3What this role really is

A Digital Change Coordinator helps people use new digital tools and systems, turning technical changes into practical steps for daily work.

4What you'd actually use

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

You'll use pre-built templates for stakeholder maps, journey mapping, and workshop activities. You'll be comfortable leading small group breakout sessions.

You'll manage and update your assigned tasks within an existing project plan, making sure your deadlines are met. You'll also run pre-built status reports.

WalkMe (or similar Digital Adoption Platform) Basic

You'll create simple, single-step in-app guides and pop-up announcements using existing templates. You'll also monitor basic analytics.

Confluence (or similar Knowledge Management tool) Intermediate

You'll create and format pages for project documentation, upload training materials, and manage page permissions. Keeping the project space organised is key.

Qualtrics (or similar Employee Experience/Survey tool) Intermediate

You'll launch surveys using pre-designed templates (e.g., readiness assessments, post-training feedback). You'll also export raw data for basic analysis.

Salesforce (or other relevant Enterprise System) User

You'll need to deeply understand the end-user experience of the system we're changing. This means you can effectively demo it, answer common 'how-to' questions, and speak confidently about its functionality.

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 choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above

Develops comprehensive stakeholder engagement plans for projects. Advises project leadership on managing resistant stakeholders. Leads critical stakeholder meetings.
Problem Solving / Issue Resolution	Identifies issues and escalates to supervisor for resolution. Does not propose solutions independently.

Independently resolves most technical and process-related issues within project scope. Defines escalation paths for complex problems. Mentors juniors on problem-solving.

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.

On-time Delivery of Change Materials

Getting your communication drafts, training schedules, and impact assessments ready for review by the agreed deadlines.

Target · 95% of assigned materials delivered on time

If a training schedule for the new CRM is due on Friday, you'll have it ready for sign-off by then, even if it means a late Thursday night.

Training Session Attendance Rate

How many invited participants actually turn up to the training sessions you've helped organise and deliver.

Target · >85% attendance for critical training sessions

For a mandatory Sales team CRM training, if 50 people were invited, 43 or more showed up. You'll track this, and if it's low, you'll try to figure out why.

Communication Clarity Feedback Score

The average score from post-communication surveys or informal feedback on how clear, concise, and helpful your messages were.

Target · >4.0 out of 5.0 (or similar on a 1-5 scale)

After sending out the 'New HR System Go-Live' email, a quick survey shows an average score of 4.2 for clarity and usefulness.

Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) Engagement

Tracking how many users engage with the in-app guides and walkthroughs you've helped build in tools like WalkMe.

Target · >70% engagement rate on key walkthroughs within 30 days of launch

For the new expense reporting module, 72% of active users clicked on at least one of your 'how-to' guides in the first month.

Change-Related Help Desk Ticket Reduction

Measuring the decrease in support tickets directly related to confusion or issues with new systems or processes you've helped roll out, post-hypercare.

Target · 15% reduction in relevant tickets 60 days post-launch compared to the first 30 days

If the new invoicing system generated 100 tickets in its first month, you'd aim for 85 or fewer in the second month.

Stakeholder Support Feedback

How well you're perceived by project managers and departmental leads for your proactive support and clear communication.

You'll hear things like, 'Sarah was invaluable in getting my team on board' or 'She always brought solutions, not just problems.' This often comes up in informal chats or project retrospectives.

Proactive Resistance Identification

Your ability to spot potential resistance early, before it becomes a major problem, and suggest ways to deal with it.

You'll flag an issue in a project meeting, saying, 'I've heard a few people in Finance are worried about X
maybe we should do Y.' Your lead will notice you're thinking ahead.

Quality of Feedback Synthesis

How well you can take raw feedback from surveys or conversations and turn it into actionable insights for the project team.

You'll present a summary of user feedback that clearly highlights the top 3 pain points and offers concrete suggestions for improvement.

Champion Network Engagement

The effectiveness of your efforts to build and maintain a network of 'change champions' within the business.

Your champions will be actively sharing positive messages, answering questions in their teams, and feeding back useful insights to you. You'll see them step up without you constantly prodding them.

7Would you like it

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

What people enjoy

Seeing People 'Get It'

You get a real buzz from that 'aha!' moment when someone you've trained or supported finally understands a new system and can use it confidently. It's seeing your efforts directly translate into someone else's success.

You've spent weeks helping the Finance team transition to a new expense system. When you see them processing claims smoothly, you feel a genuine sense of accomplishment.

Solving Human Problems

You're driven by the challenge of figuring out *why* people are resisting a change and then designing a clever way to help them overcome that. It's less about the tech and more about the psychology.

You discover people avoid a new tool due to fear of mistakes. You propose a 'safe sandbox' for practice, easing fears and increasing adoption.

Making a Tangible Difference

You want your work to have a real, observable impact on how the business operates and how people experience their jobs. You're not content with just pushing papers.

You've coordinated the rollout of a new collaboration platform, and you start seeing teams actively using it, sharing ideas, and working more efficiently.

What frustrates people

Being the enthusiastic face of a poorly designed change.
Project timelines and scopes shifting constantly after communications are out.
Senior leaders publicly supporting a change but privately undermining it.
Being blamed for low adoption when the tech itself is the problem.
Constantly fighting for airtime on busy team meeting agendas.
Sensible phased rollouts being replaced by risky 'big bang' launches.

What this role does not give you

A perfectly predictable, stable work environment.
Complete control over project scope or technical solutions.
Immediate, universal acceptance of your recommendations.
A role where you can avoid difficult conversations or pushback.

8Who you work with

Your work directly influences how quickly our people adapt to new technology and processes. Get it right, and we're more efficient and competitive. Get it wrong, and we're stuck with legacy systems and frustrated staff, which, let's be real, costs us money and talent.

Inside the business

Your immediate Business Transformation & Change team
Product Management teams (especially those building the new tools)
Sales Operations and Finance (they're usually the ones getting new systems)
HR and Internal Communications (you'll work closely on messaging)
Departmental leads and their teams (the end-users of the change)

Outside the business

Software vendors (sometimes you'll coordinate with their training teams)
External consultants (if we've brought in extra help for a big project)

9What you need before you start

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

At least 2 years of experience in a project support, communications, HR, or training role, ideally within a corporate environment.
Demonstrable experience in drafting clear written communications for varied audiences.
Some experience (even informal) in coordinating events, training sessions, or workshops.
A basic understanding of project management principles and how to manage your own tasks and deadlines.
Comfortable using common office software (Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace) and picking up new digital tools quickly.

10What to practise next

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

Advanced Asana Project Management

As projects become more complex and interconnected, you'll need to move beyond managing your own tasks to building and managing entire project plans, including dependencies, resource allocation, and risk tracking. This means becoming a true power user.

Portfolio Management · Custom Fields & Automation · Reporting & Dashboards

This month: Explore Asana's advanced reporting features and try building a custom dashboard for your current project.
Next quarter: Take an online course on advanced project planning and resource management within Asana.
Month 3: Volunteer to help your lead build out a new project plan from scratch, focusing on dependencies and timelines.

Quick win: Set up a new Asana project for a small initiative, including all tasks, subtasks, and dependencies, without needing your lead's direct input.

Qualtrics Survey Design & Analysis

You'll move from launching pre-designed surveys to building more sophisticated ones that capture nuanced feedback. This means understanding survey methodology and how to get truly actionable insights from the data, not just raw numbers.

Branching Logic & Skip Patterns · Question Types & Bias · Dashboard Creation & Interpretation

This month: Complete Qualtrics' 'CoreXM Expert' certification.
Next quarter: Design and build a new readiness assessment survey from scratch, including advanced logic.
Month 3: Take ownership of analysing and presenting the results from a major employee sentiment survey.

Quick win: Review an existing survey in Qualtrics and suggest 2-3 improvements to its design or question phrasing to get better data.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Join industry groups or online communities focused on change management or digital adoption (e.g., ACMP, Digital Adoption Institute).
Read books and articles on organisational psychology, behavioural economics, and user adoption.
Attend webinars and conferences (virtual or in-person) to stay current with trends and best practices.
Seek out opportunities to mentor more junior colleagues or new joiners, even informally—it's a great way to solidify your own understanding.
Actively participate in internal 'lunch and learn' sessions or knowledge-sharing forums within our Business Transformation team.

12The rising capability

The rising capability

What's rising in its place

This is where the work is heading, and the higher pay with it. Get fluent here and the shift stops being a threat and starts being your edge.

Data Storytelling for Change

It's not enough to just collect data on adoption or resistance; you need to tell a compelling story with it. Leaders are overwhelmed with numbers; they need narratives that explain why something is happening and what we should do about it. This is how you move from reporting to influencing.

Narrative Arc
Visualisation Best Practices
Audience-Centric Framing
Call to Action

Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) Advanced Configuration

Our reliance on DAPs like WalkMe is only going to grow. Moving beyond basic guides to building complex, personalised, and proactive in-app experiences will be critical. The better we get at this, the less traditional training we'll need, and the faster people will adopt new tools.

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 Digital Change Coordinator is actually changing.

- End-to-end change project management (designing full change strategies).
- Advanced stakeholder management for senior leaders and external vendors.
- Budget management (for change activities up to, say, £5K-£10K).
- More complex data analysis for deeper insights into adoption and impact.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, a lot of change management work involves repetitive tasks: drafting comms, analysing feedback, mapping stakeholders. What if you could get a serious head start on all of that? Our AI Productivity Hub isn't about replacing you; it's about giving you superpowers.

Imagine turning hours of manual work into minutes, freeing you up to do the really interesting stuff – like having those crucial conversations, deeply understanding resistance, and designing truly impactful interventions. This isn't just about buzzwords; it's about practical tools that change your day-to-day.

First-Draft Communications Engine

Use our GenAI tool, trained on our past project communications, to instantly generate first drafts of newsletters, FAQs, and go-live announcements. Just give it a few bullet points, and it'll produce consistent, on-brand messaging, saving you hours of staring at a blank page.

Sentiment Analysis Synthesiser

Got hundreds of open-ended survey responses? Feed them into our AI tool. It'll instantly categorise feedback themes, pinpoint key resistance points, and even quantify sentiment by department. You'll turn mountains of qualitative data into actionable insights in minutes, not days.

Stakeholder Persona Creator

Input a stakeholder group's role, department, and known pain points into an AI assistant. It'll generate a detailed 'Day in the Life Of' narrative, predicting their likely questions, concerns, and 'WIIFM' for the change. This helps you tailor your engagement strategies much faster.

Personalised Training Video Generator

Use an AI video platform (like Synthesia, which we use) to create multiple, tailored versions of training videos from a single script. Customise them with role-specific examples for different teams – Sales, Finance, Operations – making your training far more relevant and engaging, with minimal extra effort.
