• You’ll develop practical change management strategies, implementation plans, surveys, and assessments
• You’ll design and execute stakeholder engagement activities across diverse internal audiences
• You’ll personally create communications, presentations, training materials, surveys, and other change artifacts
• You’ll partner with senior leaders to shape strategy while translating that strategy into actionable deliverables
• You’ll measure adoption and help stakeholders confidently articulate the impact of completed improvements

Skills and Qualifications
• 5+ years of progressive change management experience, ideally within complex, stakeholder-rich environments
• Full professional fluency in English and French, with advanced written and verbal communication skills in both languages
• Demonstrated experience independently leading end-to-end change management engagements
• Strong hands-on capability developing communications, presentations, surveys, assessments, training materials, and engagement activities
