Walking the Talk is a fast-growing consultancy, globally recognized as leaders in culture transformation and we’re looking for a Commercial Director to grow our market in North America.

You will play a pivotal role in Walking the Talk’s success. This role is strongly commercial, with 75% of your focus being on sales and business development, and 25% being on delivering client projects.

  • Actively develop your own network to identify new business opportunities and introduce contacts to Walking the Talk
  • Manage your pipeline ensuring a “funnel” and actively moving opportunities through the sales stages to close

You will sell and lead projects across all elements of our end-to-end culture transformation methodology, using our proprietary tools. You are not necessarily an expert in each area, but you will have enough understanding of our philosophy, culture map, core concepts, and impact to have deep and credible conversations with prospects and clients.

The four main areas of our work are as follows:

Culture design:

  • Helping clients identify the target culture they want and need to achieve their business strategy.
  • Conducting current culture assessments using both qualitative and quantitative tools.
  • Co-creating a culture blueprint that clearly lays out the target culture and the priority mindset and behavior changes that are required.

  • Co-creating a compelling culture narrative that enables clients to communicate the rationale and essence of their culture change to all employees.
  • Working with clients to create a focused, practical plan to transform their culture including metrics, initiatives and governance.

  • Working with the top team and senior leaders to build their capability to lead culture transformation.
  • Conducting 180/360 degree feedback and coaching senior leaders and top team members to change their mindsets and patterns of behavior.
  • Designing programs for and working directly with extended leadership teams to embed the culture change and improve team dynamics and performance.

Activate culture:

  • Communicating the client’s culture story and supporting them to create an effective communication plan.
  • Developing and running culture champion and key influencer programs.
  • Designing and delivering key behavior programs.

In addition, you will have a solid understanding of organizations and a curiosity about our clients’ business challenges.

  • Role model of our culture – to what extent do you role model our culture goals of client centricity, one-team and people-first, building constructive working relationships with colleagues throughout the firm?
