• Coach internal business unit leaders on effectively managing resistance and leveraging internal change advocates.


• Facilitate strategic leadership alignment sessions to maintain cohesive approaches and address organizational resistance.


• Develop measurable success metrics to monitor change adoption and inform strategic adjustments.


• Strategically partner with Learning & Development leadership to align training initiatives with organizational change objectives.


• Maintain strategic oversight of documentation and activities related to organizational change initiatives.

SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Human Resources, Organizational Development, or related field.


• The ideal candidate must have minimum 10 years of experience working as an organizational change strategist or in a similar capacity.


• The ideal candidate must have a Certification in Change Management (e.g., PROSCI).


• The ideal candidate must have proven strategic advisory experience in organizational change management, especially within professional services environments.


• The ideal candidate must have demonstrated expertise in coaching leaders on managing change and resistance effectively.


• Must have exceptional communication and relationship-building skills with strategic influence capabilities.


• Must be a strategic thinker adept at integrating processes across complex, decentralized organizational structures.


• Must have the ability to effectively manage ambiguity and advise within decentralized leadership contexts.


• Must be proactive, independent strategic advisor capable of collaborating effectively.


• Must have familiarity with standard project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall).


• Must have strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
