Job Description

TSI is a rapidly growing management consulting firm based in the Chicago area. TSI’s core service offerings may be found here, but they generally involve assessing an organization's people, processes and technology recommending improvements and then helping to Implement those recommendations.

TSI has clients in a wide range of industries from Higher Education to Manufacturing and Distribution to Marketing and Advertising. The ability for our consultants to quickly learn and operate in a wide variety of environments and industries is key.

TSI is currently looking for a consultant who can serve as a hybrid Junior PM/Business Analyst. This role will be doing process analysis and requirement development, technology assessment, light project management, and support in other areas.

The purpose of this position is to be a versatile, effective, resource that can contribute in a number of areas. Often our consultants are faced with new, challenging and different scenarios in which they will be expected to learn, contribute, and adapt. This position will work directly with all levels of our client organizations, and will be expected to “roll up their sleeves” and work alongside our clients to meet our project objectives.

Exposure to process mapping and analysis, experience or background in system functional and technical requirement development, software selection and/or hands-on implementation, or mid to strong experience with software solutions in an educational setting are highly desired. Candidate should demonstrate the ability to evaluate, learn, and effectively use software programs, such as ERP, CRM, or other platforms on an as-needed basis.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree required; preferably with a business, technology or analytical focus. Desire 3-5 years of experience but this may be subject to change depending on suitability of candidate and his/her knowledge, skills, abilities, or other characteristics. The key driver to whether a candidate will go far in the process is their match to the Transforming Solutions culture and values listed here.

We anticipate this position will be mostly virtual with a few exceptions. One will be an occasional visit to TSI's office so we can meet as a team, perhaps once or twice a year. The second will be to the degree that our clients need us onsite for key meetings, workshops and presentations. Our strong preference is a candidate that has the capacity to travel when needed.

Desired Skills and Capabilities

• Project Management
• Business Analysis
• Organizational Change Management or Organizational Development
• Software Vendor Evaluation (typically ERP and CRM)

• Microsoft Office applications (Excel, PowerPoint, Project, Visio)
