• Develop risk mitigation strategies for managing change resistance.

Stakeholder Engagement & Communication

• Collaborate with business leaders, project sponsors, and end-users to understand concerns and expectations.
• Create compelling messaging and materials for different audience levels.
• Facilitate stakeholder meetings, workshops, and feedback sessions.
• Ensure transparent, consistent, and timely communication throughout the project lifecycle.

Training & User Readiness

• Develop training programs, job aids, and onboarding materials for impacted teams.
• Conduct training sessions, webinars, or town halls to support change adoption.
• Measure training effectiveness and iterate based on user feedback.

Change Impact & Adoption Measurement

• Define and track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for change adoption.
• Conduct post-implementation assessments to identify gaps and areas for reinforcement.
• Provide reporting and insights to leadership on adoption levels and resistance points.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in Change Management, Organizational Development, or a related field.
• Experience leading change efforts on large-scale, cross-functional projects.
• Familiarity with structured Change Management frameworks (e.g., Prosci, ADKAR, Kotter).
• Strong facilitation, coaching, and training skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to build relationships and influence stakeholders at all levels.
• Experience working in a regulated environment (finance, banking, or government preferred).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prosci Change Management Certification or similar credential.
• Experience supporting Agile, Waterfall, and Hybrid delivery models.
• Understanding of enterprise-level project governance, RACI models, and compliance requirements.
• Prior experience working with FHLBanks or financial institutions.
• Familiarity with ServiceNow PPM or similar project portfolio management tools.
