Associate Partner

Job Description This is a remote position. ABOUT US As a female-founded and owned social impact firm, Edgility Talent Partners (ETP) is a consulting firm that partners with mission driven organizations to build values-aligned, equity-centered talent programs. In short, we empower people, strengthen systems, and advance our clients’ important missions. With deep expertise in the social impact sector and human capital, our work centers equity at every stage, combining data-driven insights with a deep understanding of the unique challenges that mission-focused organizations face. Whether supporting a compensation overhaul, redesigning evaluation systems, or assessing internal talent bench strength, ETP equips leaders with the tools they need to attract, retain, and support a thriving workforce. OPPORTUNITY Edgility Talent Partners is codifying its decades of experience training leaders and managers into a cohort based, online learning program. We are looking for an Associate Partner (AP) to support this effort in close collaboration with the Founder & CEO who is spearheading the work. The AP will serve as a project lead, guiding executives and their leadership teams in navigating critical decisions about organizational growth and change. APs are skilled relationship builders, coaches, and strategists who cultivate deep partnerships with their clients. In this capacity, the AP will support the expansion of our consulting practice by leading a portfolio of client work as a thought partner and project lead to external clients. RESPONSIBILITIES Client work in these spaces requires ETP teams to guide Boards, CEOs, senior leadership teams, and HR leaders in navigating critical decisions about organizational growth and change. APs are skilled relationship builders, systems thinkers, coaches, and strategists who cultivate deep partnerships with their clients. They serve as primary client relationship managers and are responsible for project oversight, client presentations, and strategic advising throughout all engagement phases. They are expected to provide guidance and coaching to both clients and junior team members while delivering sophisticated synthesis, analysis, diagnosis, and recommendations on complex human capital–related projects. APs leverage their broad understanding of HR functions and the social impact sector to provide comprehensive talent strategy guidance to clients, often connecting the dots among compensation, performance management, organizational design, and talent/succession planning. In this role, they also help clients examine org structures, roles and responsibilities, and end‑to‑end workflows through the lens of emerging AI tools—identifying where technology can responsibly streamline work, redistribute effort, and redesign roles while keeping equity, judgment, and human relationships at the center. In addition, this AP will lead the design and facilitation of dynamic learning and development programs that blend workshops, tools, and cohort-based peer learning experiences. The person in this role will regularly engage learners and clients to gather user feedback, iterate on content, and continuously improve the experience. They will build clear, practical training materials and tools, and steward our knowledge management platform so resources are easy to find, use, and keep up to date. Requirements In order to fulfill these responsibilities, the ideal Associate Partner candidate will have: Demonstrated experience as a project manager, shepherding multi-stakeholder and complex projects from initiation through completion. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present complex information to senior leaders and boards to facilitate strategic discussions. High EQ and strategic thinking skills; ability to synthesize complex information, identify themes and strategic implications, and diagnose actionable solutions. A proven track record in building rapport and deep, trusting, long-term relationships with colleagues and clients. Strong coaching and team development skills with capacity to mentor junior staff. Ideally, experience in client services including a proven track record of successfully managing client relationships and leading client presentations. Ideally, familiarity with the nonprofit and social impact sector including its approach to funding, leadership, governance, and organizational structure. Ideally, experience in human resources, and a broad understanding of typical HR functions such as compensation, performance management, and organizational design. Strong facility for leveraging technology platforms to streamline and enhance solutions and services. While no sales experience is required, a modest background in business development and client cultivation would be appreciated. Known to take the initiative, display resourcefulness, maintain professionalism, hold a high bar for quality, and have an agile level of learning. Alignment with our firmwide core values of Tangible Impact, Authentic Integrity, Boundless Curiosity, Empowered Excellence, and Joyful Humanity. Above all else, passionate commitment to our mission of empowering social impact organizations to act on equity by building exceptional teams that reflect and strengthen the communities they serve. Benefits This role offers a starting salary of $135,000 plus sales commission, alongside a total rewards package designed to support your whole life, not just your work. In addition to comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits (including a SIMPLE IRA with employer match), staff receive a monthly home office stipend to power a fully remote setup, an annual wellness stipend to invest in self-care, and access to AIHR professional development resources for continuous learning and growth. We are also committed to rest and renewal, offering generous paid time off, an annual paid shutdown week, and a sabbatical program for long-tenured staff because we believe that when people are cared for, they can do their most impactful work. Edgility Talent Partners is an equal opportunity employer and an organization that values diversity. Recruiting staff to create an inclusive organization is a priority, and we encourage applicants from all backgrounds. Candidates are evaluated solely on their qualifications to perform the work required.
