About the role

As a Senior Consultant in HR Transformation, you will guide senior HR and business stakeholders through end-to-end HR transformation engagements. You’ll partner with HR leaders to shape HR function strategy, service delivery models, organizational structures, and transformation business cases. Your work will include designing and optimizing core HR processes—such as hire-to-retire, performance, and learning and development—with a focus on efficiency, employee experience, and scalability. Experience with payroll and time-related workflows is ideal.

You will also lead and support HR technology advisory engagements, including HRIS vendor selection, implementation readiness, and post go-live optimization, serving as the voice of the business. Additionally, you’ll contribute to people analytics and strategic workforce planning, assess current-state HR operations, design future-state processes, and prepare organizations for successful HR transformation and technology enablement. A key part of your role will involve helping clients identify and implement AI-enabled HR use cases—such as employee self-service, talent acquisition, workforce insights, and HR operations—as part of broader transformation initiatives.

Beyond client delivery, you’ll collaborate across Slalom’s Workforce Modernization portfolio, working with Change Acceleration and Talent & Culture practitioners on full-spectrum workforce transformation programs. You’ll also contribute to practice development, including offerings, tools, thought leadership, and go-to-market materials.
