Associate Consultant (Change Management)

About the Role

Greencastle Consulting is seeking driven, mission-focused leaders who thrive on solving hard problems and are energized by client results. As an Associate Consultant (Change Management), you’ll bring your military-honed discipline and decision-making to the boardrooms and operations of some of the country’s largest companies – turning chaos into clear, executable plans.

Key Responsibilities

As an Associate Consultant, you'll work directly with client executives and project teams to:

• Stand up and run projects: Defining scope, building schedules, and managing budgets so initiatives land on time and on budget
• Find and fix what's broken: Running root cause analysis on inefficient processes and designing the fix
• Get people to actually change: Building change management strategies that drive real adoption
• Build the structure that holds it together: Designing governance models tailored to how a specific client actually operates

You’ll apply the same planning rigor that military members use in MDMP, NPP, MCPP, or JOPPA to civilian business problems.

How You’ll Grow

Beyond day-to-day project work, Associate Consultants at Greencastle:

• Receive direct mentorship from senior consultants and Managing Directors
• Get exposure across all four service delivery options (Project Management, Change Management, Process Improvement, and Data & Analytics)
