    IMMEDIATE NEED: This position is a parti-time consultancy role for a specific contract in NYC.  All of our consultants are potentially benefits-eligible employees of Generation Ready, not independent contractors, and are paid on a per-diem rather than salaried basis.

    • A strong knowledge of leadership theory and practice
