How We Will Work Together I value collaborative partnerships built on transparency, professionalism, accountability, and thoughtful communication. The ideal consultant is someone who asks strategic questions, respectfully challenges assumptions, anticipates risks, and provides practical recommendations grounded in experience. I appreciate individuals who are proactive, organized, responsive, and comfortable working with founders during periods of rapid growth and decision-making. Engagement Structure This project is structured as an initial fixed-price engagement with clearly defined milestones over approximately three months. If we are a strong mutual fit, there is significant potential to continue working together through an ongoing strategic advisory or Fractional COO relationship as the Institute expands nationally. To Apply Please include the following in your proposal: 1. A brief overview of your experience building or scaling organizations. 2. Examples of education, consulting, healthcare, certification, or professional learning organizations you've supported. 3. Your approach to launching organizations from startup through sustainable growth. 4. Two or three examples of strategic initiatives you're most proud of leading. 5.

The Organization: Merit America The American economy is broken. Today, 53 million working adults–nearly half of the U.S. workforce–do not earn a living wage. These talented workers have few options to advance: college is too long and expensive, full-time boot camp programs don’t offer enough flexibility, and online courses don’t have the structure or support to translate learning into a new career. The result? Talented workers, disproportionately people of color and women, get stuck in low-wage roles with no way to build a better life for themselves and their families. Merit America is a national nonprofit that creates pathways to family-sustaining careers for Americans stuck in low-wage work. Our fast, flexible solutions are built for working adults: We start by analyzing tens of millions of job postings to identify in-demand, high-paying tech careers and then work with industry-recognized partners to train for these roles with part-time programs that combine flexible online learning with best-in-class coaching. Finally, we support our learners in their job search, helping them connect with a broad constellation of local and national employers such as JPMorgan Chase and Infosys to land higher-earning, family-sustaining jobs. Merit America is on a mission to build a scalable pathway for workers to join the middle class through merit, not money.

We want to bring Claude into how we operate, not just as a chat tool, but set up properly with Cowork, connected to how our team actually works.
