About The Position

The Manager, Organizational Change Management (OCM) plays a critical role in enabling the successful adoption of change across our global organization. This position is responsible for planning, leading, and delivering OCM activities in alignment with the scope and needs of assigned change initiatives. This role operates within the framework of our OCM Center of Expertise (COE) and must be able to flex seamlessly across multiple scopes of change at the same time—from serving as a fully dedicated resource on large transformational initiatives, consulting with leaders on mid-sized transitions, and guiding teams to self-service resources for smaller initiatives. By balancing these service levels, the Manager ensures that employees are prepared, equipped, and supported to adopt new processes, systems, and ways of working. Although this role has no direct reports, the Manager will regularly lead and influence cross-functional teams through change efforts. They must be able to mobilize diverse groups, build alignments, and drive results without formal authority. This role requires a self-starter who can independently lead end-to-end initiatives, proactively identify needs, design effective solutions, and drive outcomes with minimal direction. As part of our long-term strategy to build organizational change maturity, the Manager will also play a vital role in coaching and educating business leaders. They will help leaders strengthen their change leadership capabilities and embed consistent practices across the enterprise.
