Director Organisation Workforce Transformation

Director Organisation Workforce Transformation

Join us. But be you. At Deloitte, you'll do more than just join something, you'll add something. You've found a place that values your curiosity, passion, and desire to work alongside brilliant people on the things that really matter. There really is only one question: What impact do YOU want to make?

Do you have a passion for leadership, driving organisational change, developing people to maximise their potential, and helping clients unlock business value through people?

Do you thrive working in a dynamic environment with a team of talented people who take pride in delivering great results?

Do you take pride in sharing ideas and experiences, and collaboratively solving problems while making an impact that matters?

You’ll join our Organisation and Workforce Transformation team in Auckland as a Director.

Our team works with large private and public sector organisations to solve complex people, workforce and organisational challenges. We help clients make practical decisions about how their organisation should be designed, how work should be delivered, how leaders can support change, and how people experience work.

Our work spans organisation design, workforce strategy and planning, change management, culture, leadership, employee experience, learning, inclusion, workforce analytics, remuneration, HR technology and service delivery.

We are also focused on how technology, data and responsible AI are changing work. This includes helping clients understand the skills, structures, leadership practices and workforce models they need for the future.

While our work spans a broad range of organisation and workforce challenges, we are particularly interested in leaders who bring deep expertise in organisation design, change management and/or workforce redesign, complemented by broader organisation and workforce transformation experience. We are looking for individuals who can help grow our business through the strength of their relationships, and a strong market profile and eminence in their area of expertise. Candidates will bring an understanding of workforce redesign and future‑of‑work challenges, particularly in the context of AI‑enabled organisations, and be excited by the opportunity to help clients navigate increasingly complex organisational and workforce transformation agendas.

Job Description

The impact you'll make:

As a Director you will play a critical leadership role in shaping and delivering transformational outcomes for our clients. You will be recognised as a trusted advisor to senior executives, leading large‑scale transformation engagements, driving business growth, developing high‑performing teams and bringing innovative solutions to the market.

You will combine strategic thinking with practical execution to help organisations navigate complex change, align stakeholders, and realise the full value of transformation initiatives.

You will bring depth in organisation and workforce transformation, strong commercial judgement, and the ability to lead teams through complex work. You will work closely with Partners, other Directors and teams across Deloitte New Zealand and our global network to bring relevant thinking, methods and experience to our clients.

This role suits an experienced consulting or advisory leader who is comfortable balancing hands‑on delivery, quality assurance, client relationship leadership, market development and contribution to the wider Human Capital leadership team.

Your typical day will include:

• Leading organisation and workforce transformation work with senior client leaders, from early problem definition through to delivery.
• Helping clients make decisions on organisation design, operating models, workforce planning, culture, leadership, employee experience and change.
• Designing practical approaches that support adoption, build capability and improve how work gets done.
• Leading workshops, interviews and working sessions with executives, leaders and teams.
• Managing complex programmes, including scope, quality, commercial performance, resourcing and client outcomes.
• Building strong client relationships and identifying opportunities where Deloitte can add further value.
• Providing executive counsel and leadership to senior clients and stakeholders
• Leading proposals, pursuits and commercial discussions.
• Bringing a clear point of view on workforce trends, technology, data and responsible AI.
• Coaching and developing team members, including Managers, Associate Directors and specialists.
• Working across Deloitte locally and globally to bring the right expertise to client work.
• Acting as part of the Leadership Team of Human Capital to deliver on our annual plan and overall strategy.

Qualifications

• 15+ years' relevant experience across organisation transformation, workforce transformation, change management, operating model design, workforce strategy, HR transformation or related fields.
• Experience leading complex people, workforce or organisation programmes in professional services, consulting, industry or the public sector.
• Depth of experience in two or more of the following areas: organisation design, operating models, workforce planning, change management, culture, leadership, employee experience, learning, inclusion, workforce analytics, HR technology or service delivery.
• Experience advising complex organisations through large‑scale transformation
• Proven ability to work with senior leaders, understand their priorities, and translate complex issues into clear choices.
• Commercial experience, including shaping work, leading proposals, managing engagement economics and growing client relationships.
• Strong facilitation and communication skills, with the ability to lead structured conversations and support decision‑making.
• Confidence working with data, technology and AI‑enabled approaches in a workforce or organisation context.
• Experience leading and developing high‑performing teams.
• A practical, inclusive and collaborative leadership style.
• A relevant tertiary qualification in business, organisational psychology, human resources, organisational development, change management, commerce, leadership, communications or a related discipline is preferred.
• Experience working in a professional services or consulting environment preferred but not essential.
