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
Change Strategy & Approach Executes specific tasks within a defined strategy, e.g., drafts emails from template. Proposes adjustments to existing plans based on feedback, e.g., suggests a new survey question. Designs and owns end-to-end change plans for a significant workstream, e.g., develops the full training curriculum.
Budget Allocation (Change Specific) No authority. Flags potential cost overruns to supervisor. Manages small project budgets up to £5K for specific activities (e.g., printing materials). Manages workstream budgets up to £25K, makes recommendations for larger spend.
Stakeholder Engagement & Communication Distributes pre-approved communications to defined lists. Drafts communications for specific audiences, manages comms calendar. Develops comprehensive comms plans, advises project leads on messaging for complex changes.
Team Management & Development N/A Provides informal guidance to new joiners. Mentors 1-2 junior analysts, provides peer feedback.

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.

Change Adoption Rate
The percentage of target users actively using a new system or process as intended.
Target · Achieve >75% adoption within 90 days post-go-live for managed programmes.

For the new CRM rollout, 82% of sales reps were logging calls and updating opportunities in the new system within three months, compared to a target of 75%.

Resistance Mitigation Effectiveness
Reduction in identified resistance behaviours (e.g., helpdesk tickets for 'how-to' questions, negative sentiment in pulse surveys).
Target · Reduce resistance-related helpdesk tickets by 25% within 60 days of go-live.

After implementing targeted training and champion support, 'system navigation' tickets dropped from 150 to 90 per week in the first two months, exceeding the 25% reduction target.

Change Readiness Score
Overall score from pre-programme assessments measuring the organisation's preparedness for change.
Target · Improve average change readiness score by 15% across all impacted business units before major go-lives.

Before the HR system upgrade, the Finance team's readiness score moved from 6.2 to 7.5 (out of 10) after your team's targeted engagement, showing a 21% improvement.

Team Productivity & Quality
The efficiency and quality of your direct reports' deliverables (e.g., comms plans, training materials, survey analysis).
Target · Maintain a 'green' status on 90% of team deliverables in Asana, with <5% rework rate.

Your team consistently delivers comms drafts and training modules on schedule, with feedback from project leads typically positive and only minor tweaks needed, keeping rework below 3%.

Stakeholder Trust & Influence
Project and business leaders actively seek your counsel on people-related aspects of change, rather than just informing you.
  • You're routinely invited to strategic programme steering committees. Project Directors ask for your input on key decisions that impact people. Business leaders proactively reach out for advice on managing team resistance. Your recommendations are frequently adopted without significant pushback.
Team Development & Morale
Your direct reports feel supported, are growing in their careers, and contribute positively to the team culture.
  • Your team members consistently achieve their development goals. They speak positively about their experience in skip-level meetings. You see them taking on more complex tasks with confidence. They actively mentor newer team members. Retention within your team is consistently above the departmental average.
Proactive Problem Solving
You anticipate potential people-related issues in transformation programmes and propose solutions before they become crises.
  • You regularly flag potential resistance points or adoption blockers to programme leads weeks or months in advance. You present well-thought-out mitigation strategies that are often implemented. Programme retrospectives highlight your early identification of risks as a key success factor.
Strategic Alignment of Change Efforts
Your team's change plans are clearly linked to the overarching business objectives of each transformation programme.
  • Programme leads can articulate how your change strategy supports their business case. Your team's communication and training efforts consistently reinforce the 'why' behind the change, not just the 'how'. You can clearly demonstrate the connection between change activities and desired business outcomes in your reports.

7Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Seeing People Thrive Through Change

You'll spend time coaching your team on how to handle difficult conversations with resistant employees. You'll celebrate small wins where a business unit successfully adopts a new tool. You'll get a genuine kick out of seeing your team's efforts lead to positive feedback from end-users.

After a tough go-live, you'll feel a real sense of accomplishment when you see the positive sentiment in pulse surveys rise, knowing your team's work made a difference to thousands of colleagues.

Building & Developing a High-Performing Team

You'll dedicate significant time to one-on-ones, career discussions, and providing constructive feedback to your direct reports. You'll actively look for opportunities to stretch them, delegate challenging tasks, and champion their successes to senior leadership.

You'll feel proud when one of your analysts, whom you've mentored for two years, is promoted to a Senior Change Specialist role, knowing you helped them get there.

Solving Complex, Multi-faceted Organisational Puzzles

You'll be grappling with how to get 10,000 employees in 50 countries to adopt a new way of working. This means designing strategies that account for cultural differences, technical limitations, and varying levels of readiness. You'll love the challenge of piecing together all those moving parts.

You'll be energised by figuring out how to adapt a global communication strategy for a new system to resonate with both our European sales teams and our APAC manufacturing sites, ensuring everyone feels heard and supported.

What frustrates people
  • Being brought into a project late, after critical decisions have already been made, and then being asked to 'fix' the people issues.
  • Programme Directors underestimating the time and resources needed for effective change management, leading to rushed or compromised plans.
  • Seeing your well-crafted change plans derailed by last-minute executive decisions or technical glitches that weren't anticipated.
  • Dealing with the 'frozen middle'—middle managers who resist change and inadvertently undermine adoption efforts.
  • The constant emotional labour of managing resistance and anxiety across the organisation, sometimes without adequate support for yourself.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, routine work schedule – expect urgent requests and shifting priorities.
  • A role where you're solely focused on individual contribution – you're leading a team and accountable for their collective impact.
  • A project where everyone is excited about the change from day one – you'll be converting sceptics.
  • A quiet, solitary work environment – you'll be constantly interacting with people, often in high-pressure situations.

8Who you work with

This role directly influences the success rate of our most critical global transformation programmes. You'll ensure that the 'people' aspect of change is not an afterthought but a core component of every project. Your work significantly reduces resistance, accelerates adoption, and ultimately drives the return on investment for multi-million-pound initiatives. You're building a more adaptable and resilient organisation, one successful change at a time.

Inside the business
  • Programme Directors & Project Managers
  • Regional HR Business Partners
  • IT Leadership (CIO, Heads of Applications)
  • Global Communications & Internal Engagement Teams
  • Senior Business Leaders (e.g., Heads of Sales, Operations, Finance)
Outside the business
  • External Transformation Consultants
  • Key Technology Vendors (e.g., SAP, Workday account managers)
  • Industry Change Management Bodies

9What you need before you start

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

  • Extensive experience (10+ years) leading change management workstreams for complex, global projects.
  • Demonstrable experience managing and developing a team of change practitioners (minimum 3 years in a direct leadership role).
  • Proven ability to influence and advise senior executive stakeholders on change strategy and risk.
  • A deep, practical understanding of change management methodologies (e.g., Prosci ADKAR, Kotter) and how to adapt them.
  • Strong analytical skills to interpret change data (readiness, adoption, sentiment) and translate it into actionable insights.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of crafting executive-level narratives and compelling presentations.

10What to practise next

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

Integrated Digital Adoption Platforms (DAP) Strategy

DAPs like WalkMe are becoming central to embedding change directly into the user experience. You'll need to lead the strategic integration of these platforms across multiple systems and programmes, ensuring a seamless, guided experience for employees.

Cross-Application Guidance · AI-Driven Personalised Journeys · DAP Analytics for Change ROI

  • This quarter: Work with our existing DAP specialists to understand their roadmap and current capabilities.
  • Next 6 months: Lead a review of how DAPs are currently used in your programmes and identify opportunities for deeper integration.
  • Next 9 months: Develop a strategic proposal for how DAPs could be better used to support a future major transformation, focusing on measurable outcomes.
  • Next 12 months: Present your DAP strategy to IT and business leadership, advocating for its role in our overall change approach.

Quick win: Challenge your team to identify one new, impactful use case for our existing DAP within their current projects.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attending industry conferences (e.g., ACMP Global Conference, Prosci Conference) to stay current on trends and network with peers.
  • Subscribing to leading change management journals and publications to keep your knowledge sharp.
  • Actively participating in online communities or forums dedicated to change management leadership.
  • Seeking out mentorship from senior leaders within our organisation or external experts in transformation.
  • Taking on stretch assignments that push you outside your comfort zone and expose you to new types of change challenges.

AI-Driven Change Strategy & Personalisation

AI is already transforming how we analyse data, generate content, and even predict human behaviour. As a manager, you'll need to harness these capabilities to design more targeted, personalised, and efficient change interventions. Your competitors will be doing this, so you need to too.

  • Predictive Analytics for Resistance
  • Generative AI for Tailored Communications
  • AI-Powered Digital Adoption Platforms
  • Ethical AI in Change Management

Adaptive & Agile Change Leadership

  • Minimum Viable Change (MVC)
  • Change Sprints
  • Continuous Feedback Loops
  • Psychological Safety in Agile Change

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, as a manager, your plate is always full. You're juggling team development, strategic planning, and firefighting across multiple programmes. What if you could reclaim a significant chunk of your week to focus on what truly matters: your people and the big picture? AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to give you superpowers.

For a Global Change Management Assistant Manager, AI is a game-changer. It helps you move from being constantly 'in the weeds' to having the headspace to lead strategically. Think about automating the mundane, getting instant insights from mountains of data, and even accelerating your team's output. It's about working smarter, not just harder.

Strategic Comms & Messaging Drafts

Use generative AI to draft initial versions of executive summaries, sensitive communications to resistant groups, or even performance review feedback for your team. Train it on your company's tone of voice and leadership principles to get a head start, allowing you to focus on the nuance and empathy.

Cross-Programme Sentiment & Risk Aggregator

Feed AI tools with pulse survey data, internal chat logs (Teams/Slack), and helpdesk tickets from across your portfolio. Get instant, aggregated insights on overall sentiment, identify emerging resistance patterns, and flag high-risk areas before they escalate. No more manual data crunching.

Team Coaching & Development Assistant

Use AI to generate personalised development plans for your team members based on their goals and performance data. It can also suggest coaching questions for specific scenarios or help you structure difficult conversations, ensuring you're always providing impactful support.

Global Change Impact & Readiness Synthesis

Input change impact assessment data from various regions and business units into an AI tool. It can quickly identify commonalities, highlight unique regional challenges, and propose tailored strategies for different cultural contexts, saving you hours of manual analysis.
