Lead Consultant - Emendo Implementation
Picture your typical week: on Monday you’re on-site at a client, driving a project team through a critical phase of an IT/OT implementation. By Wednesday you’re facilitating a workshop across business, IT, and engineering to resolve a key delivery issue. Friday, you’re back at Emendo’s Nordhavn office sharing what you learned and sharpening the methods your colleagues will use on their projects. If that sounds like work you’d love, keep reading.

Why We’re Hiring Now
We paused hiring over the past year to be deliberate about the team we build next. The consulting market in Denmark has tightened, and our clients have changed how they buy: they want consultants who can take real ownership, navigate complexity, and show measurable progress quickly. We are now making a small number of hires — each one matters, and we are taking the time to find the right people.

About Emendo
Emendo is a 200-person consultancy built by people who used to sit on the client side — running transformation programmes inside leading global companies before deciding to do it for a living. We understand the pressure a site director feels before a go-live, we know what an inspector looks for in a regulated environment, and we speak the language of the people who operate the systems we implement. We work across the full Operational value chain from R&D through shipping, with offices in Copenhagen, Kalundborg, Odense, Silkeborg, Munich, and Raleigh (USA). Our strategy is simple: deliver faster, prove value in hard numbers, and use our methods and AI tools to do what we do well — only quicker.

We are a methods-driven firm rooted in operational excellence and Lean. Our motto, Observe, Think, Improve, is itself a method: go to the floor, understand what is actually happening, analyse it rigorously, then design and implement a concrete improvement. That simplicity is what makes it reliable when the project gets complicated and the usual playbooks stop working.

The Role
You will lead projects and workstreams within IT/OT transformation engagements for our clients, mainly in (but not limited to) pharma and regulated industries— operating at the intersection of technology, business process, and organisational change. You are expected to create structure, drive progress, coordinate stakeholders, and make sure decisions turn into action. At Emendo, being a Lead Consultant means taking real ownership while continuing to build the judgement and client credibility required to lead increasingly complex engagements.

What You Will Do

• Lead projects and workstreams on-site, driving IT/OT implementations across enterprise, operations management, process control, and process equipment layers
• Create structure and momentum through clear planning, governance, stakeholder alignment, and follow-up
• Drive measurable progress in short cycles — turning project activity into tangible outcomes
• Coordinate cross-functional teams across business, IT, engineering, vendors, and other stakeholders
• Facilitate workshops, resolve issues, manage dependencies, and turn complex discussions into clear decisions and actions
• Engage with solution architecture, validation concepts, and implementation planning within complex project environments
• Build strong client relationships and become a trusted counterpart who takes ownership and gets things done
• Apply Observe, Think, Improve as your foundation and contribute to strengthening Emendo’s methods and tools

What It Takes
Must-Have Qualifications

• Master’s degree in engineering, IT, business, innovation, or a related discipline
• 2–5+ years of hands-on experience delivering IT/OT projects, digital transformations, or technology implementations — ideally within pharma or another regulated industry
• Experience taking ownership of a project, workstream, or significant delivery area
• Strong project management fundamentals, including planning, governance, risk and issue management, and stakeholder coordination
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to create structure in complex or changing environments
• Confidence working across business and technical stakeholders
• Fluent English, both written and spoken; Danish skills are strongly preferred, or a commitment to learn
• Willingness to work on-site at client locations in Denmark and occasionally internationally

Nice to have — but not required
None of the following are dealbreakers. If you tick even one or two, it tells us you will ramp up faster — but we have seen great consultants arrive without any of them and build the expertise here.

• Experience with GxP compliance, computer system validation (CSV/CSA), or regulatory frameworks in life sciences
• Familiarity with enterprise systems such as ERP or MES, process control, automation, or IT–OT integration
• Background in operational excellence, Lean, or continuous improvement methodologies
• Experience working across multiple sites or geographies in larger transformation programmes
• Familiarity with AI or automation tools applied to project delivery or enterprise transformation

What Makes Emendo Different

• Measured on outcomes, not utilisation — you work directly with industry leaders on engagements that matter
• Real responsibility early — with experienced colleagues around you when the challenge requires it
• One integrated firm with deep methods: cross-unit collaboration across Implementation, Engineering, Digital, and R&D, backed by a Lean toolbox and AI accelerators
• Freedom under responsibility — challenging projects with room to shape the solution and your own career
• A flat culture where your input matters and your wins are celebrated
• Competitive compensation reflecting the responsibility and impact expected in this role

This role is probably not for you if:

• You prefer purely advisory work with limited implementation responsibility.
• You work best with narrow ownership and very clear boundaries.
• You have strong technical exposure but limited experience driving cross-functional delivery.

Ready to Make an Impact?
We are hiring a small number of Lead Consultants this year. You will join a team that has led some of the largest IT/OT programmes in US and European companies — people who chose Emendo because they wanted meaningful responsibility in a firm that still feels personal. If that resonates, we’d like to hear from you.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We will be in touch promptly.
