Statement Co.llab Membership
Hi friend, you must be pretty special.
We don’t invite just anyone to join the Statement Co.llab. This is a highly talented network of trusted professionals who we feel confident recommending for projects. We look for versatile collaborators who align with our values to partner on cool client work.
STEP ONE
Initiate Interest in Collaborating
-
We look for talent with management consulting experience spanning project management, program management, product management, change management, marketing, communications, design, engineering, technology, and leadership. Let us know why you want to join the Statement Co.llab and what qualifies you by emailing hello@statementco.io. This may include your resume, LinkedIn, website, portfolio, or whatever is relevant to telling your story.
-
Our Statement Co.mmunity is a Google Group comprised of consultants who may be independent but don’t want to be alone on that adventure. The Google Group gets you access to the Co.llab NDA for review, insider email updates, and events to connect with our consultants in our network. Join the Group.
STEP TWO
Complete the Vetting Process
-
We ask a standard set of questions of each of our incoming Statement Co.llab members to validate backgrounds, expertise, capability, and culture fit on the team. Schedule a 25-minute call with Founder Sarah Cargill here.
-
You will be invited to start after a successful interview. We invite each incoming Statement Co.llab member to complete an internal project not directly tied to revenue to demonstrate your consulting and collaboration skills. We recommend planning 4-8 hours within 1 business week to complete the case study. Schedule a 25-minute call with our Client Partnership Director for your mini case study pitch back here.
-
Our Statement Co.llab Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) articulates our expectations around confidentiality and actions. This enables us to discuss our client needs more freely with clear expectations around opportunities. If you’re aligned with this agreement, please share your business name and address for us to route a DocuSign.

Get Staffed on Projects With Clients
-
Once you’re added to the Google Group, you’ll receive a meeting invite for a Pipeline Call where we share confidential updates on clients, opportunities, and status. Attendance is optional; however, folks who attend regularly remain top-of-mind for staffing.
-
As work comes up that might be a fit, we’ll give you a shout so that you can share your availability, interest, and weigh in on the proposal for clarity, confidence, estimated hours, etc.
-
Once we’ve identified, sold, and won a body of work to collaborate on together, we’ll invite you to sign a Subk Agreement, which governs the overarching nature of our business relationship, and Subk SOW, which defines the specific client project delivery.
