The Role

We're looking for an experienced Change Manager to support a major GIS and technology transformation programme, particularly people who've worked around Esri / ArcGIS.

The key requirement is someone who has genuinely owned the business change piece across a large technology transformation, rather than someone whose experience is mainly focused on change communications and engagement.

You'll work across business, operational and technology teams to understand what's changing, who will be impacted and what needs to happen to make sure people are properly prepared for new systems, processes and ways of working.

The role will cover the full change lifecycle, from understanding business impacts and assessing readiness through to stakeholder engagement, communications, training, implementation, go-live and adoption.

You'll work closely with Programme, Project and Technical Leads, identifying change risks, dependencies and areas of resistance and making sure the business is ready for the change and that new ways of working are successfully embedded.
