Application to Be a Consultant with TSNE


Third Sector New England's Consulting Services subcontractor pool is currently closed. However, we do review applications from time to time, if and when there are openings in the pool. We seek applicants whose experience complements the skill set and experience of the internal consulting team, such as consultants who specialize in fund development or have an expertise in financial analysis and management. Generalists should also apply, particularly if you bring fluency in a language other than English. A values match will also be a part of our screening process.

There is a limit of 3200 characters for essay questions; please keep this in mind as you draft your response.
