Research and advisory firm navigating Arctic resource development and community governance
North Star Group is a 20-year-old Alaska Native and woman-owned consulting firm operating across Alaska, the Arctic, and expanding internationally. The tech stack reveals a disconnect: the company lists enterprise security tools (Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel) and ERP systems (SAP S/4HANA, Blackline, Vertex) alongside research-focused analytics, but the public business model emphasizes social-performance consulting and community engagement — suggesting either a significant hidden services arm or misaligned stack metadata. Active hiring is accelerating across engineering (5 roles) and security (2), all senior-level, pointing toward either a technical service expansion or infrastructure modernization initiative underway.
North Star Group advises business, government, and organizations on social and economic sustainability across Arctic and resource-development contexts. The firm specializes in community engagement, Indigenous affairs, and strategic communication, with a global network spanning Anchorage, Washington D.C., Paris, and partner organizations worldwide. The organization operates as a subsidiary of NSG Global, LLC, an Alaska Native and woman-owned small business providing broader procurement, marketing, and program-management services. Current project work focuses on e-invoicing platforms, SAP implementations, ERP integrations, and financial-reconciliation tooling.
