About The Position

The Change, Comms & OCM Manager provides central governance and leadership for organisational change management and change communications across DPTF. The role establishes standards, guardrails, templates and practices that enable product and platform teams to deliver organisational change effectively, and leads communications for transformation programmes affecting DPTF and the GSK teams it serves. Beyond the current operating model transition, the role owns DPTF’s ongoing change and communications capability, including continuous operating model evolution, adoption analytics and management of change saturation across the function. Its focus is business and organisational change, distinct from the technical change management process owned within Reliability Engineering and Operations. The role drives adoption of the DPTF operating model and its ways of working; design of the model is held across Technology Business Operations. It works closely with HR, platform and domain leadership, and GSK communications colleagues.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in business, communications, organisational psychology or a related field, or equivalent experience.
At least 8 years of experience in organisational change management, change communications or technology-enabled transformation roles.
Experience designing and delivering change strategies for operating model change, not only system implementation.
Experience establishing change standards, templates and governance used by teams outside the candidate’s direct control.
Experience leading communications for a large transformation, including sensitive people change.
Experience assessing organisational readiness and measuring adoption and sentiment.
Experience building and running a change network of champions across a distributed organisation.
Experience partnering with HR on people impacts, consultation and role change.
Familiarity with AI tools applied to audience analysis, content drafting and sentiment measurement.

Nice To Haves

Professional certification such as Prosci, ADKAR, Kotter or equivalent change management accreditation, or a communications or organisational development qualification.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including writing for executive and frontline audiences.
Strong judgement about tone and timing, particularly when change affects people’s roles.

Responsibilities

Define DPTF’s change and communications strategy for communicating with its people and the GSK teams it serves.
Establish change management standards, guardrails and governance for product and platform teams delivering organisational change.
Create and maintain reusable templates, frameworks and guidance that enable teams to run change without central delivery support.
Lead communications for large DPTF transformation programmes, including the operating model transition; sequence messages and channels for affected audiences and scale delivery capacity through contract support when needed while maintaining consistent standards and messaging.
Ensure organisational readiness approaches are in place before change, covering impact assessment, stakeholder mapping and adoption measures.
Design training and adoption approaches with business and learning partners.
Drive adoption of the DPTF operating model, build change capability within platform and product domains, and reduce central delivery over time, measuring progress against adoption KPIs.
Work with HR and business stakeholders to understand and plan for impacts on people, roles and ways of working.
Measure adoption and sentiment, report to leadership on where change is or is not landing, and adjust the approach based on evidence.
Build and run the DPTF change network, including change champions and stakeholder forums, and coach leaders and delivery teams.
Maintain a consolidated view of change affecting DPTF and its customers, identifying volumes or timing that could put adoption at risk.
Use AI tools to accelerate audience analysis, content drafting and sentiment measurement.
