• Develop and monitor change metrics, adoption measures, and post-implementation success indicators.
• Assess organizational dynamics and stakeholder concerns to proactively identify risks and opportunities.
• Support initiatives involving policy changes, governance processes, procurement modernization, risk management programs, legal operations, and enterprise business transformation.

• Experience applying formal change management methodologies such as PROSCI, ADKAR, Kotter, or similar frameworks.
• Experience leading change efforts related to Legal Operations, Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), Procurement, Policy Management, Compliance Programs, or Enterprise Transformation initiatives.
• Proven ability to influence executive leaders and stakeholders without direct authority.
• Experience conducting stakeholder analyses, change impact assessments, organizational readiness evaluations, and adoption planning.
• Strong facilitation, communication, critical thinking, and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to thrive in environments with evolving priorities, ambiguity, and limited structure.

Preferred Qualifications

• PROSCI Certification strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated success leveraging the ADKAR framework to drive organizational adoption and sustainment.
• Experience supporting Legal Operations, Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), Procurement Transformation, ERP, or enterprise-wide change programs.
• Familiarity with regulatory and compliance-driven environments.
• Experience implementing governance frameworks, policy changes, operating model transformations, or enterprise technology solutions.
• Experience building or scaling organizational change capabilities within an organization.

Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will bring a balance of strategic thinking and hands-on execution. They understand that sustainable transformation requires more than communications and training. They have demonstrated success utilizing methodologies such as PROSCI and ADKAR to guide stakeholder engagement, increase adoption, manage resistance, and achieve measurable business outcomes.

This individual is comfortable navigating ambiguity, building credibility quickly, facilitating difficult conversations, and partnering across Legal, Compliance, Procurement, Technology, and Business Operations functions to ensure organizational readiness and long-term success.
