Sentiment Measurement & Insight: Stand up and run colleague-sentiment and adoption measurement, including baseline and pulse tracking, turning insight into targeted intervention and giving leadership a clear read on how well change is landing. Stakeholder Management: Work across the integration team, Enabling Function and Service Line leads and acquired business leadership to align messaging, surface people risks and embed change ownership beyond the programme, coaching leaders and managers to act as effective change sponsors. Adoption & Continuous Improvement: Track adoption through to embedding, capturing lessons and continuously improving the change and adoption toolkit, templates and approach so that each successive integration lands more smoothly than the last. Skills and Experience: Proven experience leading change management and adoption on complex business change, ideally in a high growth or integration environment. Strong grounding in a recognised change methodology (e.g. Prosci/ADKAR or equivalent), applied pragmatically to live delivery. Demonstrable experience of communications, engagement and training/readiness planning across a colleague change journey. Experience designing and running colleague sentiment or adoption measurement and turning insight into action.
