For business‐led transformation initiatives, this role partners with and supports the designated business change leader, ensuring people impacts, readiness, adoption, and engagement are addressed. For the agile transformation, this role leads the end‐to‐end change management approach, shaping mindsets, behaviors, and leadership practices required to sustain agile ways of working. This role works closely with HR Business Partners (HRBPs), transformation leaders, and agile leaders to integrate change management, HR strategy, and agile principles into a cohesive, human‐centered change experience.

Monitor adoption and engagement indicators; surface insights and recommendations to business change leaders and HRBPs.
• Agile Transformation Change Leadership (Lead Role): Design and lead the change management strategy for the enterprise agile transformation. Design and execute comprehensive change plans to support shifts in mindset, leadership behaviors, decision‐making, and ways of working. Partner with Agile Coaches, Product leaders, and Transformation teams to embed change practices into agile delivery rhythms. Enable leaders and teams to understand and adopt agile values such as empowerment, transparency, experimentation, and continuous improvement. Define and track adoption and sustainability measures for agile ways of working; adjust strategies based on insights and feedback.
• HRBP Partnership & People Strategy Alignment: Work in close partnership with HR Business Partners to represent the people side of change for assigned business units. Ensure change approaches are aligned with broader people strategies, including performance management, talent, learning, engagement, and organizational design.

• Leader & Manager Enablement: Coach leaders and managers on their role in leading themselves and others through change. Develop leader and manager toolkits, adoption playbooks, and reinforcement strategies. Support leaders in modeling behaviors that reinforce transformation and agile principles.
• Collaboration & Integration: Partner with Transformation, Technology, Operations, Communications, and HR COEs to ensure change efforts are integrated and cohesive.
