Description
We9re growing fast, and we need someone to help us grow well. Journey Group plans to roughly double in size by 2029, and we9re adding a Director of Change Management & Project Management Office to lead how we plan, run, and land internal change. This is the first role of its kind at Journey and a true build: there9s no existing office, staff, or software, so for the first year, you are the office. If you9ve always wanted to build a function the right way and never had the room to do it, this is your opportunity. You9ll work across all four divisions, partnering with leaders from operations to our executive team.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO AS A DIRECTOR OF CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND PMO? - Build and maintain one clear list of every active internal initiative, each with a named owner, target date, and defined purpose
- Create a simple standard for starting and closing projects so efforts finish instead of trailing off
- Run a monthly capacity check that helps leadership commit only to what our teams can deliver
- Lead two or three pilot efforts from start to finish to prove the approach before rolling it out company-wide
- Own adoption, not just delivery, through training, supervisor briefings, and clear communication about what9s changing and why
- Retire old processes on a set date when new ones replace them
- Assess whether people are ready before each change goes live and give a clear go/no-go recommendation
- Recommend pausing or stopping efforts when capacity or readiness isn9t there
- Partner with division leaders and supervisors to understand how changes land with their teams
Requirements
EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION NEEDED- 7+ years of experience running projects or operations, including standing up a new function
- Proven track record of personally leading a change people resisted and making it stick
- Bachelor9s degree or equivalent experience
- Experience in construction, engineering, manufacturing, or another field-based industry preferred
- Prosci/ADKAR, PMP, Lean/Six Sigma, or an MBA a plus
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES NEEDED- Credibility with field and executive leaders alike, from a superintendent to a CFO in the same week
- Sound judgment and the confidence to say no to work that isn9t ready, while keeping strong relationships
- Comfort building structure and processes from the ground up
- Strong communication skills, from executive briefings to team-level conversations
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines
- Willingness to travel to our other markets as needed
