Join our Team

DSRD Consulting is a firm with a two-pronged focus. We work with companies to incorporate DEI into their operations so that they can enhance their company culture and have happy employees. We also work with DEI Consultants, Startups, and small business owners to enhance their mental health through community, process automation, and business development. We are committed to practicing what we teach by using a lens of equity and a human-centered approach in the way we operate internally and by partnering with organizations to center those who need the most resources and support. Check out our values:

EQUITY

We believe in meeting people where they are in a way that is in alignment with the highest good of all parties involved. For us, this means using a lens of accessibility and intersectionality to provide support, safety, and access to resources that they need.

COMMUNICATION

We believe in the open and direct sharing of information, needs, wants, and boundaries. We encourage our people to be grounded in their autonomy to communicate in a way that is most comfortable for them without bringing harm to others.

TRANSPARENCY

While we believe in healthy boundary setting and staying clear of oversharing, we are a “lay your cards on the table” type of company. This helps us cultivate organic vulnerability and strengthens the culture of safety across our company.

COMMUNITY

We define community as the reciprocal pouring into, uplifting, and creating space for others to exist. Doing so in a healthy way that aligns with personal boundaries and without infringing on the emotional and social capacity of others.

The Role

We are seeking a passionate DEI Program Manager to oversee the implementation and management of DSRDC's online programs to ensure that they are well-executed, effective, and impactful. The DEI Program Manager will also play a key role in creating strong connections with critical stakeholders, both internally and externally, to enhance and sustain the quality of our programs while fostering engagement and a culture of knowledge sharing and community for our students.

This role will report directly to our Founder & CEO.
