The Change & Transformation Consultant partners with livingHR clients to lead the human side of enterprise transformation—helping organizations redesign how work gets done in the face of AI, digital transformation, evolving workforce models, and shifting business strategies.
This role is deeply client-facing and delivery-focused, operating as the hands-on change practitioner embedded within transformation programs that may include workforce redesign, operating model shifts, HR and technology modernization, and AI-enabled ways of working. The consultant works closely with livingHR Principals, project managers, and client executive sponsors to translate transformation strategy into practical, people-centered execution that drives adoption, readiness, and sustainable outcomes.
livingHR consultants are trusted advisors who balance structured change methodologies with real-world pragmatism, ensuring transformation is not just implemented—but truly adopted.
