• Conduct impact analyses, evaluate organisational readiness, and manage risks with proactive mitigation plans.
• Monitor adoption, usage, and proficiency; report on change effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Gather feedback, refine change frameworks, and promote best practices to embed a culture of adaptability.
• Mentor and empower change agents and coordinators, fostering collaboration and high performance.

• Strategic mindset with the ability to align change initiatives to broader business objectives.
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills to influence, engage, and support stakeholders across all levels.
• Proven ability to identify, assess, and mitigate risks associated with change implementation.
• Experience embedding change management into project delivery and cross-functional planning.
• Passion for continuous improvement, with a proactive approach to learning and refining change practices.
