Are you passionate about leading change and inspiring teams to embrace new ways of working? We are seeking a dynamic Senior Manager to join the Value Co-Creation (VCC) Enterprise Program Team.

  • Develop and facilitate content-rich experiences including awareness sessions, town halls, and community of practices that promote new ways of working. 
  • Create and curate enablement materials such as job aids, intranet sites, branded decks, and learning content that support team readiness and reinforce consistent messaging across transformation initiatives. 
  • Serve as a trusted advisor and visible change champion, providing guidance, answering questions, and supporting leaders and teams as they navigate new ways of working.

Qualifications 

  • Proven experience in change management, program management, and/or enterprise transformation. 
  • Experience designing and delivering change enablement strategies in large, matrixed organizations. 
  • Strong communication and facilitation skills, with a knack for simplifying complex ideas and ability to clearly communicate messages to a variety of audiences across functions and levels. 
  • Interpersonal and influencing skills with the ability to build cross-functional relationships. 
  • Proficiency in SharePoint and Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel.  
  • Bachelor’s degree.   

Differentiators 

  • Background in management consulting or strategic planning. 
  • Familiarity with agile methodologies, and product development lifecycles. 
  • Experience working with C-suite or executive-level stakeholders.  
  • Self-starter and loves working in a lean, fast-paced, environment with the ability to pivot quickly and navigate ambiguity, forming solutions out of white space,  
  • MBA or advanced degree.  
  • PROSCI or related Certification 

Salary Range: $110,000.00 to $190,000.00 annually + bonus + benefits
