Senior Change Management Consultant

Senior Change Management Consultant

Elire is looking to expand the internal team and has an opening for an experienced Senior Change Management Consultant to join our Strategic Advisory Services Practice. This role's primary responsibility is to support large-scale ERP and HCM software transformation projects. This role is hands-on, results-driven, and requires someone who can manage their own workload, lead conversations with clients, and ensure the change management effort delivers clear, tangible value.

As a Senior Change Management Consultant, you will be a part of an Advisory Services team that works with clients throughout the US to develop the change strategy, communication plans, training material, stakeholder engagement activities, and other deliverables to support complex ERP application transformation projects. You'll work closely with both client teams and internal technical staff to ensure users are prepared for upcoming changes. You'll also lead a small internal team responsible for training and communications and have the opportunity to shape how our change approach is applied and improved over time. We want to leverage your skills and experience to effectively manage change from the C Suite to the end user.

This resource will be expected to perform the following activities:

• Lead the change management effort for ERP and HCM enterprise software projects from planning through execution
• Drive strategy discussions with client stakeholders, influence outcomes, and recommend realistic, effective ways to reach different user groups
• Build and maintain a detailed change plan that includes communications, training, readiness, and user engagement activities
• Manage a small internal team of training and communications specialists, and collaborate with client-side change or HR/Finance/resources
• Work closely with technical and functional project staff to understand system changes and how they affect end users
• Own your deliverables, timeline, and scope while staying in alignment with the larger implementation team
• Develop and deliver clear, high-quality materials including training content, executive updates, and user guidance
• Monitor adoption, identify and report potential issues, and adjust plans as needed
• Offer feedback and improvements to our change methodology to keep it practical and effective
• Mentor and support junior change management staff

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of experience in change management, organizational development, or training and communications roles
• 5+ years working on enterprise software projects (ERP, HCM, or similar)
• Strong knowledge of Human Resources and/or Accounting business processes
• Comfortable speaking with executives, frontline staff, and technical teams alike
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to both work independently and manage others
• Clear writing and presentation skills—able to explain complex ideas in simple terms
• Familiarity with structured change frameworks (e.g., Prosci/ADKAR, Kotter), and a willingness to apply them flexibly according to contract-specific requirements
• Demonstrated experience working with government agencies, federally funded institutions, or other mission-driven, policy-governed environments
• Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree or relevant certifications a plus

Nice to Have

• Change management certification (e.g., Prosci, CCMP, PMP with change focus)
• Experience working on PeopleSoft, Oracle eBusiness Suite, Oracle Cloud, Workday, SAP, or similar platforms
• Experience in federal or public sector transformation initiatives
• Background in training development, communications, or adult learning

Experience with supplemental tools (Canva, Smartsheet, Visio, MS Project)

All applicants must also meet the following requirements:

You may reside anywhere in the United States
