Change Analyst - Manchester (Hybrid)
The Role
We are seeking a Change Analyst to support the successful delivery of organisational and project-led change. This role is firmly focused on change analysis and impact assessment, helping the organisation understand how change affects people, processes, roles, and systems - and ensuring those impacts are clearly articulated and addressed.
Working closely with Project Managers, Product Teams, Business Analysts, and operational stakeholders, you will act as the bridge between proposed change and real-world adoption. This is not a Business Change Manager role; instead, it is a hands-on analytical role concentrating on understanding, assessing, and evidencing change impacts to enable effective decision-making and delivery.
The role is Manchester-based, with a hybrid working model.
Key Responsibilities
Change Analysis & Impact Assessment
- Analyse proposed business and technology changes to understand impacts on processes, roles, systems, and behaviours
- Produce clear, structured change impact assessments and change readiness outputs
- Identify business risks, adoption barriers, and areas of resistance, escalating where appropriate
- Support data-driven decision-making by clearly evidencing the implications of change
Stakeholder Engagement & Insight Gathering
- Facilitate and support workshops, interviews, and working sessions to gather insight on impacts and readiness
- Engage with stakeholders across multiple business areas to understand concerns, dependencies, and constraints
- Build trusted relationships that support honest feedback and informed change decisions
