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 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).

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.
