YOUR TEAM.
We currently have an exciting career opportunity in our Business Acceleration Strategy team for a Change Management National Director based out of one of our CohnReznick offices or remotely.
CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices.

As a senior leader, this role will report to the COO and will partner with the Business Accelerator Strategy Team and other internal stakeholders to ensure the firm adapts effectively to evolving business strategies, technology implementations, cultural transformations, and operational improvements. The role will be responsible for the strategic formation, management and leadership of the firm's Change Management Office supporting firmwide initiatives, M&A integrations, and business-critical challenges.
