• Lead and mentor a team of change management professionals, fostering their growth and ensuring effective program delivery
• Act as a thought leader in change management, providing strategic guidance and innovative solutions to complex organizational challenges across the program

Cross-Program Oversight & Governance

• Maintain a consolidated view of change management milestones across all workstreams, providing a single picture of readiness and risk
• Establish governance structures and a reporting cadence for change readiness and risk, feeding into existing program leadership forums (e.g., steering committee updates)
• Monitor overall change readiness across the program and escalate material gaps to leadership
• Provide input into launch decisions based on consolidated change readiness, alongside segment and program leadership

Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with senior leadership, program/project managers, and stakeholders to integrate change management activities into overall program plans
• Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders across all levels of the organization, managing expectations and fostering collaboration
• Define and stand up a cross-functional change management stakeholder network, identifying roles, teams, and named contacts required across segments (e.g., change management, sales enablement, operations, customer support, legal)
