Experienced Human Capital Management Consultant

If you are looking for an opportunity to directly contribute to a dynamic, team-centric environment where you will work side-by-side with leadership learning from some of the most experienced and respected professionals in the industry on a broad range of general management consulting engagements, you are looking in the right place.

ScottMadden is a general management consulting firm with three main practice areas — Energy, Corporate & Shared Services, and Enterprise & Specialized Services. We work with forward-thinking clients across a wide variety of business units and functions, including human capital management, finance & accounting, supply chain and more. Our industry focus is also expansive, including health care, higher education, technology, communications, manufacturing, consumer products and professional services, among others.

We are seeking talent with Human Capital Management consulting experience to join our Corporate & Shared Services practice. Experienced HCM consultants are expected to have the leadership, project management, and client relationship skills necessary to successfully manage a variety of project types and sizes.

Travel, at the discretion of the client, may be necessary.

You will work on small project teams to identify, and often implement, solutions to client problems and challenges. Project teams are typically composed of three or four consultants and a partner. Working closely with experienced ScottMadden consultants and partners will maximize your learning and enable meaningful project contributions from your very first assignment.

ScottMadden is an inclusive, tight-knit community of professionals where both collaboration and individual performance are rewarded. Initiative and creativity are recognized and valued. Our culture is both collegial and entrepreneurial. Employees build relationships that extend beyond the office and are always willing to help one  another to ensure the work for our clients is done right.

ScottMadden is an ideal place to make your mark and take your career to the next level. Consultants are provided a supportive network for career advancement. You will be assigned a senior-level sponsor who encourages and supports your development goals, and a similar-level onboarding ambassador who ensures you have all the tools needed to be successful during your first year with the firm. Feedback is provided frequently, with structured review processes occurring at the end of each project and annually.

Promotions occur on a quarterly basis and are paced to each individual’s progress. Bonuses are earned quarterly based on the objective measure of utilization.

Our ideal candidate is well rounded and possesses the following:

• Strong project and resource management skills
• Knowledge of leading practice HCM service delivery models and components, including processes, technologies, organizational designs, and roles and responsibilities
• Experience in the creation of project related deliverables such as process maps, project plans, change management assessments, implementation plans, communication plans, and financial models
• Ability to contribute to the HCM consulting practice (methodologies, service offerings, team development, client relationships), and drive best practice consulting behaviors into the organization
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Advanced problem-solving and analytical skills
• Ability to learn quickly
• Enthusiasm and initiative
• Creativity (necessary for the development of custom solutions)
• Focused, strategic, and critical thinking
• Ability to engage with people at all levels of an organization
• Service-oriented and client-focused

• MBA or other relevant advanced degree
• HCM consulting experience (3+ years preferred)
• Knowledge of HR Function/HR Transformation/Human Capital Management
• Experience in Shared Services is preferred
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Visio, Project and Outlook)

Position Level 

The experience requirements outlined above represent a baseline for consideration for an experienced consultant position at ScottMadden. We recognize that candidates bring different combinations of experience, expertise, and capabilities. Candidates with more extensive relevant experience will be considered for a more senior level within the organization, with the specific level determined based on interview performance, qualifications and overall fit. 

Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for sponsorship now or in the future, as ScottMadden does not provide visa sponsorship.

Ideally we would like candidates that are located and can work from one of our offices (Raleigh, Atlanta and Greater Boston Area) but will consider remote hires for the right talent
