Job description
OVERVIEW
We are hiring a Senior Change Lead for a client in the Phoenix metro area, within a product and technology group. We are looking for someone with product operating model experience. You will own how a large stakeholder group understands, accepts, and adopts a new way of working, and you will be the person accountable for whether adoption actually happens.
Hybrid role, 2 to 3 days a week onsite.
Compensation: $68 to $78 per hour
Contract, 6 months, with potential to extend or convert to permanent
RESPONSIBILITIES
Own the change strategy end to end, from stakeholder analysis through to measured adoption
Build understanding of what a product operating model is and how it differs from how the organization has worked, across leaders who have not worked this way before
Build the narrative for what is changing and why, and make it land differently for each audience
Map the stakeholder landscape, identify where resistance is likely, and plan for it before it surfaces
Design and facilitate workshops, offsites, and working sessions, then run them yourself
Establish an adoption baseline at the outset and measure progress against it
Coach senior leaders through visible sponsorship, including preparing them for difficult conversations
Partner with product, design, research, and engineering leadership to reinforce the model through how they run their own teams
Build the change artifacts the organization will keep using, including readiness assessments, engagement plans, and communication frameworks
Direct the work of communications and enablement resources supporting the effort
Report on adoption progress to executive stakeholders and adjust the approach based on what the data shows
QUALIFICATIONS
8+ years in organizational change management, with several leading enterprise scale efforts
Demonstrated experience on operating model, ways of working, or cultural change rather than only technology deployment
Direct experience supporting a shift toward a product operating model, including the move from project based delivery to product ownership
Strong executive presence and the credibility to challenge a senior leader constructively
Deep facilitation skill across large group sessions, offsites, and small working groups
Fluency in a recognized change methodology such as Prosci ADKAR, Kotter, or an equivalent framework
Experience building change capability where little or no formal function existed
Ability to define and track adoption metrics, and to use them to redirect the work
Comfort operating with ambiguity while the broader organizational design is still being settled
Excellent written communication, including executive level materials
NICE TO HAVE
Prosci or equivalent change certification
Working understanding of product practice, including discovery, roadmapping, and the difference between outputs and outcomes
Experience in a large, decentralized organization with multiple semi autonomous units
Background in product, technology, or digital transformation environments
Experience transitioning a capability from external support to internal ownership
