HR Transformation- Senior Consultant

Slalom is an equal opportunity employer focused on building diverse teams and delivering meaningful outcomes through modern consulting practices.

About the role

As a Senior Consultant in HR Transformation, you will guide senior HR and business stakeholders through full-lifecycle HR transformation engagements—from discovery and current-state assessment to future-state operating-model design and delivery. You will partner with HR leaders on strategy, service-delivery models, organizational structure, and transformation business cases, while optimizing core HR processes (hire-to-retire, performance, learning and development) for efficiency, employee experience, and scalability. Payroll and time/absence workflow experience is ideal.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end HR transformation engagements, including discovery, current-state assessment, and future-state design of HR operating models and processes.
• Support HR leaders in strategy, service delivery model design, organizational structure, and transformation business case development through structured analysis and facilitation.
• Design and optimize core HR processes (hire-to-retire, performance, learning and development) with a focus on efficiency, employee experience, and scalability; ensure end-to-end process integrity.
• Advise on HR technology, including HRIS vendor selection, implementation readiness, and post go-live optimization, serving as the business voice rather than the configurator.
• Apply expertise across HR transformation engagements to assess current-state, design future-state processes, and prepare organizations for successful HR transformation and technology enablement; payroll and time/absence expertise is ideal.
• Contribute to people analytics and strategic workforce planning engagements, including workforce insights, reporting, supply and demand modeling, and workforce scenario planning.
• Build trusted relationships with client stakeholders and project teams to drive successful outcomes and expand Slalom’s footprint.
• Support HR Transformation practice development, including offerings, tools, thought leadership, and go-to-market materials; payroll and time/absence experience is ideal.
• Help clients identify, prioritize, and implement AI-enabled HR use cases—such as employee self-service, talent acquisition, workforce insights, knowledge management, and HR operations—as part of broader HR transformation initiatives.
• Collaborate across Slalom’s Workforce Modernization portfolio with Change Acceleration and Talent & Culture practitioners on full-spectrum workforce transformation programs.

Requirements

• 5–8+ years of experience in HR consulting, HR advisory, or a related field with a strong foundation in HR operating model design, HR process optimization, or HR function strategy.
• Proven ability to lead discovery, design, and delivery across HR engagements—from CHRO-level strategy conversations to hands-on process mapping and design workshops.
• Experience advising clients on HR service delivery models, organizational structures, and governance frameworks.
• Familiarity with the HRIS landscape (e.g., Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM) and ability to serve as a system-agnostic process and advisory partner during technology decisions and implementations.
• Hands-on experience in one or more specialized HR domains, including payroll, time & absence, workforce management, HR shared services, employee experience, talent operations, or HR service delivery—including process design, assessment, or advisory work.
• Understanding of people analytics and strategic workforce planning concepts, with the ability to contribute meaningfully to analytics and planning engagements.
• Ability to work effectively across business and technical stakeholders, translating HR strategy and operational requirements to drive design and process decisions.
• Experience contributing to practice development, thought leadership, client offerings, or delivery tools through personal experience and perspective.
• Strong project management and stakeholder facilitation skills with a track record of delivering high-quality client work on time.
• Background in HR, HR consulting, or HRIS, with familiarity across the hire-to-retire lifecycle, including payroll and workforce management processes.
• Experience advising business leaders on emerging HR trends, including AI and intelligent automation, with the ability to identify high-value use cases and guide adoption and change.
• Track record of mentoring junior practitioners and sharing expertise through coaching, knowledge capture, or team development.
• Comfort engaging in business development activities—identifying opportunities, contributing to pursuits, and positioning Slalom’s HR Transformation capabilities with clients.
