About the role
Senior Change Management Consultant (High-Impact Engagements)
At ScienceDocs, we’re building a network of experienced change management professionals to support organizations through complex, high-stakes transitions. We’re not looking for generalists or training-focused roles. We’re looking for people who have actually led transformation—where adoption was difficult, resistance was real, and execution determined the outcome.
What You Should Bring:
- A track record of leading organizational change or transformation initiatives.
- Direct experience working with executive leadership.
- The ability to drive adoption of new operating models, not just recommend them.
- Comfort navigating resistance, ambiguity, and internal politics.
Strong Preference For:
- Background in consulting or operational transformation.
- Experience with structured frameworks (Prosci, Kotter, Lean, etc.).
- Work in complex environments (e.g., operations, logistics, manufacturing, or scaling organizations).
This is project-based, high-impact work with the potential for ongoing collaboration as our engagements expand. If your experience includes situations where the solution was clear—but getting the organization to actually change was the real challenge—you’ll likely be a strong fit.
