Change Director

Due to the continued success and growth of Seven Consulting, we built a Change Management Practice in 2023 to complement our Program Delivery, Program Management Office (PMO) and Consulting services.

We're delighted to grow our Practice in Sydney, Melbourne and Manila.

Established in 2002, Seven Consulting is Australia's best program delivery company. Our results show client satisfaction at 98.69% and team satisfaction at 98.60%, and those figures continue to hold firm.

We specialise in the successful delivery of large-scale, complex IT-enabled business transformation projects ranging from $1M to $1.4Bn with some of Australia's top companies. We have offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Manila.

We are looking for one experienced, talented Change Director, who is at the top of the market, to join our team on a full-time permanent basis. Our Change Director role is a 'hands on' role – meaning that it has a client delivery focus (as opposed to a general management focus).

The following points provide an overview of expectations for the role, noted that there will be a degree of flexibility in the role based on capacity from billable work.

• Improvement - Identify and deliver improvements to the Change Management Practice

Client-facing responsibilities:

As a Change Director, you will work directly with our program sponsors and clients in hands-on roles across all areas of Change Management to deliver high quality outcomes. Each engagement is different, but typically a Change Director is expected to be able design, lead and deliver Change Management services on a complex program or portfolio with responsibilities that include:

• Undertaking a discovery process to analyse change drivers and identify enterprise-level or industry themes

• Undertaking advisory services, which typically include a review, analysis and recommendation of an ePMO or Change Management function

• Executing on multi-year plans while reporting on progress, raising risks and issues, maintaining effective relationships, and being a supportive project team member
• Evaluating and measuring the success of change interventions across activity, proficiency, usage and adoption
• Applying Project Management principles as well as Agile, Waterfall and hybrid methods
• Providing the needed level of support to the recipients of change as well as business leaders and sponsors during and after the project
• Mentoring and motivating Change Management practitioners who are more junior in the team
• Contributing thought leadership (articles, speaking at conferences, webinars) to our Practice and the field

What You Bring
