Consulting Coordinator & Communications Manager

​

Overview

Satellite™ is seeking a capable and motivated Consulting Coordinator & Communications Manager to help support and expand the consulting practice.

​

This role supports the communication, coordination, and organization surrounding the Satellite™ framework. It is not a dog training position. The ideal candidate approaches the work from the perspective of a thoughtful client or observer—someone able to understand and communicate the ideas behind the framework while helping coordinate the consulting work that surrounds it.

​

Satellite™ is particularly interested in capable early-career candidates who are motivated, professional, and eager to learn how a consulting practice operates.

• Arrange travel and transportation for consulting engagements

• Assist with preparation for seminars and speaking engagements

• Coordinate logistics with clients and host organizations

​​

Social Media & Public Communication

• Manage social media accounts

• Draft and schedule posts

• Monitor messages and comments

• Help communicate ideas from the Satellite™ framework to a broader audience

​​

Administrative Support

• Maintain organized records of inquiries and consultations

• Assist with basic website updates

• Support development of educational materials when needed

​​

Who This Role Is For

This position is designed for someone who approaches canine behavior from the perspective of an engaged observer rather than a practitioner. The role supports the work of the Satellite™ framework through communication, coordination, and organization.

​

Individuals primarily seeking a path into dog training or behavior consulting will likely find the position frustrating. The work focuses on helping coordinate and communicate the consulting practice rather than performing behavior work directly.

​

Early-Career Opportunity

Satellite™ welcomes applications from motivated individuals at the beginning of their professional careers. Strong candidates may include recent high school graduates, college-bound students taking a gap year, or early college students seeking meaningful real-world experience.

​

This role offers the opportunity to work closely with a long-time entrepreneur and consulting professional while gaining practical experience in business operations, communication, scheduling, and client coordination.

The position provides direct exposure to how an independent consulting practice functions and how consulting work is organized, communicated, and delivered.

​

What You May Learn

Depending on interest and aptitude, the role may provide experience in:

• Professional communication with clients and organizations

• Social media strategy and public communication

• Small business operations

• Scheduling and logistical coordination

• Professional writing and content development

• Event and travel coordination for consulting engagements

​​

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is someone who:

• Is organized, reliable, and detail-oriented

• Communicates clearly in writing AND in person/phone

• Is comfortable interacting with a wide range of people

• Notices patterns and details others miss

• Is curious and motivated to learn

• Is comfortable taking initiative and solving problems

• Maintains a professional and calm demeanor

​

Interest in behavior, psychology, communication, or entrepreneurship is welcome, but prior dog training or behavior experience is not required and not expected.

​

Work Structure

The position will begin as part-time with flexible hours and may expand as consulting activity grows.​ The work includes communication management, scheduling, social media coordination, and travel logistics. Applicant must be physically able to periodically but regularly meet in Olympia, WA. 

​

Compensation

​Compensation for this position is performance-based and tied to consulting work that is successfully scheduled and coordinated.​ The role is structured so that the coordinator receives a percentage of consulting engagements that they help organize and book. As the consulting practice grows, the opportunity for earnings grows as well.

This role rewards initiative, organization, and the ability to help build and support a growing consulting practice.

Specific compensation details will be discussed with qualified applicants.
