Who We Are
Propeller is a people-focused management consulting firm that helps organizations accelerate transformation and move forward faster. We work with clients to solve complex problems, clear hurdles, and bring transformation to life—building the momentum needed to make change stick with solutions that are right-sized, scalable, and built to last.
Our teams bring a mix of strategic thinking and practical know-how across strategy, enterprise technology, and organizational effectiveness. We collaborate closely with clients, adapt quickly to their needs, and show up ready to do the work together.
Our clients are typically large and mid-sized organizations in the retail, technology, public sector, and energy and utility industries. These are the spaces where we drive the most impact, but our experience spans many others. We have offices in Portland, San Francisco, and Denver, and work with clients across the country.
Propeller may be the place for you if you're energized by solving hard problems, guiding leaders and teams through change, and making progress that sticks. You're curious, collaborative, and resilient—with the grit to keep moving forward, even when the path is ambiguous, and the answers aren’t clear.
What You’ll Do
In this role, you'll drive new business to meet growth targets by building and nurturing client relationships while also spearheading the delivery of outstanding client work and fostering the development of consultants. You will also play a central role in discovering new opportunities and ensuring client satisfaction and loyalty at every stage of the sales and delivery process. You will be instrumental in driving our firm's success, steering the identification of new accounts and expansion of our existing accounts, and positioning Propeller as an industry leader. As a core figure in our firm’s success, you’ll engage with both the internal team and the broader community, spending meaningful time in our office, at client sites, and at industry and community events. Your leadership will help cultivate a collaborative, connected, and vibrant company culture while driving forward business growth.
