If you're passionate about leading IT integration efforts, ensuring a positive experience, and add-ing value for employees in acquired companies, you might be a great fit for the Change Manager role within our Digital, Data & IT (DD&IT) Mergers & Acquisition (M&A) team.

Behind the title
As the IT organisational Change Manager for the DD&IT M&A Corporate Assets team, your main responsibility is to develop and execute the organisational change management work package in the integration projects. For many employees in our acquired companies, IT is the first tangible change they meet. And if not managed well, the encounter with Enterprise IT systems can be a great cause of distress. Your role includes collaborating with key stakeholders to drive quick adoption, increased usage, and improved proficiency in changes.

Your Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement change management strategies and plans for the IT Integration team.
• Assess the impact of IT changes on the acquired company and its employees and form in-itiatives ensuring a successful transition during Day 1 and throughout the integration phase.
• Lead change management through track leads/project managers in the IT workstream, as well as lead change management through IT onsite support assigned to the acquired company for the Onboarding and Hypercare.
• Identify potential risks and develop mitigation plans to minimize disruption to opera-tions.
• Create and deliver training programs and support materials, as well as facilitate change management workshops and training sessions.
• Develop and implement communication plans to ensure stakeholders are well-informed, recognizing the crucial role of empowering and facilitating change through the acquired company's IT and leadership within corporate assets initiatives.
• Work closely with various departments to ensure smooth implementation of changes.
• Act as the Subject Matter Expert on Change Management within the IT Corporate Assets M&A team and contribute to the overall Change Management strategy for the DD&IT M&A team.

• Experience in creating and delivering training programs and support materials

On a personal level, you are a team player and can build relationships with colleagues and stake-holders on all levels of an organization. You can work independently and thrive in a busy and global environment where priorities change, and fast decisions are needed to move on. Success in this role requires excellent interpersonal and communication skills to build credibility and en-gage stakeholders at all levels, along with a strong cultural understanding.
