Akerman Associate Pay Scale Jobs in Usa

Who We Are:

17A is a new type of management consulting firm. We come from places like McKinsey, Palantir, JP Morgan Philanthropies, and venture-backed Healthcare startups. We share a common goal: improving the quality of government and social services. 17A believes that trust in government is something to be continuously built and earned, through strong service delivery.

We have a dynamic core team, and partner with Consultants, known internally as Project-Based Team Members, to bring the best combination of expertise to what we do. Our team has varied skills from a range of industries and experiences, including management consulting, technology and analytics, and public service. If you've spent the early part of your career in consulting or a fast-paced analytical environment and you're ready to apply those skills to something with direct civic impact, 17A is for you.

The Opportunity:

17A is supporting a large Bay Area county agency on a technology and digital services transformation effort. This is a fully embedded, on-site role — not parachuting in. You'll work inside the agency's digital innovation team, sitting alongside Deputy-level leadership to help the county deliver on its mission to make government more human, more responsive, and more digital. This position is a contract role with the potential to convert to full-time after a few months.

This agency has taken a distinctive approach to transformation: rather than buying expensive new systems and hoping for the best, it's doing the hard, human-centered work of dismantling bureaucracy, redesigning how services are delivered, and building a digital culture from the inside. A core initiative — which brings departments through rapid, structured sprints to identify and address service delivery friction — will be a major focus of this role.

This is a chief-of-staff style position for a sharp, early-career operator ready to take on real ownership. You'll help senior leaders turn strategy into action — managing complex initiatives across departments, facilitating working sessions, and communicating progress clearly to executive and operational audiences.

What You'll Do

• Serve in a chief-of-staff capacity to Deputy-level leaders within the innovation team, helping translate priorities into structured plans and concrete next steps
• Support coordination and execution of digital transformation sprints, including logistics, stakeholder engagement, documentation, and follow-through on recommendations
• Facilitate working sessions with department staff and senior leaders to map current-state processes, identify friction points, and co-design improvements
• Lead and coordinate cross-functional workstreams, tracking progress, surfacing blockers, and keeping stakeholders aligned across a large, multi-department organization
• Prepare executive-level communications including briefings, memos, presentations, and decision documents for senior agency leadership
• Conduct rapid research and analysis to support emerging decisions and evolving priorities
• Help build the internal documentation, playbooks, and operational systems the innovation team needs to scale its impact countywide
• Operate as a collaborative, low-ego team member who is genuinely embedded in the agency's culture and mission

Who You Are

You're 1–2 years into your career and you're looking for a role where you can do meaningful work and see the results directly. You might be a current or former:

• Business Analyst or Associate at a management consulting firm
• Fellow or analyst at a public sector-focused organization (e.g., a government innovation lab, a civic tech organization, or a public agency)
• Analyst in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment where you built strong project management and communication muscles

The Skillset:

You'll thrive in this role if you:

• Are energized by the mission — you genuinely care about improving how government works and the people it serves
• Are comfortable operating with ambiguity and building structure where there isn't any yet
• Have strong project management instincts and can keep multiple workstreams moving simultaneously
• Can communicate clearly and credibly with both frontline staff and senior leaders
• Understand that real transformation requires engineering culture, not just deploying technology
• Are ready to be embedded — not just advisory — and want to see the direct impact of your work
• Are based in or willing to relocate to the Bay Area

Bonus if you have:

• Familiarity with local or county government operations
• Experience with digital services, human-centered design, or service delivery improvement
• Prior exposure to process redesign, organizational change, or operational improvement
• Interest in civic technology and the future of public service delivery

Location:

This position is based out of San Francisco, California and you must reside within the area. If you are interested in remote-only opportunities, please consider joining our Network for future roles.
