  • Use data, observations, stakeholder feedback, and lessons learned to track progress, surface risks, recommend adjustments, and continuously improve delivery practices, change adoption, and business outcomes. 

  • Assess initiatives' change needs by identifying adoption risks, evaluating organizational readiness, and developing practical plans that support user readiness, sustained behavior change, and long-term adoption. 

  • Support the design and execution of change activities, including communications, training, stakeholder engagement, and resistance management, while building confidence, capability, and ownership within teams to sustain change beyond implementation.

  • Experience in finance, operations, entertainment, or corporate functions is a plus. 

  • Agile or change management certifications are preferred but not required. 

Preferred Capabilities 

  • Comfortable presenting to managers and leaders, synthesizing complex information into clear insights, and supporting decisions with sound analysis, thoughtful recommendations, and business judgment.
