Change & Adoption Manager

The Change & Adoption Manager is a senior role within the Connected Technology Group (CTG), responsible for leading strategic, end‑to‑end change management across CTG’s transformation agenda. This includes technology uplift, security and platform modernisation, AI adoption and workflow embedding, development of local tools and accelerators, and the localisation of global solutions, as well as supporting the change and adoption activities required for large‑scale, technology‑enabled enterprise transformation programs.

The role’s primary focus is ensuring CTG initiatives land effectively across the business by driving organisational readiness, adoption, behavioural change and stakeholder alignment.

You will join a team of Change & Adoption Managers supporting CTG priorities across key domains and initiatives. These may include (but are not limited to) AI adoption (e.g., AI/DFTE uplift, embedding AI into day‑to‑day workflows and ways of working, and sustained usage and value realisation), data platform and governance uplift, cyber and risk control uplift, and core IT and service experience improvements (e.g., workplace technology). Work allocation and focus areas will flex based on demand, resourcing and priorities.
