Who We Are FTI Consulting is the leading global expert firm for organizations facing crisis and transformation. We work with many of the world's top multinational corporations, law firms, banks and private equity firms on their most important issues to deliver impact that makes a difference.

At FTI Consulting, you'll work side by side with leaders who have shaped history, helping solve the biggest challenges making headlines today. From day one, you'll be an integral part of a focused team where you can make a real impact. You'll be surrounded by an open, collaborative culture that embraces diversity, recognition, professional development and, most importantly, you. Are you ready to make your impact?
We are currently seeking a Director for our Human Capital Transactions & Transformation Services team. This team helps our clients drive value in various business contexts, including Mergers & Acquisitions, Business Transformations, and Restructurings. The Human Capital Transactions & Transformation practice is a rapidly growing practice at FTI. We combine deep technical expertise in the HR function, organizational design, workforce management, and compensation & benefits space to help our clients make informed decisions, focusing on organizational and HR issues that materially impact enterprise valuation and mitigate risk.
The Director will collaborate with our clients and internal project teams across the M&A and transformation lifecycles. You will use your strategic style and expertise in the following key areas:
- HR Due Diligence (pre-sign): focused on the financial aspects of the HR function, compensation and benefits
- Merger Integrations (post-sign): focused on identifying synergies within the HR functions, compensation and benefits programs and execution planning
- Carve-Outs (post-sign): focused on standing up a new HR function, including payroll / HCM, compensation and benefits programs
- HR Strategy & Transformation: designing and implementing target operating models based on industry-leading practices that span across all aspects of an HR function, including people, process, technology and governance
- SG&A Optimization: reviewing SG&A functions and identifying potential savings through various strategies (e.g., offshoring, outsourcing, shared services, centers of excellence, centralization, etc.)
In addition, you'll play a key role in the growth of the practice in the following areas:
- Developing and maintaining relationships within the firm and externally to identify new sales opportunities
- Serve as the key project delivery leader, building long-term, trusting relationships with clients
- Build new practice tools, go-to-market materials and capabilities or service lines as the needs and demands of the market evolve
- Mentoring and training junior staff
This is an excellent opportunity to enhance and expand your Human Capital services profile and background. You will partner with our diverse clients and internal teams in various industries to continue to learn and grow in new and complex areas and technologies. Beyond HR transformation and transactions, this position will also have the unique opportunity to work on IPO readiness, total rewards optimization, and restructuring engagements as they arise in order to gain a variety of skills towards becoming a more well-rounded practitioner.
