- Partner with Corporate Communications, HR, Operations, Integration Teams, and IT to ensure messaging is consistent, timely, and on brand for Michael Baker.
- Translate complex integration topics into clear, audience-appropriate language.
Training & Enablement

- Coordinate train-the-trainer sessions and support change champion networks.
Adoption Measurement
- Recommend course corrections based on data and qualitative feedback.
What You Need to Succeed:

- Proven ability to develop change strategies, stakeholder plans, communications, and training materials end to end.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to draft executive-level content.
- Comfort working independently in ambiguous environments while maintaining tight alignment with the Change Enablement Lead.
Bonus If You Have:
