About The Position

Fierce Outcomes is an education- and workforce-focused strategy and analytics firm founded 18 months ago that spun out of BCG and McKinsey. We lead strategic turnarounds driving enrollment growth and financial sustainability for educational institutions (universities, colleges, K12 independent schools, and early childhood centers). We also improve educational ROI and close talent gaps by brokering talent pipeline partnerships between educational institutions, employers, and state government. We provide our clients a combination strategic go-to-market planning, analytics, and executional support to drive real change over extended periods of time. This is a contract remote role for a Project Leader / Engagement Manager at Fierce Outcomes. The role involves overseeing project management, ensuring successful project delivery, fostering client relationships, and driving engagement strategies. Most engagements last 6+ months and require 33%-50% time per week. Our value proposition is twofold: provide our ex-MBB contractors high flexibility and lifestyle-focus while also providing reasonable pricing for our clients allowing them to work with us for extended periods of time and generate high quality results. If you're ready to jump in, lead with confidence, and drive results we want to hear from you!
