Change Management National Director

We currently have an exciting career opportunity in our Business Acceleration Strategy team for a Change Management AI Director based out of one of our Cohn Reznick offices or remotely.

This position is considered hybrid, with team members expected to collaborate in person about three days a week.

The Change Management AI Director will lead the strategic planning, execution, and monitoring of organizational change initiatives firm‑wide. This senior leader reports to the Chief Administrative Officer and partners with the Business Acceleration Strategy Team and other stakeholders to ensure the firm adapts to evolving business strategies, technology implementations, cultural transformations, and operational improvements.

In the near term, a key focus will be guiding the firm through an AI‑enabled transformation initiative—ensuring the responsible adoption and integration of new AI‑driven processes while fostering workforce readiness, internal enablement, and a culture of continuous learning.

• Implement a firm‑wide change management strategy and methodology aligned with the company’s vision, values, and business goals, providing consistency of service while delivering a personalized change experience for firm leaders. This includes connecting change initiatives with firm objectives, especially those introducing new processes or technologies, to ensure they support a “business‑first” mindset and deliver real business value.
• Lead and manage multiple large‑scale, cross‑functional change initiatives simultaneously

• Identify and assess organizational readiness for change
  , providing tailored strategies to address gaps. Develop solutions to drive culture forward and create a workforce that is ready, willing, and able to grow—for example, enhancing digital literacy and learning agility as the firm introduces new AI‑driven tools or processes. Conduct relevant financial analysis (e.g., ROI on transformation initiatives) to ensure change efforts are justified and sustainable.
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership
  , providing guidance on navigating and managing complex change initiatives. Build strong relationships with key stakeholders (executives, department heads, project teams) to champion change adoption across all levels of the organization. Work closely with internal partners (IT, People & Culture, etc.) to integrate change plans into broader firm strategies, ensuring responsible adoption of new capabilities (e.g., AI platforms) aligns with our culture and values.
• Serve as the primary voice and champion for change management firm‑wide. Ensure clear, transparent, and timely communication throughout the organization for all major change programs, including those involving emerging technologies. Role‑model effective change leadership for others, and actively grow change leadership skills across the firm (e.g., by training “change champions” and fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptability).
• Define and track key metrics to measure the success of change initiatives
  , such as adoption rates, employee engagement, and project ROI. Frequently conduct post‑implementation reviews to evaluate outcomes and draw lessons learned for future initiatives. In particular, monitor the impact of AI‑related changes on productivity and engagement to ensure benefits are realized and any issues are addressed.
• Stay ahead of industry trends and bring innovative, research‑backed approaches to enhance the firm’s change management capabilities.
