Senior Change Manager
Profession: Executive
Industry: Government, Public Sector, Utilities, Commercial
Location: QLD
Salary: Open to Permanent or Day Rate Contracts
Availability: Immediate start
This candidate is a senior change and organisational transformation leader with over two decades of experience delivering complex, high-impact change across government, commercial and regulated sectors. They bring a uniquely well-rounded blend of enterprise change strategy, stakeholder engagement, organisational design, employee experience uplift, and industrial relations capability — making them ideally suited to lead high-stakes transformation where people, process and technology intersect.
Their portfolio includes redesigning operating models, leading EBA negotiations, delivering large-scale digital transformation, and executing structured governance, risk, and assurance frameworks. They have led major reform initiatives involving thousands of staff, often under industrial scrutiny or political sensitivity, and consistently demonstrate the ability to earn trust across sponsors, unions, and delivery teams.
Key strengths include:
Deep organisational architecture and workforce planning expertise, underpinned by capability mapping and classification design
End-to-end change strategy using evidence-based methods (Prosci, Kotter, accelerated change), with a strong focus on behavioural insight and adoption
Proven industrial relations acumen, including successful enterprise bargaining negotiations across government and post-merger settings
Experience in uplifting employee experience (EVP) during restructures, redeployment, and workforce transformation
Structured program assurance and governance experience, including Gateway Reviews and Audit & Risk Committee reporting
Exceptional communication and engagement skills, enabling sponsor alignment, frontline trust, and leadership visibility
Leadership of cross-functional teams across HR, operations, PMO, L&D, and IT in both centralised and dispersed environments
This candidate excels in environments where strategy and hands-on delivery are equally important. They work effectively without authority, influence through transparency and behavioural insight, and bring a calm, structured presence to high-pressure transformation programs. Their ability to manage change fatigue, stakeholder misalignment, and industrial risk makes them a standout candidate for senior leadership roles where complex, people-centred change is a strategic priority.
