You Are:

You leverage AI and analytics to craft talent strategies and new skilling approaches that fit a client's unique needs. In fact, your experience in the field makes you a leader that people look to for advice while your people and storytelling skills mean you have no problem helping clients understand their choices.

  • Collaborate with Ecosystem Alliance Partners using Gen AI, agentic AI, and automation technologies to design solutions that reshape how work gets done across human and machine workers
  • Work with clients and use data to identify how roles must evolve, what work should shift to machines, and what uniquely human capabilities to build and why for each direction
  • Design AI-enabled operating models where humans focus on judgment, creativity, and exceptions while machines handle routine processing and pattern recognition
  • Co-create and support enterprise-wide reinvention conversations that connect workforce transformation to business strategy and value creation
  • Design and drive change programs that move organizations from analysis to action-helping leaders adopt new ways of working and manage blended human-machine teams
  • Lead authentically and with a people-first mindset that fosters inclusivity and celebrates diversity. Mentor team members, providing them with experiences to continually learn and grow
  • Manage and support business development efforts, including Statements of Work (SOW), proposal development, and client presentations
  • Contribute to practice development initiatives including culture building, internal community involvement, capability development, recruiting, and whitepapers


Ability to travel up to 80%; travel as needed based on client expectations.

Here's what you need:
  • Minimum of 8 years of experience working across integrated Talent functions including Talent Strategy, Strategic Workforce Planning, Skills-Based Talent Practices, Talent Intelligence, Strategic Sourcing, Learning Strategy & Development, Workforce Transformation, and Technology Talent Development.
  • Minimum of 5 years of consulting experience designing and delivering workforce, talent, organization, or change solutions
  • Minimum of 1 year of experience helping organizations prepare for AI-enabled workforce transformation
  • Minimum of 1 year of experience serving utilities clients (electric, gas, or water) or in a utilities finance, controllership, or regulatory function.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years' work experience). If Associate's Degree, must have equivalent minimum 6-year work experience


Bonus points if:
  • You have experience working on programs in the Customer Service / Customer Operations domain and / or Field Operations
