• Build trusted relationships with business leaders, executives, and HR professionals.
• Prepare consulting recommendations, presentations, assessments, and project deliverables.
• Stay current on best practices and emerging trends in organization development, leadership development, talent management, and workplace effectiveness.

Required Qualifications

• Expertise in organization development principles, organizational effectiveness, change management, and leadership development.
• Experience designing and facilitating training programs, workshops, assessments, and organizational interventions.
• Strong consulting and relationship-building skills with the ability to establish credibility with executives, business leaders, and HR professionals.
• Excellent verbal, written, presentation, and facilitation skills.
• Ability to analyze organizational issues and develop strategic recommendations.
• Strong project management and organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and client engagements.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and virtual facilitation platforms.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Organizational Development, Human Resources, Business Administration, Psychology, Leadership, or a related field.
• Professional certifications such as SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPTD, PCC, ACC, DiSC, MBTI, Prosci, or similar credentials.
• Experience working in a consulting, professional services, association, or member-focused organization.
• Experience facilitating strategic planning, succession planning, culture transformation, employee engagement, and leadership development initiatives.
• Experience utilizing organizational assessments, talent assessments, and workforce analytics.
