- Leadership Alignment: Guide leaders and sponsors to establish and maintain the commitment for the change.
- Stakeholder Management: Identify, manage and communicate effectively with a diverse group of partners (e.g., senior leaders, managers, SMEs) throughout the project lifecycle to develop change strategies, assess readiness for change, anticipate and remove blockers, and prepare affective business areas for the transition to new ways of working.
- Able to show empathy, listen actively and express ideas and facts in a clear and confident manner both verbally and non-verbally. This includes reporting, presentation skills, meeting management and facilitation.
- Change communications: Work with Internal Communications to ensure relevant programme change communications and materials are designed and produced in a timely manner, aligned to broader comms messages.
- Harness different comms/engagement levers; innovative approaches are encouraged.
- CoE mobilisation: Help build out tools, templates and approaches for the CoE; assimilate artefacts and lessons from projects into CoE methodologies.
- Be a ‘change agent’ for the CoE:
You will need
- Specific experience operating in the role of Change Manager is essential
- Background in either Finance or Technology
- Personable with ability to build relationships with a diverse set of stakeholders
- Experience of working in a 'set up' environment and the ability to deal with ambiguity as processes, standards and governance change
