Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Change Management Lead to drive the people, process, and organisational change agenda across complex business and technology transformation programmes within the telecommunications sector.
The role will be responsible for developing and executing an integrated change strategy that enables impacted teams to understand, adopt, and sustain new ways of working. The successful candidate will work closely with programme leadership, business stakeholders, technology teams, operational functions, communications, learning and development, and external delivery partners.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and own the end-to-end change management strategy and delivery plan aligned with programme objectives, milestones, and business outcomes.
- Conduct change impact assessments across people, processes, technology, organisation structures, roles, capabilities, and ways of working.
- Identify impacted stakeholder groups and develop targeted stakeholder engagement and communication plans.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with senior business leaders, programme sponsors, operational teams, technology functions, and delivery partners.
- Establish and manage a network of business change champions across impacted functions and locations.
- Assess organisational readiness and identify adoption risks, resistance points, capability gaps, and dependencies.
- Define clear change interventions to address identified impacts and support successful business adoption.
- Develop compelling change narratives that explain the purpose, benefits, impact, and expected outcomes of the transformation.
- Work with communications teams to create clear, audience-specific communications across appropriate channels.
- Partner with learning and development teams and subject-matter experts to define training needs, learning journeys, and knowledge-transfer plans.
- Ensure business teams are adequately prepared for solution releases, process changes, operating-model changes, and transition to business-as-usual operations.
- Integrate change activities with programme plans, release schedules, deployment roadmaps, and operational-readiness plans.
- Support leaders and line managers in communicating change, managing resistance, and reinforcing desired behaviours.
- Define adoption measures and track change effectiveness through readiness assessments, stakeholder sentiment, training completion, usage, compliance, and benefit-realisation indicators.
- Provide regular change status reporting, insights, risks, and recommendations to programme governance and senior leadership.
- Ensure change activities are sustainable and embedded beyond implementation through reinforcement, coaching, and post-deployment support.
- Promote consistent change management standards, governance, templates, and best practices across the programme.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
