Change Management Manager

This is a 1099 contractor role. You bring organizational change projects to life. You develop and implement change strategies and you love seeing the positive impacts on your clients. You’re deep in change methodologies, but not married to any of them. You know the best change consultant customizes or uses what works for your client. Your clients love you almost as much as you love them. You invent new tools to make their next project better and easier. You build their change capability and leave them stronger than you found them. Maybe we should talk. The Fine Print Hourly rate: $85 - $100. This is a contractor role. Hourly rate depends on project. Check out the Careers page on our website to get a sense of who we are and whether you’d like working with us. (We think you would.) Who We Are Emerson Human Capital Consulting Inc. is a change management consulting company with a passion for turning people potential into business performance. We are experts in behavior change. Clients call us when they need to transform, improve operations, deploy new strategy or technology, or enable employees to perform at a new level. What We Do Transformation: Achieving rapid, high-stakes change and creating change capability for the next ascent. Change Management: Driving smooth, efficient implementation of any change, and securing sustained results. Organization Design: Developing organization structures and roles to enable business strategy. Learning & Development: Building the skills, knowledge, and tools people need for exceptional performance. Communication: Ensuring people receive the right information at the right time. Technology Change: Enabling the benefits of technology by influencing human performance. Why Emerson? We were the first US company with a large team of full-time employees specializing only in behavior change. We employ only experts, like you. We’re not an IT consultancy or an accounting firm that also has a specialized practice – critical behavior change is all we do. We are thought leaders in human performance. For example, the Association for Talent Development published our book series, which covers some of our favorite principles, tips and lessons learned: The Change Book, The Learning & Development Book, and The Technology Change Book. We deliver for the best. We are the choice of some of the most successful and well-known companies in the world. We don’t like to drop names, mostly because our lawyers won’t let us. But if we did, we could tell you about an iconic clothing brand, an oil and gas giant, a global leader in hospitality, and a company that makes really fast shoes. Just to not name a few. Candidates who are currently employed by a client of Emerson Human Capital Consulting might not be eligible for consideration.  Applicants for employment in the U.S. must have unrestricted work authorization which does not require sponsorship by the employer for a visa.
