About the Role

Our client, a leading global HR and workforce consulting firm, is hiring a Senior Workforce Strategy Consultant for its Washington, DC office. This role combines deep workforce analytics and human capital strategy with practical, responsible use of AI to deliver faster, more actionable insights.

You’ll help clients predict, shape, and optimize workforce outcomes by blending labor economics, I/O psychology, and statistical rigor with modern AI-assisted analytics, model governance, and data products.

What You’ll Do

• Turn business problems into analytics-driven workforce solutions that combine qualitative research, advanced statistics, and AI methods, including machine learning and large language models
• Design, build, and operationalize models and data products such as forecasting models, skills taxonomies, retention risk scoring, and internal mobility recommendations, using structured data, unstructured text, and labor market signals
• Lead client engagements as the analytics and AI subject-matter lead: set the analytic approach, present findings, prioritize workforce investments, and build implementation roadmaps with clients
• Drive pay equity, strategic workforce planning, and external labor market analyses using classical econometrics and AI-enhanced methods, and quantify business impact and ROI
• Deliver clear, compelling work products, including interactive dashboards, visualizations, slide decks, and data stories, that HR and business leaders can act on
• Ensure responsible AI: model validation, bias detection and mitigation, explainability, privacy-preserving practices, and documentation that meets client and regulatory requirements
• Build reusable AI-enabled frameworks, client accelerators, proposals, and thought leadership

What Success Looks Like

• Clients adopt model-driven workforce decisions, such as hiring priorities, targeted retention, and reskilling, that measurably improve engagement, productivity, or cost efficiency
• Analytic products are accurate, explainable, reproducible, and built with controls so clients can scale and govern them after the engagement

What You’ll Need

• 8+ years of consulting experience in workforce strategy, HR analytics, labor economics, organizational psychology, or a closely related field
• Master’s or PhD in economics, I/O psychology, statistics, data science, computer science, labor relations, or another quantitative field
• Experience with pay equity analysis, strategic workforce planning, external labor market analysis, or similar workforce consulting work
• Strong statistics and machine learning skills: regression, causal inference, time series, clustering, and predictive modeling
• Proficiency in Python, R, and SQL, plus visualization tools such as Tableau
• Hands-on experience turning large, varied datasets into business action
• Excellent storytelling, client communication, and project leadership skills

What Sets You Apart

• An AI-native mindset: you evaluate new tools quickly, bring them into client work responsibly, and explain the trade-offs (accuracy, speed, explainability, privacy)
• A consultative style that pairs rigorous analysis with practical implementation, moving clients from insight to measurable action
• Comfort leading analysis end to end, from data strategy and ingestion through modeling, validation, visualization, and deployment guidance
