• Identifying and working with the business leaders and projects on risk identification and mitigation strategies to support managing the change
• Building and maintaining strong working relationships with change and business stakeholders as well as internal change partners
• Coaching and mentoring fellow colleagues or leaders in change management practices, tools, and approaches to support capability uplift of the wider team

We are looking for people who:

• Have proven experience of developing change artefacts and interventions to implement and embed change
• Will be equally comfortable working in agile/continuous delivery release trains or in waterfall projects
• Have designed and delivered change facilitation workshops
