About the role:

We’re looking for a strategic and hands-on Senior Change Management Advisor to help shape how change happens at Unitywater.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in designing and delivering inclusive, people-focused change that supports our transformation journey and empowers our teams to adopt new ways of working.

You’ll guide a wide range of initiatives, from large-scale transformation to smaller tactical changes, ensuring the experience of change is positive and impactful for everyone. You’ll lead the design and delivery of change approaches that are practical, human, and grounded in real business needs.

As a senior member of the Transformation and Change Office, you’ll have a unique opportunity to establish a fit-for-purpose internal change practice from the ground up — one that strengthens our culture, accelerates adoption, and puts people at the centre of everything we do.
