About the engagement
Laisar Management Group is conducting an independent evaluation of the compliance and ethics program of a large national organization. The work will assess program governance, investigations and case management, policies, training, conflict-of-interest processes, and monitoring. It will benchmark key practices against recognized standards and deliver findings and an improvement roadmap to senior leadership and the Board.
We are seeking an experienced compliance and investigations professional to serve on the consulting team as the engagement's subject-matter lead.
Responsibilities
- Lead the evaluation's technical approach, applying the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines §8B2.1 and the DOJ Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs.
- Assess the speak-up and investigations process from intake through corrective action, including timeliness, handoffs, confidentiality, and anti-retaliation safeguards.
- Lead process walkthroughs and judge the adequacy of case handling from a coded sample of closed case records.
- Evaluate the conflict-of-interest disclosure process and coordination among Compliance, HR, Legal, and other functions with compliance responsibilities.
- Conduct senior interviews with executives, Board members, and process owners.
- Guide the analysis of case metrics, select appropriate benchmarks, and interpret results in context.
- Assign maturity ratings and draft findings, recommendations, and the improvement roadmap.
- Co-present findings to executive leadership and the Board.
Required qualifications
- 12+ years in corporate compliance, ethics, or investigations, including senior leadership of a compliance program or an investigations function.
- Demonstrated experience conducting or leading compliance program effectiveness assessments, evaluating a program against external criteria and defending the conclusions, not only running one.
- Deep familiarity with workplace investigations and case-handling processes from intake through corrective action, including triage, handoffs, closure definitions, confidentiality, and anti-retaliation practice.
- Experience presenting to executive leadership and boards or board committees.
- Excellent analytical and writing skills, including turning evidence into clear, defensible findings.
- Sound judgment in handling highly confidential information.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience evaluating conflict-of-interest and compliance risk assessment processes.
- Working fluency with the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines §8B2.1 and the DOJ Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs.
- Experience selecting and interpreting compliance benchmarks (e.g. NAVEX), including judging whether a comparison is valid given differences in definitions, population, and case mix.
- Professional credentials in any of three areas: compliance program management (CCEP, LPEC); workplace investigations (AWI-CH, CFE); or assurance and evaluation methodology (CIA, CRMA). Comparable credentials considered. A JD is a plus.
- Familiarity with external ethics recognition programs or certification programs and how their criteria are evidenced.
- Experience with complex or federated organizations, including programs covering board members, volunteers, contractors, and other non-employee populations. Familiarity with training effectiveness evaluation (e.g., the Kirkpatrick model), sufficient to assess how comprehension is measured and how feedback informs revisions.
Independence requirement
Candidates must have no current or prior engagement with the client organization or its compliance and ethics function, and no affiliation with other providers currently engaged by the client. Details will be shared during screening.
Pay: $75.00 per hour
Expected hours: 15.0 – 20.0 per week

Tips for Your Evaluation Consultant Job Search
Tailor your resume to evaluation frameworks
Hiring managers for evaluation consultant roles scan for named methodologies like logic models, developmental evaluation, or utilization-focused evaluation. If you've used them, say so explicitly in your bullet points rather than describing outputs alone.
Highlight mixed-methods experience clearly
Many postings require both qualitative and quantitative skills, but candidates often undersell one side. List the specific tools you've used for each, such as NVivo for qualitative coding or R and Stata for statistical analysis, so reviewers don't have to guess.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists evaluation consultant openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings by funding source
Federal grant-funded roles often require familiarity with specific reporting standards like OMB Uniform Guidance or Government Performance and Results Act frameworks. If your background includes federally funded work, name the funding agencies in your resume to match those postings.
Prepare a portfolio of evaluation deliverables
Bring two or three sanitized work samples to interviews: an evaluation plan, a logic model, or an executive summary of findings. Evaluation consulting hiring panels want to see how you structure a question and communicate results, not just hear you describe it.
Negotiate scope alongside salary
Evaluation consultant offers often include variable workloads tied to project pipelines. During negotiation, ask how many concurrent projects you'd carry and whether billing is billable-hour or fixed-price. That context shapes the real value of a compensation package.
Evaluation Consultant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most evaluation consultants?
The companies hiring the most evaluation consultants right now include United Nations Development Programme, Kaiser Permanente, and Resource Innovations, with the largest share of openings in Colorado, California, and Maryland, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Consulting firms serving government and nonprofit clients tend to post the highest volume of roles.
How many evaluation consultant jobs are remote?
About 67% of evaluation consultant openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting strong demand for flexible arrangements across the sector. Research design, data analysis, and report writing sub-areas are the most likely to be conducted entirely remotely, while stakeholder facilitation and site visits still require in-person presence for some roles.
How do you become an evaluation consultant?
Start by earning a graduate degree in a relevant field such as public policy, public health, education, or social science, as most roles require at least a master's. Build hands-on experience through research assistant positions, AmeriCorps program roles, or internships at consulting firms or nonprofits. Develop fluency in both quantitative and qualitative methods, and practice translating findings for non-expert audiences, which is a core expectation in nearly every posting.
Can I get hired as an evaluation consultant with little experience?
Yes, entry-level evaluation consultant roles exist, particularly at consulting firms and nonprofits with large federal contracts that need analysts to support senior evaluators. Focus your applications on research assistant or junior evaluator titles, and emphasize any thesis, capstone, or coursework project that involved data collection, logic model development, or program assessment. A clean writing sample demonstrating clear findings goes a long way at the entry level.
What does the evaluation consultant interview process look like?
Most evaluation consultant interviews involve a screening call with a recruiter or HR contact, followed by a technical or competency interview with a project lead or practice area director. You'll often be asked to walk through a past evaluation project from question design through reporting. Some firms include a written exercise or case study asking you to draft an evaluation plan or interpret a dataset, so prepare work samples in advance.
Where can I find and apply to evaluation consultant jobs?
You can find and apply to evaluation consultant jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
