This is an opportunity to influence change at scale while supporting the technology foundations that enable CSIRO’s world-class science.

• Develop and deliver change management plans for enterprise-wide initiatives, including communication, engagement and capability-building activities.
• Assess and manage the people impacts of change, navigating complex projects and diverse stakeholder needs across the organisation.
• Partner with leaders, business owners and project teams to plan, communicate and successfully implement IMT-led change.
• Engage key business networks and stakeholders to ensure the business voice informs the design and implementation of change.
