Organizational Change Manager – Transformation & Adoption

The Change Manager plays a key role in supporting CA’s transformation initiatives and mission to be an agile, change fit organization. This role focuses on the people side of change, including changes to business processes, systems and technology, job roles and organization structures.

This position emphasizes employee adoption, stakeholder engagement, communications, and training to ensure business outcomes are achieved. Note that this role is distinct from IT service change management (e.g., ITIL processes, ServiceNow change tickets, change board reviews). Candidates with experience primarily in IT change governance may not be a fit.

• Craft and adapt change management strategies responsive to project timelines, organizational rhythms, and stakeholder needs.
• Develop implementation plans defining key activities, milestones, roles, and responsibilities.
• Own the design, development, and delivery of communications, training, and engagement activities.
• Coordinate and facilitate focus groups, change networks, and awareness sessions to drive end-user involvement and adoption.
• Manage Change Management workstream meetings and resources; mentor Specialists as needed.
• Identify and mitigate risks such as resistance, low engagement, or adoption barriers.
• Serve as the “voice of change,” presenting key adoption information to executive-level stakeholders.
• Partner with the CAMP Change Management team to continuously improve our framework and approach.
