About PCDC
Quality primary care is transformative and a cornerstone of healthy, thriving communities. PCDC is a nationally recognized 501(c)(3) community development financial institution that provides capital financing, expertise, and advocacy to expand primary care access and advance health equity in the communities that need it most. Built on 30 years of experience, PCDC is a statewide convener and primary care expert that brings safety net providers together to develop the care models and business practices they need to remain strong, sustainable organizations.
About the Role
PCDC is seeking a Director of Consulting Practice Management and Operations to strengthen the daily, functioning operations of the consulting practice. This is not a back-office role. It is a true thought partner to practice leadership: Someone who owns pricing, capacity planning, client tracking, ad-hoc engagement management, and the systems and culture that let an evolving consulting practice operate well.
Our consulting work spans different funding types, including fee for service client engagements and grant funded programs. This role builds and refines the operational foundation that supports both. You will work closely with practice leaders and staff across the team to keep the business running smoothly while helping it grow.
Key Responsibilities
Strengthening How the Practice Runs
- Build standard pricing practices across consulting engagements, connecting cost, capacity, and margin so pricing decisions are consistent.
- Develop capacity planning: know current and future capacity of consulting and delivery staff, so staffing decisions are based on real availability.
- Own client engagement tracking: follow engagements from scoping through delivery and keep the CRM accurate and up to date.
- Build and maintain the system and related guidance to capture client outcomes, learning, and feedback to inform the design of new work and creation of content/approaches
- Implement and lead a data-informed, continuous quality improvement process throughout the unit and service lines, focusing on systems/process improvement. Promote regular and ongoing opportunities for all staff to give feedback on unit operations.
- Keep teams working with efficient synchronicity across the practice, so different parts of the business support each other instead of duplicating work.
- Proactively identify areas of improvement; determine solutions; implement enhancements/changes to improve client delivery.
Team and Practice Health
- Support clear, effective communication across the practice.
- Contribute to professional development and career growth planning for practice staff, including how roles evolve as the practice grows.
- Enable collaboration across consulting team members, regardless of their function.
- Help the practice function and feel like one team.
Supporting Growth
- Partner with the team on developing new products and services for the practice.
- Collect and organize client and market signals picked up by client facing staff, so ideas about new services do not stay scattered.
- Support quality checks on outgoing proposals before they reach clients or funders.
- Own the process for testing new service ideas before they launch: piloting at a small scale, checking whether the practice can deliver and afford it, and flagging when a new offering needs an outside partner. This is feasibility work, not sales.
- Work with PCDC’s External Affairs and Advancement (marketing/communications) team to enable increased team visibility and engagement with target audiences/markets.
- Evaluate helpful tools and technology for coaches and project managers as part of ongoing systems work.
- Support the planning and data gathering for impact-oriented collateral (i.e. dashboards, compliance reporting, annual report, newsletters, webinars, etc.)
Infrastructure and Cross Team Coordination
- Build the operational and administrative infrastructure the practice needs to run well, while serving as a key point of contact with PCDC's central Operations, Finance, and HR teams.
- Work directly with Central's operations, finance, and HR leaders as a partner on shared processes.
- Work with staff and leadership to fully understand and organize Consulting’s current impact measurement efforts. Act as advisor, teacher, and resource for staff on impact measurement for ourselves and our clients.
- Design systems and processes with an eye toward long term growth and stability.
Team Leadership
- Lead and develop the staff (project/engagement managers) who report to this role; grow the team's capabilities as the practice matures.
Portfolio Management Support
- Plan and manage multiple project work plans, meeting internal and external deliverables in an efficient and timely manner.
- Manage vendor and consultant contract execution, compliance management, and vendor management.
- Manage portfolio of hourly-billed engagements, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
- Contribute to strategies to address pressing large program challenges.

Project Management Consultant Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a project management consultant in New York?
Most project management consultants in New York enter the field with a bachelor's degree in business, engineering, information technology, or a related discipline, then build toward the PMP credential issued by the Project Management Institute. New York does not require a state-issued license for this role, so the PMP is the primary credential employers recognize. Large consulting firms and financial institutions in New York City typically expect at least some project delivery experience before the consultant title applies.
How much do project management consultants make in New York?
Project management consultants in New York earn a median of about $121,040 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $74,580 for the lowest 10% to over $192,160 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire project management consultants in New York?
Employers hiring project management consultants in New York right now include EY, Alton Aviation Consultancy, and Hatch, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. New York's concentration of global financial institutions, major technology firms, and large healthcare systems means demand is spread across both boutique consultancies and Fortune 500 in-house teams.
Which New York cities have the most project management consultant jobs?
New York and Brooklyn account for the greatest number of project management consultant openings in New York. New York City dominates because of its density of financial services headquarters, global consulting offices, and major hospital systems, while Buffalo and Albany generate consistent demand through state government IT initiatives, healthcare networks, and infrastructure programs anchored by public institutions and regional employers.
Are there remote project management consultant jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 100% of project management consultant openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how much of the work involves coordination, documentation, and stakeholder communication rather than physical presence. The roles most likely to be fully remote are those centered on IT program delivery and agile coaching, while capital projects and construction advisory work typically require time on site.
How can I get hired as a project management consultant in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing an associate or junior project coordinator role inside a large New York employer, then building toward the PMP credential while working. Firms like Deloitte, IBM, and Accenture run analyst and associate programs in New York City that hire candidates directly from university. Moving laterally from business analyst, operations coordinator, or program administrator positions is also common. Earning a CAPM credential from the Project Management Institute before applying strengthens a candidate's profile considerably at this stage.
Where can I find and apply to project management consultant jobs in New York?
