Senior Business Consultant
Nationwide | 100% Travel | Sunday–Friday
At ISI, we don’t just hire for open roles—we hire for impact. If you’re exceptional at what you do and align with our core values—entrepreneurial ownership, results over talk, radical clarity, and resilience under pressure—we want to know you.
ROLE:
As a Senior Business Consultant at ISI, you are the sharp, hands-on strategist who parachutes into small-to-mid-sized companies and drives real, bottom-line change. You don’t just advise from a distance—you embed with the client team, build financial visibility from scratch, implement systems, and teach owners how to lead their business to sustainable profit.
This role is built for entrepreneurial operators with strong financial acumen, Excel mastery, and the communication skills to gain trust, challenge assumptions, and lead transformations across a wide range of industries. If you’re someone who has owned or led a business—and you know what it takes to turn it around—we want you on the ground with us.
You’ll fly out on Sundays, spend the week at client sites (Monday–Friday), and return home Fridays, traveling nationwide to consult on-site 50+ hours per week. It’s fast-paced, high-impact, and deeply rewarding.
