3What this role really is

A Global Change Management Assistant helps people understand and adjust to changes happening across a global business. You help explain what is changing, why it matters, and what people need to do differently. Without this work, new systems or processes often fail to stick. The role connects project teams with the people who have to work differently day to day.

4What you'd actually use

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

Microsoft Teams / Slack Intermediate

Posting announcements in relevant channels, scheduling and running meetings (including using polling features), and managing team communications. You'll be a regular user of these platforms.

Asana / Monday.com Intermediate

Updating task statuses on change plans, attaching deliverables, commenting on assigned tasks, and building out basic project plans for your workstreams. Your manager will expect you to keep your tasks up-to-date here.

Qualtrics / SurveyMonkey Intermediate

Designing complex surveys with branching logic, distributing them to target audiences, and exporting raw data for analysis. You'll be the one setting up and running our pulse surveys.

Power BI / Tableau Basic

Viewing and filtering existing dashboards to track adoption and sentiment metrics. You'll export data and visuals for inclusion in your presentations or reports, but you won't be building complex dashboards from scratch yet.

Confluence / Notion Intermediate

Creating and formatting pages using existing templates, updating FAQs, and managing sections of the project's knowledge base. You'll be responsible for keeping key documentation current and organised.

Workday HCM / SAP SuccessFactors (Reporting) Basic

Running pre-defined reports to pull employee lists for communication targeting or training cohorts. You'll need to know how to get the right data out of these systems when needed.

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 Drafts content from templates; timing approved by manager. Drafts content based on messaging guidelines; proposes timing for non-critical comms; manager approves final send. Designs communication strategy and content; approves most comms; consults director on high-impact messages.
Survey Design & Distribution Distributes pre-written surveys; exports raw data. Designs survey questions and logic; proposes distribution strategy; manager approves final survey. Defines survey objectives and methodology; owns end-to-end survey process and reporting.
Resistance Management Tactics Identifies individual resistance; escalates to manager. Identifies common resistance themes; proposes specific tactics (e.g., targeted FAQ, manager talking points); manager approves. Develops comprehensive resistance management plan; coaches managers on handling resistance; owns execution.
Training Logistics Schedules rooms, sends invites, tracks attendance. Organises full training programmes; manages participant lists; coordinates with trainers. Designs training curriculum; selects training providers; manages budget for training initiatives.

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
How often our planned communications actually go out on time.
Target · Achieve >98% of communications delivered on schedule.

If we've got 50 planned messages for a project this month, you'll need to make sure at least 49 of them are sent out when they're supposed to be. Missing a key announcement can really throw people off.

Pulse Survey Response Rate
The percentage of targeted employees who complete our short, frequent surveys.
Target · Achieve >45% response rate on pulse surveys.

If you send a survey to 200 people, we're aiming for at least 90 responses. A higher response rate means we're getting better insights into how people are feeling.

Stakeholder Distribution List Accuracy
The correctness of our lists for targeting communications and training.
Target · Maintain stakeholder distribution lists with <2% error rate.

Out of 500 contacts on a list, you should have no more than 10 outdated emails or incorrect roles. Getting this wrong means people miss vital info.

Training Session Attendance Rate
The percentage of invited individuals who attend scheduled training sessions.
Target · Achieve >80% attendance for mandatory training sessions.

If 100 people are required to attend a session, we'd expect at least 80 to show up. You'll be tracking this closely and chasing up no-shows.

Quality of Change Deliverables
How clear, accurate, and useful your communication materials, survey designs, and documentation are.
  • Positive feedback from project leads and end-users on clarity and relevance. Deliverables require minimal edits from your manager. Communications are easy to understand and don't generate lots of confused questions. Training materials are practical and well-received.
Proactive Issue Identification
Your ability to spot potential resistance or confusion early and flag it to the team.
  • You bring up early warnings from survey data or informal conversations before they become bigger problems. You propose solutions or adjustments to the change plan based on your observations, rather than just reacting. Your manager doesn't have to prompt you to look for these things.
Stakeholder Engagement & Relationships
How effectively you build rapport and work with various internal teams and business unit reps.
  • Peers and business contacts willingly share information with you. You're seen as a helpful, approachable point of contact. You get good input for your surveys and communications because people trust you to listen. You're not just sending emails
  • you're building connections.
Contribution to Team Knowledge
How you share what you've learned and help improve our team's overall approach.
  • You document lessons learned from your projects. You actively participate in team discussions, sharing insights from your work. You might even offer to help a new joiner understand a process or tool. It's about making the whole team better, not just your own work.

7Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Difference for People

You get a real buzz from seeing someone go from struggling with a new system to confidently using it. You're motivated by knowing your communications helped clarify a confusing situation or your training plan helped someone feel ready.

When an employee thanks you for a clear email that actually explained the new expense system, or you see a positive comment in a survey about how well a change was managed.

Solving Complex Human Puzzles

You enjoy figuring out why people are resisting a change and then designing a clever way to address that specific concern. It's like being a detective for human behaviour in the workplace.

Analysing survey data and realising that resistance isn't about the new software, but about fear of job security, and then proposing a specific communication to address that.

Being the 'Go-To' for Clarity and Support

You like being the person people come to when they're confused or need help understanding a new initiative. You enjoy being the calm, helpful voice in a sea of change.

Project managers or business leads regularly asking for your input on how to phrase a difficult message, or employees reaching out to you directly with questions because they trust your answers.

What frustrates people
  • Being brought into a project a month before go-live and asked to 'do the change management part' after all major decisions have already been made, leaving you little room to influence.
  • Feeling like a 'glorified event planner' – spending too much time booking training rooms and sending calendar invites, rather than shaping the strategic approach to the human side of the change.
  • Being blamed when adoption is low, even if the new tool is buggy or the process is flawed. You're often the 'blame sponge' for things outside your control.
  • Having to constantly fight for metrics that show human impact (like adoption rates or proficiency scores) when project teams only care about system uptime and bug counts.
  • Being asked to put 'lipstick on a pig' – creating slick, upbeat communications for a change that is fundamentally detrimental or unpopular with employees.
What this role does not give you
  • A perfectly predictable, routine workday where nothing ever changes. That's just not how change management works.
  • Complete autonomy over strategic decisions. You're a key contributor, but you'll be working within a broader project and change framework.
  • A role where you only deal with data and don't have to engage with people's emotions. You'll be dealing with a lot of feelings, good and bad.

8Who you work with

Your work directly impacts how smoothly our business transformations go. If you do your job well, employees feel informed, supported, and ready for new ways of working. That means less disruption, quicker adoption of new tools and processes, and ultimately, a better return on our investment in change. If you don't, well, projects can fall flat, and we lose time and money. It's pretty fundamental, really.

Inside the business
  • Your Manager and the wider Change Management team
  • Project Managers and their teams (IT, Product, Operations)
  • HR Business Partners and the Learning & Development team
  • Internal Communications teams
  • Business Unit representatives – the people actually using the new stuff
Outside the business
  • External training providers (occasionally, for specific programmes)
  • Software vendors (when we're working on new tools)

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 role involving project support, internal communications, HR coordination, or a junior change management position, where you've had to juggle multiple tasks and deal with people.
  • A proven track record of delivering tasks reliably and on time, even when things get a bit chaotic.
  • Experience using project management tools (like Asana or Monday.com) and survey platforms (Qualtrics or SurveyMonkey) – you don't need to be an expert, but you should know your way around them.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; you should be able to write clearly and speak confidently to small groups.
  • A genuine curiosity about how organisations work and how people react to change. You're not just doing tasks; you're trying to understand the bigger picture.

10What to practise next

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

Advanced Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) Design

Our DAPs (like WalkMe or Whatfix) are becoming central to how we onboard users and support them through change. Moving beyond basic testing to actually designing and building these in-app guides will be crucial.

User Journey Mapping · Contextual Guidance Triggers · A/B Testing for DAP Content · DAP Analytics Interpretation

  • This week: Ask to sit in on a session where someone is designing or building a WalkMe flow.
  • This month: Take on a small task to update an existing WalkMe guide or create a simple pop-up message.
  • Month 2: Complete any internal training modules we have on our DAP, or find external tutorials.
  • Month 3: Propose and build a new, simple in-app guide for a common user query, then track its effectiveness.

Quick win: Offer to test new DAP content and provide detailed, constructive feedback on its clarity and usability.

Intermediate Power BI / Tableau Dashboard Creation

As you gather more data (survey results, training logs, adoption metrics), the ability to pull it all together into clear, insightful dashboards will become essential. You'll move from just consuming data to presenting it.

Connecting to Data Sources · Data Modelling (Basic) · Calculated Fields & Measures · Dashboard Layout & Design

  • This week: Spend an hour exploring the existing dashboards in Power BI/Tableau. Try to reverse-engineer how they were built.
  • This month: Find a free online tutorial series for Power BI or Tableau and work through the basics of connecting data and building simple charts.
  • Month 2: Try to recreate one of our simpler existing dashboards from scratch, using dummy data.
  • Month 3: Propose a new, simple dashboard to track a specific change metric, build it, and present it to your manager.

Quick win: Offer to take responsibility for refreshing and distributing an existing Power BI/Tableau report each week or month.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry webinars and conferences on change management, digital adoption, or organisational psychology. Stay curious about what's new out there.
  • Joining professional networks or communities of practice for change management professionals. It's a great way to learn from others and share experiences.
  • Taking online courses (Coursera, LinkedIn Learning) in areas like advanced Excel, data visualisation, or specific communication techniques. These skills are always useful.
  • Seeking out opportunities to mentor more junior colleagues or new joiners. Teaching others is a fantastic way to solidify your own understanding.
  • Reading relevant books and articles on human behaviour, leadership, and organisational change. Keep your brain fed with new ideas.

12The 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.

Advanced AI Prompt Engineering for Communications

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, a big chunk of change management work can feel a bit repetitive – drafting similar messages, sifting through survey comments, or trying to find that one piece of information. What if you could cut down on those tasks and spend more time on the truly impactful stuff, like understanding people's concerns or designing creative engagement tactics? That's where AI comes in.

We're not talking about AI replacing your job, far from it. We're talking about AI as your personal assistant, taking on the grunt work so you can focus on the human-centred, strategic parts of change. Imagine getting a first draft of an email in minutes, or having survey feedback summarised for you instantly. That's the reality with our AI productivity tools.

Comms First Draft Generator

Use a generative AI tool (like ChatGPT or Jasper), trained on our company's tone of voice and style guide, to create initial drafts of announcements, FAQs, and talking points for different stakeholder groups. You'll provide the key messages, and the AI will do the heavy lifting of writing, giving you a solid starting point to refine.

Sentiment Analysis Synthesiser

Feed open-ended feedback from your Qualtrics surveys and even chat channels (like Teams) into an AI tool. It'll instantly categorise comments, identify key themes, and flag high-risk sentiment, saving you hours of manual reading and coding. This means you get insights faster and can react quicker.

Change Strategy Research Assistant

Need to quickly understand best practices for a specific type of transformation, say, 'common resistance points for a Workday implementation in a manufacturing environment'? Use AI to summarise relevant case studies, research papers, and potential pitfalls, giving you a head start on your planning.

FAQ & Knowledge Base Builder

Point an AI tool at your project's core documentation – the project charter, design documents, process maps – and it can automatically generate a comprehensive and searchable FAQ list for your Confluence or SharePoint site. Imagine the time saved not having to manually compile all those questions and answers!
