- Build and support a global network of change champions and super-users.
- Provide senior stakeholders with clear updates, recommendations and insight on change readiness and business impact.

- Comfort working with data, feedback and insight to inform decisions and demonstrate impact.
- A proactive, collaborative and curious approach, with openness to learning new digital and AI-enabled tools.

Inclusion
Freshfields is an equal opportunities employer and all applications received by the firm will be considered by the firm on the basis of their merit alone and we welcome applications from all suitably qualified individuals regardless of background. All offers of employment will be conditional on the candidate having/securing the right to work in the UK and providing the firm with evidence of that right (as required by the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006) prior to employment commencing.
Freshfields is a Ban the Box employer. We ask applicants to disclose criminal convictions only when a conditional job offer is made. A conviction does not automatically lead to withdrawal of the offer: we make decisions on a case by case basis and take a number of factors into account (eg the role you are applying for and the circumstances of the offence). You would have the opportunity to discuss the matter with us before we make a decision.
