Program Manager, Change Management

Role overview

This opportunity is for a Program Manager with a strong change management focus, supporting a global company known for software used in architecture, engineering, and entertainment. The role combines change leadership with program management, with emphasis on guiding adoption, coordinating governance, and giving senior stakeholders clear visibility into progress and decisions.

Key responsibilities

• Assess how proposed changes affect people, teams, and workflows, then translate those findings into practical adoption plans that support the wider business direction.
• Oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of programs, including defining scope, maintaining schedules, tracking milestones, managing dependencies, addressing risks, and measuring outcomes.
• Identify potential issues early and develop sensible mitigation approaches rather than only escalating concerns.
• Create concise, executive-level updates that clearly summarize status, risks, and recommended next steps.
• Build alignment across stakeholders, earn trust, and move initiatives forward even when there is no direct reporting authority.

Experience and qualifications

• At least 8 years of combined experience in change management and program management, preferably within customer success or professional services.
• Strong working knowledge of change management methods, including impact assessment, stakeholder analysis, readiness planning, and adoption planning, with familiarity with approaches such as Prosci or Kotter.
• Experience working with senior leadership teams, including preparing decision materials, guiding discussions, and supporting executive decisions.
• Ability to work effectively in uncertain environments and balance detailed execution with broader strategic thinking.

Contract details
