• Ensure readiness: Analyze impacts on HR and Finance processes, assess business readiness, and implement targeted actions to prepare teams for go-live.
• 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.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Strong knowledge of change management principles, best practices, and methodologies (e.g. Prosci ADKAR or similar).
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, confident in engaging senior leadership and acting as a trusted advisor.
• Outstanding communication skills in English (written and verbal); additional European languages are a plus.
• Proven experience in designing and coordinating end-user training programs.
• Analytical, data-driven, and adaptable to evolving project needs.
• Prior experience in international, multi-country projects; cultural awareness and willingness to travel within Europe.
