Organizational Change Management (OCM) Senior Consultant

Overview:

Our Local Government Practice Group (LGPG), Enterprise Organizational Development Practice is seeking an experienced Organizational Change Management (OCM) practitioner to join our team. This will involve integrating into and providing support to an existing team of OCM practitioners—including a mix of client, BerryDunn, and in some case external partner staff. Such involvement includes working on OCM efforts as a team, as well as leading certain aspects individually. You should have experience leading OCM efforts for a variety of change events, including assessing stakeholder change impact/readiness and developing/executing OCM plans to address differing levels of change impact/readiness. Because we serve a national client base, travel for this role is estimated to be 30%.

In client engagements, you will apply your OCM knowledge and experience to support the desired change, through assisting client staff members with embracing and adopting the change. This will require both providing advice/guidance to our client and taking direction/guidance from client collaborators—and working in collaboration with all members of the existing OCM team. This frequently involves interactions with front-line client staff through executive leadership.

Internally to LGPG, you will help advance our OCM service offerings through formalizing our methodologies, establishing tools and templates, and supporting the development of practitioners around you. You will bring a mix of expert-level OCM and Organizational Development (OD) capabilities, exceptional organizational and self-management qualities, strong leadership and teamwork capabilities, and effective written and verbal communication skills.

There is immense opportunity for growth and career development within the firm and with this position. The chosen candidate will be positioned at the forefront of growing and leading our work in the local government OCM/OD space. We are also supportive of training/education for continuous professional development.

As a LGPG team member:

• Knowledge of, and experience in, Agile or Scrum training are a plus
• Deep knowledge in, and experience with, OCM as a discipline (i.e., experience as a change manager, developing and executing change management plans)
• Demonstrated ability to plan, execute, and monitor OCM activities
• Demonstrated ability to measure change readiness, continually reinforce change, and address resistance to change
• Demonstrated ability to develop and conduct OCM trainings and presentations
