• Supporting the change impact strategy, including input on process, people and organisational impact
• Contributing to organisational design and transition planning activities
• Building relationships across stakeholder groups and supporting the change network
• Coaching and supporting colleagues across the programme in change management best practice
• Regular reporting as Communications Lead

What you'll bring:

• Strong Communications Management experience, ideally within SAP S/4HANA transformation programmes
• Exposure to or interest in growing further into Organisational Change Management
• Experience working on large-scale, complex transformation programmes
