Job description

About You

Ready to lead change, not just support it?

We are looking for a Business Change Manager to play a key role in one of the Mining Remediation Authority's biggest transformation programmes.

Our Business Systems Replacement programme is moving into delivery. With procurement progressing and implementation planning underway, this is a genuine opportunity to work end to end, from supplier onboarding through to implementation, readiness and adoption.

Who we are looking for

You might already be a Business Change Manager. You might instead be a Project Manager, Transformation Lead, Change Readiness professional, Training or Communications Lead, or Stakeholder Engagement specialist ready to take broader ownership of business change.

What matters most is that you understand how complex transformation works, can turn plans into action, build credibility quickly and operate independently. You will be comfortable working with a supplier, managing ambiguity and responding constructively when resistance or delivery issues emerge.

About The Role

This role is about more than producing plans and applying frameworks. It is about helping people understand, engage with and successfully adopt new systems and ways of working.

• Prepare the organisation for supplier onboarding by developing practical business readiness, change, communications and training plans.
• Work alongside our implementation partner to align approaches and keep people, delivery and business outcomes connected.
• Build trusted relationships with senior leaders, subject matter experts, project teams and change champions.
• Use readiness surveys, feedback and insight to identify resistance, adapt activity and target support.

Lead the people side of change and help colleagues feel informed, prepared and confident.

Why join now?

• The programme is ready to move from preparation into delivery.
• You can gain genuine end-to-end transformation experience.
• You will have organisation-wide visibility, autonomy and influence.
• You can shape the approach, rather than simply follow a rigid playbook.
• Your work will help the Mining Remediation Authority deliver better for people, communities and the environment in mining areas.

If you want to take your transformation experience to the next level and help make major organisational change land successfully, we would love to hear from you.
