Job Description
As part of the Thermo Fisher Scientific team, you’ll discover meaningful work that makes a positive impact on a global scale. Join our colleagues in bringing our Mission to life every single day to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer. We provide our global teams with the resources needed to achieve individual career goals while helping to take science a step beyond by developing solutions for some of the world’s toughest challenges, like protecting the environment, making sure our food is safe or helping find cures for cancer.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior HR Process & Solutions Consultant to join our HR Service Delivery organization. This role sits at the intersection of HR, process design, and technology—focused on improving how work gets done across our global HR ecosystem, with a strong focus on enhancing both operational effectiveness and colleague experience.
This is not a traditional HR role and not a pure HRIS role. You will act as a bridge between HR stakeholders and HR Technology/Digital teams, translating business needs into practical, technology-enabled solutions.
You will drive execution, owning workstreams, moving initiatives forward in ambiguous environments, and delivering measurable improvements to process, systems, and colleague experience.
What You’ll Do
Drive Solutions & Delivery
- Lead small to mid-sized initiatives or workstreams within larger HR programs
- Diagnose problems across process, policy, and systems
- Translate business needs into clear requirements, process flows, and actionable solutions
- Create and manage requirements, process documentation, and implementation plans
- Partner with HR Digital and HRTS to design, deliver, and continuously improve scalable solutions and outcomes
- Take ownership of assigned workstreams and drive solutions from problem identification through implementation and adoption
- Maintain momentum by simplifying complex problems and making pragmatic tradeoffs
Bridge HR and Technology
- Serve as a trusted partner to HR stakeholders, including HR COEs and other partners
- Work closely with HR Digital and HRTS to understand the business case, validate feasibility, and shape solutions
- Ensure alignment between user experience, process design, and system capabilities
- Confidently navigate and influence across both business and technical audiences
Improve Process & Enable Automation
- Identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, optimize, and improve HR processes and colleague experiences
- Evaluate when to leverage automation vs. human intervention, especially in sensitive or complex scenarios
- Contribute to scalable, future-ready HR service delivery models
Deliver Technology-Enabled Change
- Support implementation and optimization of Workday, ServiceNow, and related tools
- Lead or support User Acceptance Testing (UAT), including test design and execution across a variety of stakeholders
- Support Workday release cycles by reviewing new functionality and assessing business impact
- Assess impact of system updates and new functionality
- Partner on automation and digital initiatives, including responsible and practical AI-enabled solutions
- Identify and design automation opportunities with clear exception handling
- Design solutions with appropriate human-in-the-loop controls
What You Bring
- Minimum education: Bachelor's Degree
- 5–8+ years in HR Operations, HR Technology, HR consulting, or related roles
- Proven ability to drive execution and deliver results in cross-functional environments
- Experience working with HR systems (Workday preferred; ServiceNow a plus)
- Experience translating business needs into requirements and supporting delivery
- Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
- Ability to operate independently and move work forward in ambiguity
- Practical understanding of automation, workflows, and emerging technologies
- Sound judgment to balance efficiency, risk, and colleague experience
Why This Role Matters
You will play a key role in advancing a digital-first HR model—connecting business needs with process and technology solutions and ensuring the right balance between automation, operational effectiveness, and human judgment.
Compensation and Benefits
The salary range estimated for this position based in Pennsylvania is $93,800.00–$135,000.00. This position may also be eligible to receive a variable annual bonus based on company, team, and/or individual performance results in accordance with company policy. We offer a comprehensive Total Rewards package that our U.S. colleagues and their families can count on, which includes:
- A choice of national medical and dental plans, and a national vision plan, including health incentive programs
- Employee assistance and family support programs, including commuter benefits and tuition reimbursement
- At least 120 hours paid time off (PTO), 10 paid holidays annually, paid parental leave (3 weeks for bonding and 8 weeks for caregiver leave), accident and life insurance, and short- and long-term disability in accordance with company policy
- Retirement and savings programs, such as our competitive 401(k) U.S. retirement savings plan

Solutions Consultant Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a solutions consultant in California?
Most solutions consultants in California enter the role through a combination of a bachelor's degree in business, computer science, or engineering and two to four years in a technical or customer-facing role such as technical support, sales engineering, or implementation. No state license is required. California employers consistently favor candidates with hands-on platform knowledge, particularly in Salesforce, cloud services, or enterprise software ecosystems common to the Bay Area and Los Angeles tech markets.
Which companies hire solutions consultants in California?
Employers hiring solutions consultants in California right now include Bank of America, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and Rippling, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. California's concentration of enterprise software headquarters and regional offices means hiring is steady across both established tech companies and high-growth SaaS firms with Bay Area or Southern California operations.
Which California cities have the most solutions consultant jobs?
San Francisco, San Jose, and Los Angeles have the most solutions consultant openings in California right now. The distribution reflects where enterprise software, cloud, and fintech companies have set up headquarters or major offices, with San Francisco drawing the heaviest volume from the Bay Area tech cluster and Los Angeles adding significant demand from media, healthcare technology, and financial services firms headquartered there.
Are there remote solutions consultant jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. Solutions consulting is largely a presentation and communication role, making it well suited to remote and hybrid arrangements. About 19% of solutions consultant openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how broadly California tech employers have adopted flexible work. Pre-sales and post-sales advisory work tends to be the most remote-friendly, while implementation-heavy roles more often require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a solutions consultant in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving laterally from a technical support, customer success associate, or inside sales role at a California-based SaaS or enterprise software company. Large employers like Salesforce and Cisco run associate solutions engineer and sales development programs in California that are designed for candidates without direct consulting experience. Building a portfolio of product demos or earning a platform certification, such as Salesforce Administrator or AWS Cloud Practitioner, gives candidates a concrete edge when applying to those entry-level tracks.
