Senior Business Transformation Consultant

IMSolutions is seeking an experienced Senior Business Transformation Consultant to help senior federal executives evaluate complex organizational challenges, improve operating performance, and implement practical transformation initiatives.

This role is remote.

This role is intended for a seasoned management consultant who can move comfortably between strategy and execution. The selected professional will work with executives, program leaders, analysts, acquisition professionals, workforce stakeholders, and technical teams to translate strategic priorities into actionable plans, measurable performance improvements, and sustainable operating practices.

The ideal candidate brings broad federal management consulting experience across several disciplines, including organizational transformation, operational efficiency, portfolio analytics, policy and governance, succession planning, executive communications, procurement support, and leadership training. The consultant must be capable of evaluating ambiguous or evolving requirements, structuring the problem, developing evidence-based recommendations, and helping stakeholders implement the resulting solution.

The position supports HUD's objective of strengthening its operational capabilities, promoting efficiency, implementing reorganization and succession-planning initiatives, and maintaining alignment between departmental operations and HUD's long-term mission.

Position Summary

The Senior Business Transformation Consultant provides strategic, analytical, and implementation support for HUD executive initiatives. The consultant assesses current operating conditions, identifies performance gaps, analyzes business and portfolio data, and recommends solutions that improve organizational effectiveness, accountability, resource utilization, and decision-making.

Assignments may span multiple HUD Executive Support Services BPA scope areas, including:

• Executive-level advisory consulting
• Operational efficiency
• Enterprise transformation
• Portfolio performance analytics and reporting
• Regulatory assessment and policy formulation
• Succession planning
• Executive briefings
• Governance, compliance, and assurance
• Executive partnership management
• Procurement consulting
• Executive training

The role requires someone who is self-directed, diplomatic, analytical, organized, and comfortable operating in an environment where priorities may change quickly. The consultant must know how to distinguish between symptoms and root causes, develop realistic recommendations, and help stakeholders carry those recommendations through implementation.

Because this is a non-personal services contract, the consultant will remain under IMSolution's supervision and direction. The individual will provide analysis, advice, and implementation support but will not perform inherently governmental functions or make policy, funding, acquisition, or management decisions on behalf of HUD.

These functions include:

• ADVISE executive and program stakeholders on strategic initiatives, organizational performance, operational risks, resource allocation, and transformation priorities.
• ASSESS current organizational structures, business processes, workflows, governance models, internal controls, and performance-management practices.

• TRANSLATE strategic objectives into measurable initiatives, milestones, performance indicators, work plans, and reporting requirements.
• FACILITATE executive interviews, working sessions, focus groups, process-mapping sessions, planning meetings, and stakeholder workshops.
• DOCUMENT current-state and future-state processes using process maps, responsibility matrices, standard operating procedures, decision frameworks, and supporting narratives.
• DESIGN performance measurement frameworks, executive dashboards, scorecards, data-collection processes, and portfolio reporting structures.
• SYNTHESIZE complex program, policy, financial, workforce, acquisition, and operational information into concise executive-level findings.
• PREPARE executive briefings, presentations, talking points, decision memoranda, white papers, status reports, and recommendations.
• EVALUATE proposed regulations, policies, operating procedures, or organizational changes for mission, workforce, compliance, cost, and implementation impacts.
• SUPPORT succession-planning activities by identifying critical roles, assessing workforce risks, documenting competency needs, and developing leadership-continuity strategies.
• ADVISE stakeholders on federal procurement strategy, requirements development, market research, acquisition planning, performance measures, and contract-management considerations when assigned to procurement-related task orders.
• DEVELOP change-management, stakeholder-engagement, communication, implementation, and training plans for approved transformation initiatives.
• MONITOR implementation progress, performance indicators, risks, dependencies, decisions, and corrective actions.
• VALIDATE the accuracy, completeness, traceability, and executive usability of reports, analyses, briefings, and other deliverables.
• INCORPORATE HUD comments and revise draft deliverables within required review and acceptance periods.
• MAINTAIN organized project files, source documentation, decision records, version histories, assumptions, and analytical work products.
• PROTECT sensitive, proprietary, personally identifiable, and controlled information in accordance with applicable federal and HUD requirements.
• COLLABORATE with Ascension leadership and multidisciplinary team members to ensure consistent, timely, and quality-controlled delivery.
