Join Our Team

“KOJA has always completed projects on time and on budget. Leave-behind materials have been through and appropriate for the team. We now plan our projects and submit grant applications with KOJA top of mind to lead our projects.”

“We initially engaged KOJA Consulting to undertake a short compliance review project. The process was efficient and thorough and we have continued to hire KOJA every year since to lead a wide variety of strategic projects with and for our team, including several critical RFP development to project close-out projects.”

“KOJA has undertaken a wide variety of projects for our team, and always completed them on time and on budget. KOJA is quick to understand the depth and breadth of stakeholders and identify risks at all points in time. Communication and reporting has always been timely and appropriate.”

“Our team had capacity and skill-set issues to lead strategic projects internally. KOJA filled this gap for us and brought even more to the table than we expected. It has been hugely advantageous to have input and insight from someone who has a fresh perspective and can offer different solutions to how we’ve always done things.”

“KOJA offers practical, accessible, and thoughtful solutions at every stage of every initiative. KOJA’s understanding of the end-user experience has been critical to the success of each project.”

“We have engaged KOJA Consulting for a number of short and long term projects. KOJA Consulting supported us through a large accreditation project with a short turn-around and a hard deadline. They very quickly got up to speed with the complex requirements, developed a team schedule and kept us on track. The end result was that we were awarded the maximum reaccreditation term with no deficiencies.”

“Our success in the project was directly attributable to KOJA Consulting’s coordination. Koja Consulting also provides ongoing support for a client committee/advisory group, driving the groups agenda forward with meeting and project coordination, document management, scheduling, agendas/minutes and action items. Our experience has proven that KOJA has very strong communication and follow through skills, in addition to all the other attributes of a trustworthy project manager and administrator.”
