- Develop user-facing communication and readiness content for technology-driven changes
- Maintain the forward schedule of change (FSC) and monitor for conflicts across concurrent client engagements
- Conduct post-implementation reviews (PIRs) and document lessons learned
- Integrate change management practices into Agile, DevOps, or ITSM delivery frameworks as appropriate
- Identify patterns in failed or rolled-back changes and drive process improvement
QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree preferred — equivalent experience in IT change management or ITSM is welcome
- 3–6 years of experience in IT change management, ITSM, or technology delivery within consulting or enterprise environments
- Familiarity with CAB processes, ITIL change frameworks, and ITSM platforms — ServiceNow experience strongly preferred
- Knowledge of cybersecurity tooling (IAM, TVM, Network Security) and how changes in these areas affect business operations
- Experience with OCM principles or change readiness activities strongly preferred
