Role Overview
As an Enterprise Change Management Lead, EPMO, you will help leaders and teams move from strategy to adoption by defining and driving change strategy for large-scale transformations.

The Enterprise Change Management Lead partners with business stakeholders, program and project managers, HR, communications, training, technology, and other enterprise partners to bring the voice of the business into planning and governance.

Assess who is impacted, what will change, where adoption risks exist, and what leaders and teams need to be ready.
Develop and execute practical change strategies, stakeholder engagement plans, readiness approaches, resistance management plans, and sustainment plans.
Consult on lower-impact initiatives by tailoring change support to the size, complexity, stakeholder impact, and adoption risk of the change.
Bring the people side of change into initiative planning, governance routines, change risk management, and executive decision-making.
Adoption, Readiness & Sustainment
Help leaders and impacted teams understand why the change matters, what will be different, how they will be supported, and how success will be measured.

Change Metrics & Value Realization
Create change reporting that gives leaders clear visibility into adoption, readiness, resistance, sustainment, and expected benefits.
Define and track practical measures of adoption, readiness, engagement, training, and value realization.
Surface adoption risks, barriers, and decision needs early so leaders can act before outcomes are compromised.
Business Outcomes & Benefits
Partner with business sponsors and delivery leaders to connect change activities to business outcomes, value drivers, and expected benefits.
Help define measurable adoption and business outcome indicators that show whether the organization is realizing value from the change.
Provide insight into adoption or readiness gaps that may create risk to business outcomes, operational performance, customer experience, or expected benefits.
Partnership, Influence & Advisory Support
Serve as a trusted change advisor to business, technology, HR, communications, training, finance, risk, and delivery leaders.
Shape executive discussions by translating stakeholder impacts, adoption risks, readiness insights, and business implications into clear options and recommendations.
Serve as a liaison between leadership, business stakeholders, and initiative teams to ensure change priorities, adoption needs, and business outcomes remain aligned.
Coach and mentor project managers, project leaders, business partners, and team members on change management best practices, helping build broader organizational understanding and consistent application of the discipline across initiatives.
Represent the EPMO in enterprise forums, steering committees, and governance bodies as the voice for adoption, readiness, and realized value.
