OUR ROLES

How We Define our Project Teams

Analyst

Analysts are primarily responsible for conducting fact-finding research through interviewing and data analysis. An Analyst is given a variety of tasks and assignments to be exposed to different areas of the business.

Consultant

Consultants serve as the primary drafter for client deliverables and takes responsibility for soliciting and incorporating input from other team members. Consultants can think big picture and support the development of a storyline.

Senior Consultant

Senior Consultants are primarily responsible for heavily supporting the Project Lead to get the project to completion, by constructing and executing delivery packages with the support of Analysts and Consultants, and supporting overall project goals and client needs. A Senior Consultant can lead an assigned project workstream within an overall program, and proactively share ongoing points of view and perspectives based on experience/expertise.

Project Lead

Project Leads are the primary point person responsible for planning, executing, and delivering a client project on time, within budget, and in accordance with specifications. The Project Lead will execute project requirements as defined in the SOW and Project Charter by effectively supervising the efforts of project team members and communicating expectations to stakeholders and senior management.

Program Lead

Program Leads are the primary point-person accountable for the overall success of multiple projects, with strong attention to client management, strategy, and implementation. A Program Lead will take a hands-on approach to provide direction to the Project Lead and Project Team including clarifying and aligning on the project’s requirements and deliverables, securing internal resources, maintaining consistent budgeting, and clearly communicating the expectations to stakeholders and senior management.

Partner

Partners are responsible for development and management of client relationships. The role is responsible for identifying new business opportunities and contributing to the growth and development of TPG and its people.

Don’t Focus on the Title

Although our client engagements are well defined with roles, at The Poirier Group we don’t have a typical hierarchical structure. Our flat structure fosters trust, collaboration, and unlimited growth potential while allowing us to be flexible in providing opportunities to our team members as we deliver and execute projects.

Our focus lies in expanding your experience and knowledge, not just upwards, but outwards too.

We encourage our team members to take on new opportunities and challenges in different roles to best fit our clients’ needs. Just because you are a lead on one project doesn’t mean you can’t help out as a consultant on another.
