• Engage stakeholders: collaborate with leaders, SMEs, and end‑users across multiple countries, building trust and addressing concerns to secure buy‑in
• Lead communications: create clear, compelling messaging that explains the “why” behind the transformation, keeps employees informed, and celebrates success stories
• Ensure readiness: analyse impacts on HR and Finance processes, assess business readiness, and implement targeted actions to prepare teams for go‑live
• Build a change champion network: set up and guide local ambassadors who will act as advocates, run information sessions, and support their colleagues
• Drive user adoption & training: design and oversee robust training programmes (including “train‑the‑trainer”), foster new ways of working, and monitor adoption KPIs
• Collaborate & report: work closely with the programme leadership team, integrate change activities into the overall plan, and provide transparent progress updates

About You

• University degree in Business, Organisational Psychology, Communications, HR, or a related field; certifications in Change Management (e.g. Prosci), Project Management (PMP/Agile), and/or Systemic Coaching are a plus
• 5+ years’ experience in change management for large‑scale transformation programmes, ideally SAP S/4HANA or ERP implementations
• Strong knowledge of change management principles, best practices, and methodologies (e.g. Prosci ADKAR or similar)
