• Build a change champion network: Set up and guide local ambassadors who will act as advocates, run info sessions, and support their colleagues.
• Drive user adoption & training: Design and oversee robust training programs (including “train‑the‑trainer”), foster new ways of working, and monitor adoption KPIs.
• Collaborate & report: Work closely with the program leadership team, integrate change activities into the overall plan, and provide transparent progress updates.

About you :

• University degree in Business, Organizational Psychology, Communications, HR, or a related field; certifications in Change Management (e.g. Prosci), Project Management (PMP / Agile), and/or Systemic Coaching are a plus.
• 5+ years’ experience in change management for large‑scale transformation programs, ideally SAP S/4HANA or ERP implementations.
