Develop and Implement Change Communication Plans
The Communications Change Manager is responsible for developing and implementing change communication strategies that support organizational initiatives such as acquisitions, integrations, system implementations, and cultural transformation. This includes designing and executing communication plans that clearly articulate objectives and impacts, creating messaging frameworks and timelines, and establishing feedback loops to ensure clarity and alignment.

Collaborate with HR and Project Leads to Enable and Embed Change
The role works closely with HR, project leads, and business stakeholders to ensure communication is integrated into change activities and supports the embedment of change. Rather than leading change management, the Communications Change Manager provides guidance and influences decisions on stakeholder engagement, leadership messaging, and communication sequencing to minimize disruption. The role helps embed change by reinforcing desired behaviors, promoting adoption through clear “what/why/when/how” messaging, aligning leader toolkits and talking points, and coordinating post‑go‑live follow‑ups (e.g., pulse checks, reinforcement messages, and recognition of early wins) to sustain the change over time.
Lead Internal Communications for Change and Transformation
The Communications Change Manager develops internal communication materials that enable understanding and readiness for change. This includes preparing leadership updates, FAQs, toolkits, and employee resources that explain what is changing and why. The role also facilitates two‑way communication channels to capture employee sentiment and address concerns proactively, ensuring employees feel informed and supported throughout the process.
Support Media Monitoring, Reputation and Risk Management
Provide communication support for external communications and reputation management through media relations, digital channels, and crisis communication planning, ensuring alignment with global standards.
