We're seeking a Sr. Program Manager, specializing in Organizational Change Management to lead high-impact, cross-functional change programs that help employees successfully adopt new tools and ways of working. This role owns the end-to-end change management lifecycle for enterprise-wide tool migrations - from building and maintaining a company-wide change network, to authoring and deploying multi-channel communications strategies, to creating the frameworks and playbooks that scale OCM across the organization. You will work closely with product management, engineering service teams, communications and marketing, and learning and development to ensure that when we change a tool or workflow for 1 million+ employees, those employees understand why, feel prepared, and adopt successfully.
The ideal candidate will possess a strong program management background with demonstrated expertise in organizational change management at scale. You must be able to thrive in an entrepreneurial environment and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in, and get the job done. You will anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make trade-offs, and balance business needs versus technical constraints. Maturity, high judgment, negotiation skills, ability to influence, analytical talent, and leadership are essential to success in this role.
This position involves regular communication with senior management on status, risks, and change readiness. Excellent listening, writing skills, and executive communication are essential.
