Toronto, Ontario, Canada SME Strategy Consulting Full time

Timeline:

  • Interviews: May-June 2024, with expected start date of August 2024

Please Note:
Applications submitted without cover letters will not be considered.

Position Summary:


This role requires strong interpersonal communication skills, confidence working with C-Suite and executive leadership teams and strong personalities, an ability to coach teams towards an aligned outcome, an understanding of how to "read the room", an ability to facilitate conflict and difficult conversations, and the ability to both adhere to a process while knowing when to pivot to meet core outcomes.

There will also be opportunities to facilitate the development of strategic plans within our Alignment program.

This person will compliment our team of facilitators within our Client Partnerships department.

This person will be responsible for leading clients through our strategic plan implementation process, consisting of quarterly strategy reviews with qualitative & quantitative check-ins, monthly project calls, core workshops, educational modules, stakeholder engagement, and 1-on-1 and/or group executive coaching.

In addition to facilitation, there will be pre and post work and documentation requirements.

This role will collaborate closely with our CEO, CCO (Chief Client Officer) and small Client Partnerships team.

The incumbent will complement a team of strategic thinkers who aren't afraid to challenge each other, and who are making differences in the lives of businesses, teams, communities and individuals around the world.


Location & Availability:


We work with clients throughout North America, most often within and between the Pacific and Eastern time zones (Central or Eastern Time Zone Preferred).


This role is ideally based in
Toronto or Ottawa Canada, or the USA, within 1 hour of an international airport.

While our client work environment is hybrid, with some sessions happening in-person and others virtual, our internal work environment is primarily remote, with a focus on flexible work-life balance.


Please
Note:

While most of our implementation work is completed virtually, you will also be required to travel to facilitate in-person sessions within Canada and/or the USA (depending on the location of the incumbent hire) roughly 6-8 times per year for 2-4 days at a time, as well as for training sessions and our internal strategy retreats in BC, Canada.


Benefits & Perks:

  • Flexible, remote/hybrid schedule based on a 35hr average work week (you may end up occasionally working longer during facilitation & travel weeks, but you may bank your hours for future time off)
  • 4weeks of annual paid vacation
(
3 weeks of your choice upon approval +
one non transferrable all staff paid week off during our annual office closure between Christmas and New Years)

  • Health Benefits remuneration for USA based employees or a Health care spending account, travel insurance, and critical illness insurance after 3months of employment for Canadian employees
  • Quarterly Coffee Budget of $7
  • Allotment of up to 2hrs per week (on nonfacilitation heavy weeks) of your work schedule for learning & growth and strategic thinking within your role
  • Up to $500 per year annual training allowance (available after 6months of employment and upon approval of SME Strategy's CEO)
  • One paid day of volunteer work per year, with an organization or cause of your choice (available after 6months of employment)
  • Opportunities for growth
  • This role will have a high level of autonomy and flexibility

Core Competencies to Drive Outcomes:

  • You are comfortable with a challenge and can take on different perspectives when facilitating a group with conflicts or issues with coming to alignment
  • You have the ability to share metaphors and ask questions to engage critical thinking rather than giving people immediate answers
  • You have a knack for storytelling and can communicate complex themes in a way that is accessible to everyone
  • You are a strategic thinker who takes ownership and accountability with their work
  • You are passionate about your craft and seek to continually learn and grow
  • You can both give and receive constructive peertopeer feedback within the mindset of continual improvement
  • You are passionate about innovation and aren't afraid to change when required
  • You are proactive and take action. If there's a facilitation or educational challenge that you identify, you are confident in bringing it to the team and driving forward a solution
  • You are analytical with high attention to detail and the ability to spot issues others may not notice, especially within client facing documentation
  • You are willing to follow established processes and procedures, but are also able to think critically and pivot when needed
  • You are able to prioritize and organize your work efficiently and effectively
  • You have a strong understanding of outcomesbased curriculum and working environments
