Transformation Consultant

About the Role

ELDR Consulting delivers implementation-focused work: taking strategies, governance frameworks, and technology mandates and executing them with discipline and institutional rigour. The Transformation Consultant leads complex change programmes for financial institutions, regulated enterprises, and government bodies — managing workstreams, coordinating cross-functional delivery teams, and maintaining programme integrity through the full lifecycle of transformation. This is a senior role for a seasoned consultant who can command client confidence, navigate ambiguity, and drive delivery outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end enterprise transformation programmes across governance modernisation, technology implementation, and operational change mandates
• Define programme scope, structure workstreams, establish governance cadence, and manage interdependencies across complex multi-team environments
• Manage client relationships at senior and executive levels — progress reporting, issue escalation, and strategic alignment
• Oversee production of transformation deliverables including current-state assessments, target operating models, implementation roadmaps, and change management plans
• Coordinate with ELDR's Technology, Advisory, and Intelligence practices to integrate cross-functional expertise into programme delivery
• Identify and manage programme risks, issues, and dependencies with structured problem-solving and escalation frameworks
• Mentor junior consultants and analysts embedded in delivery programmes

Requirements

• 8–15 years of experience in management consulting, enterprise programme management, or internal transformation leadership
• Proven track record leading complex transformation programmes in regulated environments — financial services, healthcare, government, or technology
• Strong executive presence and client management capability — comfort at C-suite and board level
• Structured programme governance expertise: risk logs, RAID registers, steering committee reporting, and milestone management
• Undergraduate degree required; MBA or equivalent advanced degree strongly preferred
• PMP, Prince2, or equivalent programme management certification preferred

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, Workday, or comparable enterprise system transformation programmes
• Familiarity with regulatory-driven transformation environments — Basel III/IV, DORA, OSFI B-10, or FFIEC
• Prior Big 4, tier-1 consultancy, or major financial institution transformation programme experience

What We Offer

• Programme leadership on marquee client mandates across Canada, the U.S., and internationally
• A senior role in a rapidly growing consulting practice with institutional client relationships
• Competitive compensation with performance-linked structure
• Flexibility to shape how ELDR's consulting delivery practice grows
