Full Job Description
Managing Consultant, Business Transformation & Program Management
Department: Business Enablement
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Minneapolis
Description
The RoleWe're looking for consulting athletes: versatile senior consultants who can move fluidly between business transformation, project leadership, and change enablement. These are people who don't stay in one lane. They've done project and program management. And they know how to show up to a complex client problem without all the answers and figure it out.
This role is for someone who thrives in ambiguity, client-facing pressure, and cross-functional chaos. You'll lead transformation initiatives that blend technology, process, and people. You'll build client trust, not just manage timelines. And you'll bring a builder's mentality to everything you touch.
What You'll Do
Lead end-to-end business and technology transformation initiatives for clients across diverse industries
Shape project approach and delivery methods based on client context, not cookie-cutter playbooks
Navigate ambiguity, bring structure to chaos, and define clear paths forward when scope, teams, or timelines shift
Partner with C-suite and executive stakeholders to align initiatives with business strategy and organizational readiness
Design and execute change management strategies that stick: communications, adoption planning, stakeholder engagement, and organizational alignment
Flex between deep project mechanics (roadmaps, dependencies, risks) and strategic business conversations (why this matters, what we're enabling)
Lead cross-functional teams through technology implementations, operational redesigns, or enterprise-wide change programs
Diagnose what's not working, whether it's process, technology, people, or governance, and build solutions that address root causes
Coach and develop junior consultants, modeling what good client leadership and consulting craft looks like
Who You'll Work With
Senior client leaders who value consultants that think strategically and deliver pragmatically
Practice leaders across Business Enablement, EPM, Data & Analytics, People & Change, and other capabilities who collaborate to solve multifaceted problems
A consulting team that values intellectual curiosity, resourcefulness, and doing right by clients-even when it's hard
Leadership that empowers you to own your work, make decisions, and grow your career with intention
What You'll Bring
8+ years of experience in management consulting, advisory services, or boutique/specialist consulting firms
Demonstrated experience leading complex, cross-functional transformation programs: technology-enabled change, operational redesign, or large-scale implementations
A toolkit that includes project/program management, change management, process design, and enough technical fluency to speak intelligently with IT and business teams
Experience with delivery methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid) and the judgment to know when to use which approach
Exposure to enterprise platforms or transformation areas such as ERP, CRM, cloud migrations, data and analytics, digital operations, or organizational change initiatives
Strong executive presence and communication skills: you can synthesize complexity, influence stakeholders, and hold the room with C-level clients
A proactive, solution-oriented mindset: you see problems three steps ahead and bring options, not just escalations
Comfort leading in uncertainty: you don't need perfect information to move forward, and you know how to make smart calls under pressure
An entrepreneurial edge: you're energized by building, not just executing someone else's plan
