Heya Christine! If you wanted information about skills as consultants, or those of consulting businesses, it certainly would help if you asked that straight up rather than asking about how to market or promote the wider skills of a Technical Communicator. It is possible that "Business Analyst" might be a role getting close to what you're looking for. This is a role in IT that a number of Tech Comms people move into as part of career progression and certainly addresses some of the analysis, design and general management processes you mention. However, I am under the impression that you are looking more for a broader means of promoting/soliciting work for a business that concerns more than just Tech writing, no? Perhaps a squiz at some of the websites for various companies similar to yours may help you in your quest.
