[Hiring] Senior Consultant Organizational Change Management @Argano

Role Description

Argano's Business Consulting practice partners with organizations to design, optimize, and transform how work gets done — connecting strategy to execution by ensuring the people side of change is never an afterthought. As a Lead OCM Consultant, you will own the change management workstream on complex client engagements, leading the strategies, plans, and interventions that drive real adoption and help people move through change successfully.

This is a senior practitioner role — not a project coordinator. You will work directly with executives and senior leaders, coaching them to play their sponsorship roles effectively. You will design and execute stakeholder engagement plans, impact assessments, communications strategies, and training frameworks. You will also serve as a subject matter authority within Argano's community of practice, developing colleagues and contributing to the methodologies that define how we deliver OCM.

Typical engagements include:

• ERP and enterprise technology implementations
• Operating model redesigns
• Organizational restructuring
• Process transformation programs
• Post-merger integration

You will work across one or more concurrent engagements at any given time.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree preferred; psychology, organizational behavior, communications, business, or HR disciplines are strong fits
• Advanced degree (MBA, MS in Organizational Development, I/O Psychology, or related field) is an advantage
• Prosci ADKAR certification or equivalent change management certification is strongly preferred
• Additional relevant credentials — CCMP, Kotter, LaMarsh, or similar — are valued

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on organizational change management experience on complex, enterprise-scale transformation programs
• Demonstrated end-to-end OCM delivery capability — from change strategy through stakeholder engagement, communications, training, and sustainment
• Proven experience working directly with senior executives as an OCM coach and advisor — not just as a communications or training executor
• Solid understanding of how people go through change — the psychology, the resistance patterns, the adoption curve, and what actually moves people from awareness to commitment
• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain strong relationships across all levels of an organization, from front-line employees to C-suite executives
• Experience on large-scale organizational change efforts — enterprise technology implementations, process transformation, restructuring, or post-merger integration
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — ability to craft clear, compelling, audience-appropriate messaging and to present confidently to senior stakeholders
• Ability to influence without formal authority, navigate ambiguity, and move diverse groups of stakeholders toward a common goal.

Benefits

• Up to 50% travel to client sites, depending on project phase and engagement requirements — typically higher during assessment, design workshops, and go-live support phases

What We're Looking For

• Leads with empathy — genuinely understands what it feels like to be on the receiving end of change, and designs interventions with real human experience in mind
• Earns credibility fast — can walk into a room of skeptical executives and quickly establish the trust and authority needed to coach effectively
• Communicates with precision — knows that the right message, to the right audience, at the right moment is what moves people, and designs every communication with that in mind
• Operates as a strategic partner, not a support function — understands the business objectives driving the change and connects OCM activities directly to those outcomes
• Is comfortable with ambiguity and resistance — doesn't need perfect conditions to do good work, and doesn't take resistance personally
• Develops others — genuinely invested in making junior practitioners better, and in building a stronger OCM practice at Argano
