Strategic Executive Advisor
About the Role
Most people spend their careers working for someone else's vision. This is your opportunity to build your own. Most sales roles ask you to sell a product. This role asks you to change the trajectory of a business. At Culture Index, Strategic Executive Advisors partner directly with CEOs, business owners, and executive leadership teams to solve one of the most important challenges every organization faces: putting the right people in the right seats.
Using Culture Index's proprietary behavioral analytics platform, you'll help leaders make smarter hiring decisions, strengthen leadership teams, improve organizational performance, and build companies capable of sustained growth. You won't be reading scripts. You won't be making transactional sales. You'll become the trusted advisor executives call before making decisions that impact millions of dollars.
Who Thrives Here
This opportunity is designed for professionals who believe their earning potential should be determined by performance—not by a salary range. You may be a successful consultant, executive, business owner, sales leader, or advisor who's ready to build something bigger. You enjoy earning trust before earning business. You ask the questions others don't think to ask. You're comfortable challenging executives when the facts demand it. You create opportunities instead of waiting for them to appear. Most importantly, you're motivated by building a business of your own while backed by an established brand, proven methodology, and an experienced leadership team.

- Develop relationships with CEOs, presidents, founders, and executive leadership teams while building your own book of business.
- Prospect, network, and generate new business opportunities through strategic outreach, referrals, and relationship building.
- Lead executive-level conversations to identify organizational challenges and use Culture Index's behavioral analytics to help leaders make more informed decisions around hiring, leadership development, succession planning, team dynamics, and organizational growth.
- Build long-term client partnerships based on trust, credibility, and measurable business outcomes while continuously developing your consulting expertise through ongoing coaching and professional development.
