As Implementation Consultants, our job is to translate the client’s needs into technical solutions–which is a lot of fun for those up to the challenge! This means we work in two realms simultaneously. The first involves understanding the client’s overall goals, as well as their day-to-day business practices. We carefully gather this information through presentations, design sessions, and live demonstrations. Then we use all the business knowledge we gather about the client’s business practices and get down to the problem-solving. Integrity, flexibility, and good communication skills are key to becoming a well-rounded Implementation Consultant. Helping our clients transition from out-of-date and inflexible systems, to a robust, dynamic FAST system is an amazing experience. – Michael, FASTie since 2013

The Administrative Assistant role is one of the most multifaceted positions at FAST. We work closely with Project Managers to keep FAST sites running smoothly and efficiently. Onboarding, reconciling finances, managing calendars, and drafting documents and processing reports are often daily tasks for this job. Whether we are finding a place to live for a new hire, helping state executives produce a webinar for 300 employees, planning a rollout party for the entire site and significant others, booking hotel rooms for the Training team’s travel schedule, or stocking enough food and snacks for an overnight conversion, no two days are ever the same. Being organized is a given, and being social is a must. Administrative Assistants have the opportunity to set the tone for each site through event planning, providing food, and finding time for breaks and games. If you are independent and self-motivated and you thrive on little direction and lots of freedom, helping your peers succeed by becoming an Admin at FAST will be a rewarding choice for you. – Gus, FASTie since 2016
