1What this role really is

This isn't just about sending emails; it's about making sure people actually understand and use new ways of working. You'll be the backbone of our change efforts, making sure all the little pieces come together smoothly. Think of it as being the stage manager for a big production—you're not the star, but nothing happens without you.

2What you'd actually use

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

Microsoft Teams / SlackIntermediate

Managing channels, posting updates, organising virtual meetings, and using basic chat functions to communicate with the team.

Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)Intermediate

Drafting documents and communications in Word, basic data entry and simple filtering in Excel, and preparing presentation slides in PowerPoint.

Digital Adoption Platform (e.g., WalkMe, Pendo)Basic

Navigating pre-built dashboards to see basic user activity, or deploying simple, pre-made guided tours under supervision.

Survey & Feedback Tools (e.g., SurveyMonkey, Qualtrics)Intermediate

Deploying existing survey templates, collecting responses, and exporting raw data for analysis.

Project Management Tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Smartsheet)Intermediate

Updating tasks, tracking your own deliverables, and understanding where your work fits into the overall project plan.

3What 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 inWhere you are nowThe step above
Communication Content & ToneDraft content using templates; all content requires review and approval from your manager before sending.Develop content for specific audiences; review with manager for strategic alignment and tone.Approve content for specific channels; consult with leadership on critical messaging.
Training Schedule & LogisticsBook rooms/virtual sessions based on instructions; escalate any conflicts or issues to manager.Propose training schedules and resource allocation; get manager approval before finalising.Define overall training strategy and budget; approve significant changes to the plan.
Problem Solving (Operational)Escalate all non-routine issues or anything you're unsure about to your manager.Solve routine operational problems independently; escalate exceptions or complex issues.Resolve complex operational issues; make recommendations for process improvements.
Budget AllocationNo budget authority. All expenses must be pre-approved by your manager.Manage small project budgets (e.g., £1K-£5K for training materials); approval needed for larger spends.Approve project budgets up to £50K; recommend larger budget allocations to Director.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Communication Asset Delivery Rate
Percentage of drafted communication materials (e.g., emails, intranet posts) submitted on or before agreed deadlines.
Target · 95%+

If you're asked to draft 10 comms pieces in a week, you'll need to get at least 9 of them to your manager on time.

Training Session Coordination Accuracy
Error rate in scheduling, inviting, and preparing materials for training sessions.
Target · Less than 2% error rate

Out of 50 training slots booked, you'll have no more than one instance of a wrong room, incorrect invite, or missing material.

Feedback Data Entry Accuracy
Accuracy of data entered from surveys, feedback forms, or workshop notes into our tracking systems.
Target · 99%+

When inputting 100 survey responses, you'll make sure there are no more than one or two typos or miscategorisations.

Stakeholder Register Maintenance
How up-to-date and accurate the contact details and basic information are in our stakeholder tracking system.
Target · 98% accuracy

You'll check against a master list and ensure nearly all contacts have the correct department and reporting line documented.

Proactive Support & Initiative
Looking for ways to help the team without being asked, or spotting potential issues before they become problems.
  • Your manager mentions you've already started drafting something they were about to ask for, or you flag a potential scheduling conflict before it happens. You're suggesting small improvements to processes you own.
Learning & Application of Change Methodology
How quickly you pick up our change management approaches (like ADKAR) and start applying them in your daily tasks.
  • You're using the correct terminology in your drafts, you understand *why* certain communications are structured a particular way, and you can explain the basics of our approach to a new colleague.
Team Collaboration & Communication
How well you work with your immediate team, asking for help when needed and keeping everyone in the loop.
  • You're regularly checking in with your manager on task progress, you're clear when you need more information, and you offer to help colleagues when your own workload allows.
Adaptability to Changing Priorities
Your ability to adjust when plans shift (which they often do in change projects!) without getting flustered.
  • A training session gets cancelled last minute, and you calmly reschedule it, update the comms, and move on to the next task without needing constant reassurance.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Learning and Development

You're keen to understand the 'why' behind tasks, asking questions about the bigger project goals. You'll actively seek feedback on your work and look for opportunities to pick up new skills or tools.

After drafting a comms plan, you'll ask your manager to walk you through the ADKAR model and explain how it influenced the messaging.

Making a Tangible Contribution

You enjoy seeing your work directly support the team and knowing that your efforts are helping colleagues navigate change. You get satisfaction from ticking off tasks and knowing they're done well.

You've successfully organised a training session for 50 people, and you see the positive feedback come through, knowing you made that happen.

Working as Part of a Supportive Team

You like the idea of being part of a group working towards a common goal. You're happy to help out where you can and appreciate receiving guidance and support from more experienced colleagues.

You offer to help a team member with a task when you've finished your own, or you ask for clarification rather than struggling alone.

What frustrates people
  • Being asked to do something that feels like 'just admin' without understanding the bigger picture.
  • Dealing with last-minute changes to plans that mess up your carefully organised schedule.
  • Not always getting direct feedback from the end-users you're trying to help, so it's hard to know if your efforts are landing.
  • Having to chase people for information or approvals to get your tasks done.
What this role does not give you
  • High-level strategic decision-making in your first year.
  • Complete autonomy over your workload or project direction.
  • A role where every task you do has a clear, immediate, and visible 'win' attached to it.
  • A quiet, predictable environment with no last-minute 'fire drills'.

6Who you work with

This role directly supports the smooth execution of change initiatives. Your accuracy and timeliness in tasks like scheduling, drafting, and data entry mean less friction for employees adopting new ways of working. Essentially, you help reduce the 'noise' of change, allowing others to focus on the strategic bits. If you're not on top of things, it can cause delays, confusion, and extra work for the whole team.

Inside the business
  • Project Managers (for specific project support)
  • Training Team (to coordinate sessions)
  • Internal Communications Team (for message alignment)
  • End-users (indirectly, through feedback channels)
Outside the business
  • Training Vendors (occasionally, for scheduling support)

7What you need before you start

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

  • A genuine interest in how people adapt to change and how organisations work.
  • Solid organisational skills – you're good at keeping track of things.
  • Clear and concise written communication skills.
  • A can-do attitude and willingness to learn from others.
  • Comfortable using standard office software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) Usage

You'll move from just monitoring basic dashboards to understanding how to segment users and target specific guidance. This means being able to interpret more complex analytics to see *who* is struggling and *why*.

User Segmentation · Targeted Guidance · Basic A/B Testing

  • This week: Ask your manager to show you how they segment users in our DAP.
  • This month: Shadow a senior team member when they're analysing DAP data.
  • Month 2: Propose a simple A/B test idea for a piece of guidance.
  • Month 3: Take an online course on 'Introduction to Digital Adoption Platforms'.

Quick win: Look at the DAP dashboards and try to identify one group of users who seem to be struggling more than others.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Reading books or articles on organisational psychology, change management, or communication strategies.
  • Attending internal webinars or workshops on new tools or processes.
  • Seeking out mentorship from more senior colleagues in the Business Transformation team.
  • Taking online courses on platforms like LinkedIn Learning or Coursera in areas like 'Introduction to Project Management' or 'Effective Business Communication'.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: AI-Assisted Content Creation

AI tools are getting seriously good at drafting text. You'll need to know how to use them effectively to generate first drafts of comms, FAQs, and even training materials much faster than you could before. It's about working smarter, not harder.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

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 Adoption Coordinator is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Where it leads

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

Start free and meet yours

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of the foundational work in change management can be time-consuming. But what if you could get a head start on those tasks, freeing you up to learn more and contribute in bigger ways? That's where AI comes in.

We're building an AI Productivity Hub to help everyone, including our Change Adoption Coordinators, work smarter. You won't be replaced by AI, but you'll definitely be using it to make your life easier and your output better. Think of it as having a super-efficient assistant for your daily grind.

Comms Content Drafting

Use generative AI to create first drafts of emails, FAQs, and intranet posts. Just give it the key points, and it'll produce a structured, on-brand message for you to refine. It's like having a copywriter on demand.

Feedback Summary Assistant

Feed open-ended comments from surveys or workshop notes into an AI tool. It can quickly summarise themes, identify common frustrations, and even flag key sentiment, saving you hours of manual reading and categorising.

Impact Assessment Support

When we're figuring out how a new process affects people, AI can help. You can use it to compare 'before and after' descriptions of roles or tasks, getting a quick first pass at what's actually changing for people.

Scheduling & Organisation Helper

Use AI-powered scheduling tools to find optimal meeting times, manage complex invites, and even draft follow-up reminders. It takes the pain out of coordinating multiple calendars and time zones.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Change Adoption Coordinator, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Change Adoption Coordinator: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain in this role—understanding how people react to change, communicating effectively, and managing projects—are incredibly valuable across almost any industry. You'll be well-placed to move into similar roles in technology, finance, healthcare, or public sector organisations, as everyone needs to manage change!
