Business Transformation Consultant [Innovation & AI] - Relo to Reno, Nevada

Company:

Our client — a publicly traded global leader in renewable energy - is looking for an Innovation & Business Transformation professional to join its Innovation & AI organization.

The position supports the company’s AI Center of Excellence and global innovation portfolio as it enters its next phase of scaling and business impact. The role combines business transformation, process improvement, innovation, emerging technologies, and AI, working closely with business units to understand complex processes, identify opportunities, and translate them into initiatives that deliver measurable value.

We are looking for someone with a consulting background — ideally from a top-tier strategy firm, Big 4, or systems integrator — with exposure to manufacturing or industrial clients, or an in-house professional with strong experience in business transformation, strategy execution, operational excellence, or innovation. The ideal candidate is comfortable moving between strategic problem-solving and hands-on execution, working with senior leadership as well as operational teams to drive initiatives from concept through implementation.

The position is based in Reno Nevada, and relocation is required. The company provides relocation support to assist with the transition.

Responsibilities:

\n
• Map, analyze, and redesign business processes to identify where emerging technologies, redesigned workflows, AI, or automation can add measurable value.
\n
• Act as an internal advisor to business units, partnering with process owners to frame problems, challenge assumptions, and shape the case for change.
\n
• Scope initiatives end to end, translating operational problems into structured briefs covering the problem owner, required data, success measures, and implementation considerations.
\n
• Drive innovation sprints and initiatives from framing through facilitation, documentation, follow-through, and outcome tracking.
\n
• Accompany initiatives through delivery, ensuring work continues beyond the initial scoping phase.
\n
• Identify blockers and drive them to resolution while tracking milestones and outcomes across the innovation portfolio.
\n
• Drive AI adoption across business units and sites, working with the AI Leads and Champions network.
\n
• Build internal communications, guidance, and engagement materials to promote ideas and adoption.
\n
• Contribute to leadership and strategic presentations through strong structure, data, and narrative.
\n
• Lead stakeholder coordination across sites, business units, and time zones to keep innovation and AI initiatives moving.
\n

Requirements:

\n
• MUST: 2+ years of experience in a strategy consulting firm, strategy/innovation/transformation practice at a Big 4 or systems integrator, or an equivalent in-house strategy, transformation, operational excellence, or innovation role.
\n
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to break down complex processes, structure ambiguous problems, and identify practical improvement opportunities.
\n
• Hands-on and adaptable approach, with the ability to drive execution and coordinate multiple stakeholders.
\n
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, including the ability to prepare executive-ready materials and stakeholder communications.
