I have 10+ years industry experience, 99% in CRM. If I wanted to hop into Consulting for a change of pace and getting exposure to different types of clients, which Consultancy would be good to look at? What level could I come in at with my experience?

CRM generally, or Salesforce? Program management, engineering, strategy? Salesforce engineers - and certified ones - and in huge demand and 10 years of experience would put you in the senior consultant to manager level.

Salesforce ecosystem, but practically it’s easily transferable.
I do program management, process design and product management for the user experience within the CRM.

You could make the jump and do CRM focused consulting at a Big4/MBB; its a pretty high demand. Alternatively you could look in to solutioning, so working with clients and prospective clients on building out technology roadmaps, and finding ways to improve their org through tech. 10+ would be high M/Low SM; just depends on how you sell yourself.

What is MBB? I see that abbreviation everywhere.

You may learn more and choose your hours if you go independent.

If you can (nothing legally stopping you and you have the capacity), you should. It's a great way to test the waters and see if you like that world of independent consulting. Plus you'll get paid for it.

With that experience I would look for consulting firms that deal with big and complex clients/ deployments that I can be exposed to so that I can keep learning new things. So look for Accenture, Deloitte, etc.

Position? I wouldn't pay attention to the actual role label but to the $$$. Find something that works for you short and medium term and they'll put you in the right spot if they can afford you. Keep it simple here.

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.
