3What this role really is

A change coordinator supports large change programmes, keeping the many moving parts organised and on track. The work involves tracking tasks, coordinating between people, and making sure details do not get missed while others handle the more complex decisions. It gives a close-up view of how change actually happens in a large organisation, day to day.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Miro Basic

Participating in workshops, adding sticky notes, navigating pre-built boards for brainstorming or journey mapping. You won't be designing boards, but you'll be a good participant.

Microsoft SharePoint Basic

Uploading and downloading documents, navigating team sites, updating simple lists, and following established filing structures for project documentation.

Power BI Basic

Viewing and interpreting pre-built dashboards on adoption rates or sentiment scores. You'll understand what the numbers mean, but won't be building the dashboards yourself.

Qualtrics Basic

Distributing pre-written surveys, performing basic data exports to Excel, and helping to track completion rates.

Asana Basic

Updating your personal tasks, commenting on project activities, tracking progress against assigned work, and flagging any blockers to your manager.

Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) Intermediate

Creating and formatting professional documents, managing basic data in spreadsheets, and building clear presentations based on templates.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Communication Content & Timing Draft initial content based on templates; inform manager of any suggested changes; *no independent sending*. Draft and propose content for review; suggest timing based on project plan; *requires manager approval*. Develop full communication plans; approve content for specific audiences; *consult with project lead*.
Project Task Prioritisation Prioritise daily tasks based on manager's guidance; *escalate conflicts immediately*. Prioritise tasks within your workstream; *consult manager on cross-project conflicts*. Manage priorities for your project; *make recommendations on resource allocation*.
Tool & System Usage Use specified tools (e.g., Asana, SharePoint) as instructed; *report any technical issues*. Choose appropriate features within approved tools; *propose new tool uses for efficiency*. Select and configure tools for a project; *recommend new tools for team approval*.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Communication Delivery Rate
Percentage of scheduled communications (emails, intranet posts) sent on time.
Target · 98% on-time delivery

If we planned 20 comms for a month, you'd need to get 19 or 20 of them out exactly when we said we would. Missing one means chasing up and potentially delaying important messages.

Training Session Logistics Accuracy
Number of errors or issues in organising training events (e.g., room bookings, calendar invites, material distribution).
Target · <2 errors per event (average)

For a training session with 30 people, you'd make sure the room is booked, the projector works, everyone has the right materials, and the invites are correct. If the room is double-booked or the wrong handouts are there, that counts as an error.

Survey Completion Support
Helping to achieve target completion rates for change readiness or pulse surveys by managing reminders and distribution.
Target · 70%+ survey completion rates (for surveys you support)

You'll help send out survey links and follow-up reminders. If the target is 70% completion, your timely reminders and clear instructions really help us get there. Getting 60% means we don't have enough data to make good decisions.

Document Management Compliance
Adherence to document version control and filing standards on SharePoint.
Target · 100% compliance for assigned documents

When you upload a new version of a change plan, it needs to be named correctly and saved in the right folder. If someone finds an outdated version because you didn't follow the rules, that's a problem.

Team Support & Proactiveness
How well you anticipate team needs and offer help without being asked.
  • You're often asking 'Can I help with that?' before someone has to ask you. You spot a gap in meeting notes and fill it. Senior team members mention you've made their lives easier.
Learning Agility
How quickly you pick up new tools, processes, and change management concepts.
  • You ask good questions, apply feedback quickly, and don't make the same mistake twice. You're comfortable with new software after a quick walkthrough. You start using change terminology correctly in conversations.
Organisational Skills
Your ability to keep track of multiple tasks, deadlines, and information streams.
  • Your tasks are always up-to-date in Asana. You can quickly find any document or piece of information the team needs. You rarely miss a deadline for your assigned tasks.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Difference

You get a real kick out of seeing a communication you helped draft go out and get good feedback, or knowing that a training session you organised went smoothly and helped people. You like contributing to something bigger.

Seeing an email you helped write get a high open rate, or getting a 'thank you' from a colleague for helping them prepare for a workshop.

Learning and Growth

You're excited by the opportunity to learn about how a big business runs, how change is managed, and to pick up new skills and tools. You see every task as a chance to understand more.

Spending an hour after a meeting researching a change management concept mentioned, or asking a senior colleague to explain the 'why' behind a specific task.

Structured Problem Solving

You like taking a messy situation (like a pile of documents that need organising) and bringing order to it. You enjoy the process of breaking down a task and executing it efficiently.

Creating a clear folder structure for a new project, or streamlining the process for sending out weekly updates.

What frustrates people
  • Being asked to do 'urgent' tasks that then get deprioritised or forgotten.
  • Feeling like you're just doing admin, even though you know it's important.
  • Chasing people for information or approvals when they're slow to respond.
  • Working on a communication that gets heavily edited or changed at the last minute.
  • Dealing with legacy systems or processes that aren't very efficient.
What this role does not give you
  • High levels of independent strategic decision-making.
  • Direct management responsibility for a team.
  • A role where every day is completely different and unpredictable.
  • The ability to single-handedly define project direction or scope.

8Who you work with

This role ensures the foundational elements of change initiatives are in place and run smoothly. Your attention to detail means communications go out on time, training sessions are well-organised, and project documentation is up-to-date. Without this support, the change team would get bogged down in admin, slowing down critical transformation efforts and potentially leading to employee confusion or resistance.

Inside the business
  • Project Managers
  • Learning & Development Team
  • Internal Communications Team
  • Business Unit Leads (for specific projects)
Outside the business
  • Training Vendors (occasionally)
  • Software Implementation Partners (for comms support)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A genuine interest in how businesses operate and change.
  • Solid organisational skills – you can juggle a few tasks and keep track of deadlines.
  • Good written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proficiency with common office software (Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
  • A proactive attitude and willingness to ask questions and learn.
  • The ability to work effectively as part of a team.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced SharePoint & Document Management

As we rely more on digital collaboration, being able to set up and manage SharePoint sites effectively becomes crucial. You'll need to move beyond just filing documents to understanding permissions, version control, and site structure.

SharePoint Site Architecture · Permissions Management · Workflow Automation (Basic) · Search Optimisation

  • This week: Take a deep dive into our existing SharePoint sites. Understand their structure and how documents are organised.
  • This month: Volunteer to help clean up a project's SharePoint site, applying best practices for naming and filing.
  • Month 2: Ask your manager to walk you through how permissions are set up for a specific project folder.
  • Month 3: Research basic SharePoint workflow capabilities and suggest one small automation for a repetitive task.

Quick win: Take ownership of the filing and organisation for one of your current projects. Make it a model of clarity and consistency.

Basic Data Visualisation & Storytelling (Power BI)

As you progress, you'll need to not just look at dashboards, but understand how to pull out key insights and present them clearly. This means moving from interpreting data to helping tell the story behind the numbers.

Key Metrics Identification · Dashboard Navigation & Filtering · Basic Chart Types & Usage · Data Storytelling Principles

  • This week: Spend time exploring all the existing Power BI dashboards. Click everything, understand what each visual shows.
  • This month: Ask your manager to explain a specific metric on a dashboard and how it relates to a change project.
  • Month 2: Practice summarising the key takeaways from a dashboard in a short paragraph for a team update.
  • Month 3: Take an online course on basic data visualisation principles, focusing on clarity and impact.

Quick win: When reviewing a dashboard, try to articulate 2-3 key insights and what they might mean for the project. Share these with your manager.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Shadow senior change practitioners in meetings and workshops to observe how they work.
  • Take online courses on foundational change management concepts or project support skills.
  • Actively seek feedback on your work and apply it to improve.
  • Participate in internal 'Lunch & Learn' sessions on various business topics.
  • Read industry articles or books on change management to build your knowledge.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Change Coordinator is actually changing.
