Full Job Description

As the Director, Change Management and Organizational Effectiveness, you’ll lead enterprise‑wide change initiatives that strengthen organizational capability, accelerate adoption of strategic priorities, and improve overall effectiveness. This leader drives both transformational change and proactive organizational health initiatives, serving as a trusted advisor to senior leadership teams while leading a small, high‑impact team. Embedded within HR, this leader partners closely with other HR Centers of Excellence (Talent, Total Rewards, People Analytics) and HR Business Partners to deliver integrated solutions that improve change adoption, workforce readiness, and organizational health.

What You Will Do:

Change Leadership & Strategy

  • Develop and lead the organization’s change management and organizational effectiveness strategy aligned with business and enterprise goals
  • Provide strategic change leadership for complex, multi‑workstream initiatives (e.g., operating model changes, digital transformation, culture shifts, M&A integration). Assess change impacts, readiness, and risks; design mitigation and adoption plans.
  • Ensure consistent application of change methodologies, tools, and standards across the enterprise while enhancing change readiness throughout the organization. Enable leader‑led change by coaching executives, HR teammates and people leaders
  • Leverage metrics for change adoption, engagement, and effectiveness, track outcomes and adjust strategies based on insights to continuously improve tools, templates, and capability models for impact.

Organizational Effectiveness

  • Partner with human resource stakeholders and leaders to guide organizational design efforts that align with strategy, improve efficiency and clarify accountability
  • Facilitate organizational effectiveness efforts related to culture, operating models, leadership effectiveness, workforce alignment, and ways of working.
  • Use data and diagnostics (engagement, adoption, capability maturity, feedback) to guide interventions and measure impact.
  • Integrate workforce planning with organizational design, transformation, talent management, and succession planning strategies

Stakeholder & Executive Partnership

  • Act as a trusted advisor to executives and senior leaders on change impacts, leader readiness, and organizational health
  • Design and support leader‑led change approaches, including executive sponsorship and people‑leader capability
  • Partner closely with HR, Talent, Strategy, and Communications to ensure alignment across people initiatives

Team Leadership & Development

  • Lead, coach, and develop a small team of change management and organizational effectiveness professionals
  • Establish clear priorities and balance strategic consulting with execution support
  • Foster a high‑performance, collaborative, and consultative team culture

What You Will Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree (HR, Business, or related field required; Master’s a plus).
  • 8-10 years experience in Change Management, Organizational Development, or strategic Talent Management partner roles
  • Track record of leading transformation and large-scale change efforts in complex, matrixed organizations.
  • Strong knowledge of HR processes and how organizational effectiveness integrates across the talent lifecycle
  • Experience leading a team and influencing senior leaders

Who You Are:

  • Visionary leader—energized by the challenge of enabling a future-ready organization
  • Persuasive communicator—able to influence at all levels and inspire action without direct authority.
  • Relationship architect—skilled at building deep, trust-based partnerships across cultures, geographies, and business lines.
  • Business-driven—passionate about understanding the business and aligning people strategies to fuel growth.
  • Change agent—comfortable navigating ambiguity, driving innovation, and challenging the status quo.
  • Champion of inclusion & belonging—dedicated to building teams that reflect the world we serve.
