Are you passionate about meaningful work? Do you want to give back by supporting women-owned and minority-owned businesses?
Join Women’s Economic Ventures (WEV) as a part-time Business Consultant and help grow local small businesses.
WEV (pronounced “weave”) is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating an equitable and just society through the economic empowerment of women. We are a purposeful, mission-driven organization with a passionate and engaged staff based in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, whose primary focus is supporting women-owned businesses and entrepreneurship. WEV is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
WEV is seeking to hire part-time Business Consultants (35-60 hrs. per month) who are passionate about doing meaningful work by supporting entrepreneurs and small business owners. Note: this job description is for English-language Business Consultants. See additional job description if you are a bilingual English-Spanish speaker.
WEV’s Business Consultants work 1:1 with our clients to help them define their business strategy, and identify, prioritize, and achieve specific goals for their businesses, improving their business performance and profitability. The Business Consultant must have a knack for understanding complex problems and providing real-time appropriate solutions. The Business Consultant’s job is not to make decisions or solve problems for clients but to facilitate the development of those skills and support clients in making prudent judgments that will help ensure the long-term growth and success of their business.
