  • Develop process frameworks, workforce plans, and tech-enablement strategies.
  • Build business cases and implementation road maps.
  • Lead multi-workstream HR transformation initiatives.
  • Drive org design, process redesign, policy alignment, and culture change.
  • Oversee change management and transformation governance.
  • Advise senior HR leaders and the C-suite on people strategy and modernization.
  • Build strong executive relationships and expand account opportunities.
  • Facilitate workshops and executive decision-making sessions.
  • Contribute to new offerings, frameworks, and market insights.
  • Support proposals, solution design, pricing, and sales efforts.
  • Publish thought leadership and represent the firm externally.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop consulting teams.
  • Build capabilities and support career growth.
  • Foster an inclusive, high-performing team culture.
  • Other duties as assigned

You have the following technical skills and qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, Organizational Development, or a related field.
  • Master's degree (MBA, MSOD, MHR) strongly preferred.
  • HR or change-related certification (e.g., SHRM SCP, SPHR, Prosci)
  • 10+ years in HR transformation and consulting, with a proven track record of managing large projects and teams.
  • Deep knowledge of HR operating models including people, process, technology, and service delivery.
  • Experience leading and executing on HR Diligence across all aspects of people and the HR function.
  • Exceptional leadership, strategic thinking, and executive-level communication.
  • Ability to influence senior stakeholders and deliver high-impact solutions in complex environments.
  • Ability to align transformation initiatives with broader business strategy and workforce trends.
  • Familiarity with automation tools and data analytics to drive process improvement.
  • Track record of mentoring teams, developing intellectual capital, and driving practice growth.
  • Strong project management, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Have excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Can travel as needed. Up to 50%.

The base salary range for this position is between $197,800 and $255,904.
