- Develop integrated, prioritized recommendations that distinguish customer-led actions from opportunities requiring additional Consulting or CDK support.
- Facilitate executive-level readouts that clearly communicate findings, risks, opportunities, expected value, customer decisions, commitments, owners, and next steps.
- Gain customer commitment to action and coordinate follow-through so recommendations move from assessment to implementation and measurable value realization.
- Identify and qualify strategic customer opportunities through consultative discovery and collaborate with Sales, Customer Success, Professional Services, Product, and Support to progress appropriate solutions.
- Manage stakeholder alignment, expectations, documentation, action plans, and follow-up across complex concurrent engagements.
- Use AI-enabled and emerging tools to improve assessment quality, insight generation, documentation, and delivery speed while applying sound human judgment and validation.
- Recognize patterns across engagements and provide feedback that strengthens assessment methods, solution positioning, and customer value realization.
- Coach Business Process Consultants through peer review, joint engagements, and practical guidance; this role does not have direct reports.
- Independently manage a portfolio of concurrent engagements, priorities, travel, and deliverables in accordance with team standards.
Required Job Skills & Qualifications
- Typically 7 or more years of experience in retail automotive dealership operations, automotive consulting, business process improvement, or a related field.
- Broad dealership operational expertise across multiple functions, with depth in Accounting, Fixed Operations, Variable Operations, and/or F&I.
- Demonstrated success leading complex assessments and translating operational and financial analysis into measurable improvement recommendations.
- Strong understanding of dealership KPIs, financial drivers, operational controls, process dependencies, and solution utilization.
- Advanced consultative discovery, executive presentation, facilitation, influence, and relationship-management skills.
- Ability to quantify business impact, develop a compelling ROI, gain customer commitment, and connect customer challenges to relevant solutions.
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, prioritize competing opportunities, and independently manage complex customer engagements.
- Demonstrated ability to coach peers and raise the quality and consistency of team deliverables without formal authority.
- Strong written communication, documentation, organization, learning agility, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Ability to use AI-enabled tools responsibly to improve the quality and scalability of professional services delivery.
- Willingness and ability to travel if needed.
- Valid driver’s license and ability to rent and safely operate a vehicle; valid passport for travel within North America and the Caribbean, as required.
Preferred Skills & Qualifications
- Experience in dealership management or a senior functional leadership role.
- Prior automotive consulting, performance improvement, process mapping, or financial analysis experience.
- Experience with CDK or comparable dealership technology and solution adoption across multiple departments.
- Experience partnering with Sales to develop, qualify, and advance complex opportunities.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Professional Services Consultant
Confirm the role qualifies as a specialty occupation
Not all consulting titles clear the H-1B specialty occupation bar. The job description must require a specific bachelor's degree, not just any degree. Ask the employer how they've defined the role in past LCA filings before accepting an offer.
Target firms with established sponsorship programs
Large consulting firms, systems integrators, and professional services companies file H-1B petitions regularly and have internal immigration teams. These employers understand the process and are less likely to withdraw sponsorship when complications arise.
Know which visa fits your situation
Australian citizens should evaluate the E-3 visa alongside the H-1B. TN status applies to Canadians and Mexicans in qualifying management consulting roles. Understanding your options before applying helps you target employers who sponsor the right visa type.
Align your degree directly to the role
USCIS scrutinizes consulting petitions closely. A business administration, management, or engineering degree that maps clearly to the engagement type strengthens your petition. Mismatched credentials are one of the most common reasons consulting H-1Bs receive Requests for Evidence.
Ask about LCA wage levels during the offer stage
Your employer files a Labor Condition Application that sets your wage level before the visa petition. Understanding which wage level they intend to file at matters for both compliance and your negotiation. Level I and II filings draw more USCIS scrutiny for senior consulting roles.
Use Migrate Mate to find sponsoring employers
Migrate Mate filters consulting jobs by visa sponsorship availability, saving you the time of screening companies that won't sponsor. Browse roles, identify firms with active sponsorship histories, and focus your applications where you actually have a path to authorization.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Professional Services Consultant role qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes, but approval depends on how the role is defined. USCIS requires that the position normally requires a specific bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Generic consulting titles that accept any degree often face Requests for Evidence or denial. Employers who clearly tie the role to a specialized practice area, such as technology implementation, financial consulting, or healthcare operations, have stronger approval outcomes.
What degree do I need for a Professional Services Consultant visa petition?
USCIS looks for a direct relationship between your degree field and the consulting work you'll perform. Business administration, management information systems, engineering, finance, and computer science are common qualifying fields depending on the engagement type. A general management degree supporting a highly technical role may not satisfy the specialty occupation requirement without additional evidence, such as industry certifications or a detailed employer letter explaining the degree-to-job connection.
Do large consulting firms sponsor work visas more reliably than smaller ones?
Generally yes. Large professional services firms, including those in technology, management, and financial consulting, file high volumes of H-1B visa and E-3 visa petitions annually and have dedicated immigration support. Smaller boutique firms may sponsor but often lack in-house expertise, which can slow the process or introduce errors. Searching Migrate Mate lets you focus specifically on employers with active sponsorship histories so you're not discovering this late in the interview process.
Is the TN visa an option for Professional Services Consultants?
It can be, for Canadian and Mexican citizens. The TN visa includes a Management Consultant category, but it requires a specific qualifying degree, a letter from the employer explaining the consulting engagement, and that you're not filling a permanent position. USCIS and CBP both scrutinize TN applications for consulting roles carefully. The role must involve advisory work, not ongoing operational or staff-level tasks, to fit the TN definition.
What's the H-1B approval rate for consulting roles specifically?
USCIS doesn't publish approval rates broken down by job title, but consulting occupations as a category have historically faced above-average Request for Evidence rates due to questions about specialty occupation status. Approval outcomes improve significantly when the employer provides detailed documentation showing the role requires a specific degree, the work is complex and specialized, and industry standards support the degree requirement. Working with an experienced immigration attorney on the petition is especially important for consulting titles.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Professional Services Consultant jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
