  • Act as the connective tissue across initiatives, ensuring change efforts are coordinated, sequenced, and experienced as intentional rather than fragmented or reactive.
  • Equip senior leaders and people managers with the clarity, context, and tools needed to foster ownership culture.
  • Define adoption and effectiveness measures; gather feedback and data to continuously refine change strategies.
  • Operate with autonomy, setting direction, prioritizing work, and moving initiatives forward independently while keeping senior leaders informed.
  • Lead international integration efforts to ensure consistency in cultural alignment, team member experience, and values across global markets.

Experience Required:
  • 10+ years of experience in change management, organizational effectiveness, culture transformation, or enterprise enablement.

  • Strong ability to influence and lead through relationships rather than authority.
  • Highly organized and execution-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple complex initiatives simultaneously.

  • Practical, grounded approach with a strong understanding of how change impacts real people and day-to-day work.
