You will work across business and technology teams, adapting broader enterprise change frameworks to the local environment while building sustainable change capability that can transition into client ownership.

Previous experience within insurance is mandatory.

Responsibilities

• Establish Change management framework and approach.
• Ensure people, stakeholder, adoption and readiness considerations are embedded into program planning from inception.
• Develop stakeholder assessments, change impact analysis, engagement plans, communications and readiness activities.
• Lead stakeholder identification and engagement across business and technology teams.
• Establish change governance, tools, templates and supporting artefacts.
• Assess organisational readiness and identify risks to adoption.

• Work closely with senior stakeholders to build alignment and support key transformation outcomes.
