Senior Digital Enablement Consultant - #233003

Job Description

On behalf of our public sector client, Affinity is seeking a Senior Digital Enablement Consultant for a hybrid opportunity with one of our clients.

About The Opportunity

Our client is launching a new Digital Enablement practice to bring leadership, governance, and hands-on delivery capability to their Microsoft 365 platform (SharePoint, Teams, Power Automate, and Copilot). Today, automation and process improvement work happens in silos across departments — with no central standards, visibility, or governance. This role will design and stand up that capability from the ground up.

This is a hands-on, senior-level engagement combining strategy, governance design, and change leadership. You'll work directly with executive stakeholders to build a sustainable, self-service model that empowers business units while reducing risk.

What You'll Deliver

• Digital Enablement Strategy and Roadmap
• Operating Model and Community of Practice framework
• Governance Framework and Decision-Making Structure
• Intake, Assessment, and Prioritization Process
• M365 Digital Automation Standards and Reference Architectures
• Citizen Developer Framework and Guardrails
• Copilot and Agent Governance Guidelines
• Training and Knowledge Transfer Plan
• Digital Enablement Maturity Assessment
• Transition-to-Operations Plan for the permanent internal team
• Facilitation of workshops with cross-functional teams and senior executives
  
  

Required

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years leading digital transformation or business process modernization, including process mapping and workflow optimization within complex organizations
• 5-10 years of experience with enterprise automation and value realization
• 5-10 years establishing or maturing Digital Enablement, Automation, Low-Code, Innovation, or Centre of Excellence (CoE) practices
• 5-10 years developing communities of practice, training programs, adoption strategies, and knowledge transfer plans
• 5-10 years developing enterprise standards, reference architectures, guardrails, and best practices
• 5+ years designing and implementing governance frameworks for digital solutions, citizen development programs, automation initiatives, and AI-enabled technologies
• Demonstrated success leading stakeholder engagement across diverse business and technical groups, with the ability to build consensus and influence senior leadership without direct authority
  
  

Nice To Have

• Experience in a Higher Education or broader public sector environment
• Experience working with Privacy Officers and Information Security Officers
• Experience in a multi-union / collective bargaining environment
• Experience facilitating large, diverse workshop groups
  
  

Education/Certifications (one Of The Following Combinations)

• Undergraduate degree in Business Management, Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience, plus
• A certification in business analysis (ECBA, CCBA, CBAP, or PMI-PBA) or project management (PMP, PRINCE2), plus
• Microsoft Power Platform Solution Architect Expert certification or Microsoft Certified: Copilot for Microsoft 365 certification (or equivalent)
  
  

Technical

• Proficient in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)
• Proficient in MS Teams and SharePoint
• Experience with diagramming software (e.g., MS Visio)
  
  

Skills

• Excellent interpersonal, listening, and facilitation skills
• Strong analytical and problem-resolution ability
