Principal, Human Capital

Taidou is a private management consulting firm built around a simple idea: real, measurable results for our clients, not reports that gather dust. Our consulting practice brings eight service lines — AI & Engineering, Assurance, Finance, Global Services, Human Capital, Project Management, Regulatory, Risk & Forensic, and Transformation Consulting — to organizations in complex, regulated sectors across aerospace & defense, consumer, education, energy, financial services, government & public services, health care, insurance, sports, technology, media & telecom, and utilities & renewables.

We are senior-led and built flat: the people in the first conversation are the people doing the work, every engagement starts with a written list of what we are deliberately not doing, and we hand over only once the change is running — to named owners inside the client. We take no referral fees, reseller margins or commissions from any vendor, which is what lets us tell a client the answer is not to buy anything.

The Role

As Principal, Human Capital, you lead the Human Capital service line. You set its strategy and offerings, own its revenue and quality, build its team, and are the firm's senior voice in this discipline — with clients, in the market and inside Taidou. Operating model, org design, workforce planning and the change work that decides whether any of it survives first contact with the people doing the job.

What You'll Do

• Lead the Human Capital service line: strategy, offerings, go-to-market, revenue and quality.
• Shape the practice's offerings in Organization Design, Workforce Planning, Change & Adoption and Post-Merger Organization.
• Own the most senior client relationships and originate the largest engagements.
• Hire, lead and develop the service line's team, from senior consultants to senior directors.
• Set delivery standards — named scope, named exclusions, handover after adoption — and hold the practice to them.
• Work with the other service lines, Taidou Atlas and Taidou GPS on cross-practice work.
• Represent Taidou externally as a recognized expert in the field.

• 15+ years of experience in human capital, including building or leading a practice, business line or function.
