This includes, but is not limited to, changes to processes, systems and technology, job roles and organization structures. Your work will drive faster employee adoption and long-term sustainability, increasing benefit realization and ROI (Return on Investment).

You will:

  • Design and deliver change management strategies for the MTEFG Transformation initiatives, tailoring approaches to platform-specific needs.
  • Identify, analyze and enact tactics to mitigate change barriers and resistance and enable change readiness.
  • Navigate complexity by managing multiple change efforts simultaneously, sequencing activities to mitigate saturation and build organizational resilience.

  • Lead with influence, serving as the trusted advisor to sponsors, project leaders, and stakeholders, driving alignment, clarity, and momentum.
  • Build bridges across the enterprise, cultivating strong relationships with senior leaders, external partners, and change champions to amplify impact.
  • Craft compelling narratives and communication strategies that inspire engagement and foster understanding.
  • Measure what matters, defining success metrics and gathering feedback (qualitative and quantitative data) to continuously improve change outcomes.
  • Champion sustainability, ensuring transitions are smooth and that change sticks long after implementation.
  • Empower leaders with coaching and guidance to become visible, effective sponsors of change.
  • Develop learning experiences, partnering with stakeholders and vendors (internal / external) to design training that supports sustained adoption.
  • Model agility, adapting quickly to new challenges, unfamiliar domains, and evolving priorities.
  • Coach and mentor business partners, project leaders, and citizen change practitioners, building capability, confidence, and consistency in how change is delivered across the business.
  • Elevate the discipline, mentoring change practitioners, sharing best practices, and advancing enterprise-wide change capabilities.

What You Bring: Experience, Expertise, and a Passion for Change

We’re looking for a seasoned change leader who combines strategic thinking with hands-on experience in driving transformation across complex business environments. You’ll thrive in this role if you bring:

  • A bachelor’s degree and at least 7 years of experience in change management, learning and development, employee communications, product management, or project management. (Equivalent experience of 10 years, including 6 years in relevant roles, will also be considered.)
  • Proven expertise in applying change management principles, methodologies, and tools to deliver measurable outcomes on large-scale business transformation initiatives.
  • Demonstrated capability in coaching others—leaders, teams, and non-expert change agents—to apply change management practices effectively.
  • A recognized change management certification (e.g., Prosci, ACMP CCMP).
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate change strategies with Agile delivery practices, enabling team readiness, stakeholder engagement, and sustained adoption.
  • A track record of leading enterprise-level, high-impact change initiatives in large organizations, with clear evidence of driving business value.
  • Exceptional communication skills articulating complex concepts into clear, compelling messages and influence stakeholders at all levels, including senior leadership.
  • Strong project management capabilities and the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
  • A natural ability to adapt and lead through ambiguity, bringing clarity, confidence and creativity to evolving situations and shifting priorities.
  • A mindset that embraces change as opportunity, with the resilience and flexibility to pivot, reframe challenges and guide others through uncertainty.

Preferred Qualifications and Experience: Elevate Your Impact

While not required, the following qualifications and experience will help you thrive and lead with even greater influence:

  • An MBA or advanced degree in Organizational Development, Organizational Behavior, Change Management, or a related field.
  • At least three years of experience in a dedicated change management role, with a focus on enterprise-level transformation.
  • Experience coaching or developing talent, including mentoring junior change practitioners or enabling non-experts to perform CM activities confidently and successfully.
  • Experience collaborating with customer experience, UX, or human-centered design teams to create change strategies that are empathetic, user-informed, and adoption-ready.
  • Proficiency in collaboration and transparency tools such as Jira, Miro, Target Process, or Trello, tools that support agile ways of working and cross-functional alignment.
  • Exceptional problem-solving and strategic thinking skills, with a demonstrated ability to connect dots across systems, teams, and initiatives.
  • Industry experience in banking or financial services, with a strong understanding of the regulatory, operational, and cultural dynamics that shape change.
  • Strong business acumen, with the ability to anticipate organizational challenges and design change strategies that drive measurable outcomes.
