Job description

As a Principal Organizational Change Lead, you'll drive the successful execution of enterprise transformation initiatives by designing and delivering end-to-end change strategies that enable adoption and measurable business outcomes. You won't just recommend the plan - you'll build it, refine it, and execute it. From strategy development to executive-ready presentations, communications, stakeholder engagement, and adoption plans, you will be hands-on in delivering the work that drives results.
Our team often manages multiple high-priority initiatives simultaneously. We're looking for someone who thrives in that environment - a strategic thinker who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves to get the work done.
About the role

  • Lead change strategy and execution for complex, cross-functional transformation initiatives

  • Translate business objectives into clear, actionable change and adoption plans

  • Build executive-ready materials that communicate strategy, progress, risks, and impact

  • Develop stakeholder engagement plans, communications, and enablement materials

  • Conduct impact and readiness assessments to inform approach and mitigate risk

  • Facilitate working sessions and leadership discussions to drive alignment and accountability

  • Manage multiple concurrent initiatives with tight timelines and evolving priorities

  • Track adoption and effectiveness, adjusting plans to drive results

  • Partner with business leaders, project teams, and communications partners to ensure cohesive delivery

  • Contribute to strengthening enterprise change and transformation practices


About You
Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in business, organizational development, human resources, communications, or a related field

  • 3+ years of experience leading or supporting transformation, change, or complex cross-functional initiatives

  • Demonstrated experience owning initiatives from strategy through execution

  • Proven ability to create clear, structured plans and drive work forward in fast-paced environments

  • Strong executive communication skills, including experience building presentations and synthesizing complex information

  • Experience developing stakeholder-facing materials such as communications, plans, or enablement resources

  • Ability to manage multiple concurrent priorities while maintaining quality and momentum

  • Strong facilitation and stakeholder engagement skills

  • Analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to turn ambiguity into actionable next steps


Preferred Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in transformation, organizational change, program delivery, or related roles

  • Experience supporting enterprise-wide or multi-business area initiatives

  • Familiarity with change management methodologies (e.g., Prosci, ADKAR, Kotter, or similar)

  • Experience working in fast-paced organizations

  • Experience measuring adoption, engagement, or business impact related to transformation efforts
