About the role

  • Lead and deliver strategic planning engagements for local and regional government clients from scoping through final recommendations

  • Structure ambiguous problems into clear priorities, tradeoffs, and actionable plans
  • Design and facilitate stakeholder interviews, workshops, and executive discussions within public sector environments
  • Synthesize inputs into clear strategic direction and practical implementation roadmaps
  • Translate high-level strategy into sequenced actions, including dependencies, risks, and ownership
  • Ensure recommendations are grounded in organizational realities, including staffing, funding, and operational constraints
  • Partner with technical teams to bridge strategy and GIS implementation

  • Contribute to defining and refining our approach, templates, and delivery of strategic planning engagements
  • Support proposal development, project scoping, and pricing for strategic planning engagements

Requirements

  • 4–7+ years of experience in strategy, operations, planning, or advisory roles in a client-facing or cross-functional environment (including corporate, consulting, public sector, or military leadership roles)
  • Experience owning and leading workstreams or key components of engagements, with demonstrated ability to operate independently and take on full ownership over time
  • Experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives from problem definition through execution (e.g., strategic planning, operating model design, transformation efforts)
  • Experience working with local or regional government and/or GIS, infrastructure, or geospatial services, including ownership of planning, prioritization, or cross-functional initiatives
  • For candidates from government or GIS-focused roles: experience owning or leading strategic planning, capital planning, or cross-functional initiatives, not just contributing to them
