Client is a boutique consulting firm with a growing relationship with a US building materials company (3-5B in revenue) that sells B2B products to developers, installation trades (R&R), and increasingly retail homeowners. The boutique firm is looking for extra support, especially while the head of the firm is on leave for part of the coming year. The building materials company is shifting away from commoditized components and instead trying to shift into more attractive profit pools. They're doing more retail strategy and product portfolio / positioning strategy. The client of the client (i.e., the building materials company) is the Head of Strategy and M&A + apparently an "ideal" client - really nice, likes to be involved, has extremely reasonable expectations. The boutique firm has an analyst employee who you would help manage who can provide extra leverage for you. The scope may flex depending on the needs of the client but overall is related to strategy and market expansion/ positioning. (Note: this project is not 100% confirmed but was a direct request to the boutique firm for them to expand their support + find someone to cover for them over their leave)

1-2 days a week retainer across a 7 month project (starting in January with possible onboarding in December).
Remote but client is central US based and has a preference for US or Canada based consultants (though not necessarily a hard requirement)
