We’re looking for a Senior Change & Engagement Advisor to embed a pragmatic, repeatable approach to change that supports BAU operations today and future enhancements tomorrow.

This role is ideal for a senior change professional who enjoys working at the intersection of digital delivery, operations and stakeholder engagement — translating system change into real‑world impact.

What you’ll be doing
You’ll provide senior change and engagement leadership within a complex, multi‑agency environment, with a strong focus on BAU sustainability.
Key responsibilities include:
Change Frameworks & Standards
  • Designing and implementing a practical Change & Engagement Framework to support BAU and ongoing enhancements
  • Creating a repeatable change intake and triage process to improve visibility and prioritisation
  • Developing a standard Change Impact Assessment template to consistently articulate operational impacts
BAU Enablement
  • Producing a BAU Change Playbook that:
    • Defines end‑to‑end change processes
    • Clarifies roles and responsibilities
    • Supports consistent people, operational and technical change post‑transition
Impact & Translation
  • Working closely with digital delivery teams to translate enhancements into:
    • Operational impacts
    • People and capability implications
    • Engagement and readiness needs
  • Clearly identifying and articulating impacts to support decision‑making and governance
Artefacts & Guidance
  • Providing change artefacts, tools and guidance suitable for ongoing BAU use
  • Ensuring change practices are practical, scalable and embedded into day‑to‑day delivery
What we’re looking for
You’re a seasoned change professional who brings structure without rigidity.
You’ll likely have:
  • Strong experience in change management, engagement or adoption roles, ideally in complex or regulated environments
  • Proven ability to design and embed repeatable change frameworks and tools
  • Experience working alongside digital delivery and operational teams
  • Confidence engaging senior stakeholders and cross‑agency groups
  • A pragmatic, outcomes‑focused mindset — enabling change rather than slowing it down
Why this role stands out
  • Work on a nationally significant system
  • Shape how change is managed in BAU, not just during delivery
  • High‑impact role with tangible, lasting outcomes
  • Senior advisory position with autonomy and influence
  • Collaborative environment with experienced digital, operational and policy professionals
