Job description

We embraceall candidatesthatwillcontribute to the diversification and enrichment of ideas andperspectives atAHEAD.

The Enterprise Change & Transformation Consultant builds organizations' capacity to change continuously — not just to land a single initiative. Rather than executing one-off communication and training plans for a discrete rollout, this role helps clients stand up durable change capability: Centers of Excellence, self-service playbooks, and manager-led change practices that make the organization resilient to constant transformation, well beyond any one project's go-live date.

Consistent with AHEAD's Consultant capability tier, this role is the engine of an engagement: day-to-day contact for analyst- and manager-level client stakeholders, and owner of a discrete enterprise change and transformation deliverable or workstream. The Consultant structures sub-problems, develops hypotheses, and produces client-ready work with limited supervision, while beginning to informally coach Associates.

What's New in This Role

From Project-Based to Capability Building

This role moves beyond writing communication plans and hosting training sessions for a single software rollout or restructure. The focus shifts to establishing internal Centers of Excellence, coaching line managers to lead their own teams through continuous shifts, and creating scalable self-service playbooks so the entire organization becomes resilient to ongoing transformation — not just the current project.

From Activity Metrics to Value Realization

Success is no longer measured by output metrics such as emails sent, town halls hosted, or training modules completed. The Consultant uses data and analytics to prove actual behavioral change, tracks real business outcomes, and measures value realization long after a project's go-live date.

Integration of Artificial Intelligence

Rather than relying entirely on manual stakeholder mapping, generic templates, and human-crafted messaging, the Consultant utilizes enterprise AI tools to draft communications, analyze employee feedback sentiment, map impact data rapidly, and scale day-to-day practitioner workflows.

Responsibilities

Enterprise Change Capability & Transformation

• Support the design and stand-up of client Centers of Excellence (CoE) for change, including governance, playbooks, and role definitions that let the client sustain change practice after AHEAD's engagement ends.
• Coach line managers to lead their own teams through continuous, overlapping shifts, building manager-led change capability rather than centralizing it with the project team.
• Develop scalable, self-service change playbooks, toolkits, and templates that business units can apply independently to future transformations.
• Apply OCM theories and models, such as Prosci and ADKAR, to develop and conduct OCM assessments and plans, adapted for an enterprise, continuous-change context rather than a single rollout.
• Analyze change impacts across processes
