The opportunity

Strategic Advisory Group needs a sharp, feedback-driven Production Manager to bring structure and clarity to fast-moving business problems in Evanston, IL. Consider it a $111,000 - $165,000 foothold at Strategic Advisory Group, where 6 years of Multitasking converts straight into business ownership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Keep the Production Manager scorecard tied to outcomes, not activity
  • Cut three steps out of an approval chain nobody loves
  • Reallocate spend toward whatever business channel is actually working
  • Wire up dashboards so Evanston managers stop asking you for the same numbers
  • Audit existing processes and recommend high-impact improvements
  • Run weekly numbers reviews that end with decisions, not more meetings
  • Run the numbers on build-versus-buy before Strategic Advisory Group signs anything

What You'll Bring

  • A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
  • Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
  • Demonstrated calm when an Evanston, IL client changes scope mid-stream
  • Prior experience working on-site in Evanston, IL, or willingness to relocate

At Strategic Advisory Group, the underdog-spirited Evanston crew believes business should feel boring and reliable, never thrilling and fragile. We keep the full-time workload sustainable so your best Allen-Bradley work isn't your last gasp.

Take $111,000 - $165,000, add a mentor invested in your rise, layer on benefits and remote options, and that is the Strategic Advisory Group offer in one breath.
