Junior Transformation Business Consultant

Job Description

Job Description

IMSolutions is seeking a Junior Business Transformation Consultant to support federal executives, program managers, and senior consultants in improving organizational performance, implementing strategic initiatives, analyzing business operations, and supporting enterprise transformation activities.

This role is remote.

This position is intended for an early-career consultant who has developed a solid foundation in management analysis, business process improvement, strategic planning, project support, or organizational transformation and is ready to apply those skills in a federal consulting environment.

The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, analytical, highly organized, and comfortable working with complex or incomplete information. This individual must be able to research unfamiliar business issues, organize findings, document requirements, support stakeholder discussions, and convert analysis into clear recommendations, reports, process documentation, and executive-ready materials.

The Junior Business Transformation Consultant will work under the direction of IMsolution’s senior consultants and project leadership. Although the position is junior in level, the selected candidate must be capable of independently completing assigned analyses, managing deadlines, communicating emerging issues, and producing accurate work products suitable for federal stakeholders.

• Assist senior consultants in developing strategic plans, transformation roadmaps, implementation plans, project plans, and performance-measurement frameworks.
• Maintain project trackers, action-item logs, risk and issue registers, decision logs, deliverable schedules, and document repositories.
• Collect and validate information from program offices, stakeholders, subject-matter experts, source systems, policies, and approved government documents.
• Facilitate or support interviews, workshops, working sessions, status meetings, process-mapping sessions, and stakeholder discussions.
• Capture meeting notes, decisions, action items, responsible parties, dependencies, and due dates.
• Coordinate follow-up activities with Ascension team members and authorized government points of contact.
• Perform cost-benefit, options, root-cause, gap, risk, and implementation analyses under the guidance of senior team members.
• Support portfolio reviews by consolidating status, milestones, risks, resource information, performance measures, and management concerns.
• Research applicable statutes, regulations, policies, guidance, and industry practices supporting regulatory or policy assessments.
• Assist with market research, requirements documentation, acquisition planning materials, statements of work, performance work statements, and procurement-support documentation.
• Support change-management activities, including stakeholder analysis, communications planning, readiness activities, training coordination, and adoption tracking.
• Develop training aids, job aids, presentations, facilitator materials, reference guides, and participant-feedback instruments.
• Review deliverables for completeness, consistency, factual accuracy, grammar, formatting, accessibility, and compliance with approved templates.
• Incorporate government and project-management comments into draft and final deliverables within established review periods.
• Apply Section 508 accessibility principles when preparing documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and other electronic materials.
• Protect government information, records, draft products, and other sensitive materials from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
