Operations Management Consultant

Description

Operations Leader - Management Consultant

DeWolff, Boberg & Associates (DB&A) | U.S.-based (most states), 100% Travel | Full-time | $90,100-$97,520 base + travel per diem

You got promoted because you could walk onto a chaotic floor and get a whole shift moving in the same direction. Most companies find that skill and bury it behind a desk. We built a company around using it.

Since 1987, DeWolff, Boberg & Associates has put real operators on the ground inside Fortune 100, 500, and 1000 companies to coach frontline leaders until the numbers move. Not theory. Not slide decks. And we financially guarantee the results.

Watch: Who We Are

What You Get That Your Current Job Can't Give You

One operation becomes many. About every six months, a different business to turn around.

See how Fortune 100 companies really run, from the floor up.

A seat at the table. Weekly strategy sessions with DB&A leadership and the client's decision makers.

Move up on results, not seniority. Six figures at Senior Consultant.

The Truth, Up Front

You will travel 100%. Sunday through Friday, most weeks. The client's schedule can change it.

You will start over about every six months. New client, new industry, new floor. You earn trust from zero every time.

You will coach people who did not ask for it. Some will push back. You hold the standard anyway.

You will get coached, hard. Direct feedback, often. If that makes you defensive, this is not your job.

You will be measured on results. Not effort. Not activity. Results.

What You'll Do

Embed on-site with major companies, in industries you have never worked in.

Coach the management team, from frontline supervisors to site leadership, one on one and in workshops, until their teams perform better. We work with management, not hourly associates.

Read KPIs, lost time, and productivity data, and turn it into a plan for the next shift.

Build enough trust on the floor that people actually change how they lead.

The Gut Check

Be honest with yourself. You should be able to say yes to every line.

I have led a frontline team in manufacturing, production, distribution, or another physical operation.

I have a completed bachelor's degree and 7+ years of professional experience.

I have 3+ years of direct management experience. I own performance, coaching, accountability, and KPIs.

I live near a major U.S. airport outside AK, CA, HI, ID, MT, OR, UT, WA, and WY, have a valid driver's license, and I am ready to travel Sunday through Friday.

I make the people around me better, and I want someone pushing me to get better too.

Not required, but we notice: I was promoted into management from a frontline Supervisor role, or got a fast start through a formal management trainee program.

This Isn't for You If

You explain why the numbers missed instead of fixing them.

You want feedback softened, or skipped.

The Money, Straight

Start: $90,100 base during onboarding (your first 90 days).

Day 91: $92,220-$97,520 base as a Management Consultant.

On top of salary: up to $22,100 a year in travel money. That is $850 every two weeks: $650 in per diem plus a $200 home-to-airport allowance (per diem applies when you stay at the project hotel).

Your points, your miles. Every travel reward point and air mile you earn is yours to keep.

Weekends your way. Fly home, or plan ahead with your Project Manager to have DB&A fly a companion to you or put you up in another city.

Flights, hotel, and rental car covered. Medical premiums covered 100% for you. 401(k) and PTO.

Where It Goes

We don't reward tenure. We reward results. Earn a top score in your annual review at your level, and you promote. Then repeat. Nobody waits years in a seat to be considered.

Senior Consultant: $100,880-$114,400

Principal Consultant: $124,800-$145,600

Project Manager: possible in as little as 1 to 2 years from Senior Consultant

Beyond that: Chief of Operations. Every one of our Chiefs of Operations is a shareholder in DB&A.

Same Principles Since 1987

DB&A was built on one belief: we are keepers of the truth. Integrity, work ethic, accountability, and results.

If your team runs better because you lead it, and you want to get better yourself, watch both videos before you apply. They show you the real job. If you finish them more fired up than scared off, apply. Let's talk about doing it at a much bigger scale.
