapolis.

Propeller may be for you if you have an unyielding passion for unraveling complex challenges, delivering creative, impact-driven solutions, and creating lasting progress. You are curious, you thrive in the unknown, and you have the grit to continue moving projects forward while guiding leaders and teams through ambiguous challenges.

A wide variety of backgrounds and experiences may be aligned to the work we do. If you believe you have the qualifications, even if your role titles did not necessarily use the same words, we encourage you to apply. A real person reads all our applications, and your background and experience will be assessed holistically.

Must have:

• 7+ years of project management, technical project management, business analysis, data analytics, and/or management consulting experience, including 2+ years of hands-on experience leading technology implementations and/or analytics initiatives
• Experience collaborating closely with software engineering and delivery teams throughout the development lifecycle
• Ability to articulate how systems, platforms, or data flows enable business processes, influence outcomes, and drive
• Career history that demonstrates progressive responsibilities and accountability
• Strong presentation, communication, and facilitation skills
• Experience with waterfall and/or agile project management techniques in complex technology environments
• Bachelor's degree
• Ability to travel based on client need (up to 25%)
• Ability to demonstrate a legal right to work in the U.S.

Nice to have:

• Master's degree
• Certified project management professional and/or relevant certifications/education
• Experience leading junior team members and leading small teams.

Compensation:
We believe in fairly and equitably compensating our employees for their time, skills, and experience. The hiring base salary range for this position is $103,000 to $124,000, which represents a portion of the role's overall pay range. Individual starting salaries are determined based on factors such as relevant experience, specific skill sets, marketability to clients, and internal pay equity. Base pay ranges are reviewed and updated annually, with opportunities for increases based on performance.

This role is also eligible for a performance-based bonus, targeted between 4–8% of base salary, based on individual and company performance. Our compensation plan also includes a generous benefits package.

Location:

We believe being physically present with each other, and our clients, strengthens our relationships, promotes creativity and innovation, and ultimately produces a stronger, more durable result for our clients and ourselves. Propeller consultants typically work in a hybrid model, spending a portion of their week working from their client site, local Propeller office, and home. In some cases, consultants work full-time at their client sites.

Exact schedules vary by client engagement. Applicants should currently live in the area where the job is posted or plan to relocate upon hire.

Travel:
We strive to keep consultants rooted in their local community, minimizing out-of-market travel. This is balanced with an all-firm staffing model and a desire to accommodate growing client demand for in-person work. While some travel may be necessary, it is capped at 25% for this role. We prioritize a tailored approach to travel, taking into consideration individual preferences in project assignments.

Hiring Process:
The hiring process typically involves four interviews over 4–6 weeks. However, the timeline for this role may vary depending on our clients' evolving needs. Please note that any offers extended for this position are contingent upon an available project, and as such, start dates may vary. We value transparency throughout the hiring process and will keep you informed of any updates regarding your application or the role's timeline as they arise.
