<p>Transformation management has become an essential aspect for organizations, particularly since organizations often undergo multiple transformations, with varying goals, simultaneously. The success of these transformation initiatives largely depends on the competencies of those responsible for managing them. The foundation for this lies in transformation competencies. In this article, we examine, applying a&#xa0;mixed methods approach, what previous research has investigated in the discourse, which competencies are considered relevant for organizational transformations, and which role expectations so-called transformation managers are required to fulfill. To this end, we analyze both academic literature and job advertisements by means of qualitative content analysis and additionally apply the text-mining method Latent Dirichlet Allocation to the job advertisements. This enables us to develop a&#xa0;comprehensive competency profile of the transformation manager, demonstrate which competencies are needed to fulfill the respective roles, and represent these within the transformation competency model we have developed. In doing so, we contribute to the academic discourse in both an exploratory and explanatory manner, while also providing practitioners with the opportunity to understand and apply the ideal competency profile for these positions.</p>
