You’ll help lift change maturity across the organisation, through supporting the Change Management Office (a Change Centre of Excellence) and providing strategic support, change management expertise, advisory and coaching support to uplift change management capability.

You won’t lead change on specific projects – but you’ll act as the internal ‘expert’ or guide on all things change related – helping  lift capability and ensuring  standards of change services and products are consistent (and to the quality needed).  Your remit will include leading the Community of Practise, driving our internal reporting dashboard (the view of internal change) and implementing effectiveness measures and standards to show progress.

This may involve short-term projects in virtual teams and/or the adoption of adaptable work practices. We also shuffle portfolios when needed – depending on skills, priorities and development needs. They work flexibly, virtually, in person and everything in between. Outcomes matter more than locations or hours for the team.
