Overview

We are seeking a Manager, Change Management & Communications to support a large-scale business transformation initiative within a fast-paced enterprise environment in a contract role.

This role is ideal for a hands-on change management practitioner who enjoys turning plans into action.

• Create and maintain stakeholder engagement, communications, and adoption plans.
• Develop communications and change-related deliverables, including presentations, stakeholder updates, leadership communications, end-user resources, FAQs, toolkits, and supporting materials.
• Prepare executive-ready PowerPoint presentations and communications for leadership and project stakeholders.
• Coordinate communication review, approval, and feedback processes across multiple stakeholder groups.
• Support stakeholder engagement, readiness, adoption, and feedback activities throughout the project lifecycle.
• Maintain change management project plans, schedules, trackers, and related documentation.
• Coordinate and support webinars, workshops, stakeholder meetings, and other change-related activities.
• Partner closely with project teams, business stakeholders, and leadership to ensure change activities remain aligned with project objectives and timelines.
• Monitor progress, identify risks or gaps, and adjust plans as project needs evolve.
• Leverage Microsoft Copilot and other productivity tools to accelerate content development and administrative tasks.
