Ongoing Conversations: Senior Consultants

    DBD Group is a team of professionals from the non-profit world who have joined together to help nonprofits, educational institutions and faith-based organizations thrive. We are committed to helping our clients grow stronger in their abilities, so they not only achieve their goals but go on to achieve more using the tools they’ve learned from us. It is an incredible chance to come alongside organizations at the most exciting – and sometimes the most vulnerable – points in their histories.

    For more than a decade, we’ve connected cause-driven professionals with our unique brand of consulting. Consulting requires self-direction, creativity and a tolerance for risk. It also takes a blend of humility and confidence: trust in your ability to lead combined with the ability to help our clients grow in their own ability to lead. It is challenging work, but also incredibly rewarding.

    Sound interesting?

    If you’ve ever worked with us, you’ve likely heard our axiom “Don’t settle.” The right people are the foundation for ensuring we can help our clients succeed. (In fact, here's a little insight into what we look for.)

    That means we aren’t just filling job openings. We’re willing to be patient to find the best fit.

    Full-Time vs. Project Work

    Being a full-time consultant isn’t the only way to be part of the DBD team. There are opportunities to work on a limited number of projects as may befit your career plans. Working with DBD allows you to:

    • Expand your experience in a type of work or a type of charitable organization.
    • Gain consulting and volunteer leadership skills that will help you work with your own staff and board.
    • Learn new skills and strategies.

    We can work with you to find an arrangement that makes sense for both you and DBD.

    While we aren't actively hiring right now, we don't want to miss the opportunity to hear from great leaders across the country. Feel free to submit a little info about yourself and when we do have the capacity to bring on new team members, we'll be sure to review your information.

    Interested? Tell us more about yourself.
