Full Job Description
Description

Management Consultant, Operations Leadership

DeWolff, Boberg & Associates (DB&A) U.S.-based, 100% Travel Full-time

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

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Embed on-site with major companies, in industries you have never worked in before.
  • Coach frontline supervisors and managers, one on one and in workshops, until they lead their teams better.
  • Read KPIs, lost time, and productivity data, and turn it into a plan for tomorrow.
  • Build the kind of trust on a shop floor that gets people to actually change how they lead.


WHAT YOU NEED

  • Current or recent leadership of a frontline team in manufacturing, industrial production, distribution, or another physical operating environment.
  • 3 to 5 years of direct people leadership: owning performance, coaching, accountability, and KPIs.
  • 7 years or less of total professional experience since completing your bachelor's degree.
  • A completed bachelor's degree.
  • A path into management earned through promotion from a Supervisor role, or a formal management trainee program.
  • Based in the U.S., near a major airport, and ready for 100% travel Sunday through Friday.


COMPENSATION AND WHAT YOU GET

Starting pay is competitive with a clear and transparent path to Project Manager. Flights, hotel, and rental car covered. Medical premiums covered 100 percent for you. 401(k), PTO, and real travel flexibility, including companion travel and destination weekends.

If your team already runs better because you lead it, apply and let's talk about doing that at a much bigger scale.
