• Conduct current-state assessments, stakeholder interviews, workshop sessions, and analysis to identify organizational and HR process improvement opportunities.
• Develop clear, actionable recommendations related to HR operating model design, HR organizational structure, governance, process improvement, and employee-facing HR practices.
• Lead / co-lead internal and client meetings, manage project workflows, and coordinate deliverables across workstreams and stakeholders, using strong project and stakeholder management skills to keep teams aligned and engagements on track.
• Analyze and interpret qualitative and quantitative data to determine project direction, support hypotheses, and identify implications for clients.
• Create high-quality client materials, including presentations, reports, summary exhibits, and recommendations for senior leadership audiences.
• Contribute to engagements related to talent acquisition, performance management, promotion processes, HR technology/vendor selection, and HR organizational review.
• Collaborate across lines of business and with cross-functional colleagues to support integrated client solutions where appropriate.
• Help coach junior team members by providing guidance on analysis, work planning, and deliverable development.
• Contribute to internal knowledge building, tools, methodology enhancement, and select proposal support, as needed, including the use of AI-enabled tools to support research, analysis, content development, and day-to-day project execution.

What you need to have:

• 5+ years of relevant experience in consulting, HR transformation, HR strategy, organizational effectiveness, or a related people consulting environment
• Experience supporting and/or leading projects involving HR transformation, HR process redesign, organizational design, HR service delivery, HR technology/vendor management, talent processes, or performance management
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to synthesize findings into clear and practical recommendations
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create polished client-ready presentations and reports
• Experience managing multiple priorities and delivering high-quality work in a fast-paced, client-service environment

• Awareness of technology used to power HR -- whether HCM or point solutions
• Ability to connect business strategy to HR program and operating model decisions
• Experience structuring executive-ready materials that translate data and analysis into compelling observations and recommendations
• Comfort facilitating client discussions, working sessions, and stakeholder interviews
• Experience mentoring more junior consultants and helping elevate team delivery quality
