Change Manager

Aurora is seeking a proactive and highly capable Change Manager to lead the business‑wide adoption of our enterprise transformation programme. This role is central to ensuring that the significant process, system, and organisational changes introduced through our lead‑to‑cash, CRM, ERP, and data modernisation workstreams are effectively understood, embraced, and embedded across the business.

The Change Manager will work closely with the Programme Manager, senior leaders, business units, and technical teams to develop and execute a clear and comprehensive change strategy. You will take ownership of all change‑related communications, change impact assessments, stakeholder engagement plans, training strategies, and adoption measures. You will also represent technology and system‑driven changes at governance forums, including Change Advisory Boards (CAB), ensuring alignment between technical decisions and business readiness.

This is a high‑visibility, business‑facing role offering the opportunity to shape how Aurora evolves and scales. You will help to embed new ways of working, improve cross‑functional consistency, and support teams globally through major process and system transformation. Your work will directly influence the success of one of Aurora’s most strategic programmes.

We are looking for someone who has a high attention to detail and can hit the ground running. This is a chance to have a significant impact on an organisation where individuals thrive on change and to work within an innovative and growing SME.

• Work with subject matter experts to deliver role‑specific or team‑specific training where required.
• Track adoption metrics and feedback to help identify areas needing reinforcement or additional support.
• Represent the business impact of system and process changes at Change Advisory Boards (CAB) and other governance forums, advocating for appropriate sequencing, risk mitigation, and readiness.
• Ensure all technical and functional changes are accompanied by clear communication, training plans, and stakeholder alignment.
• Support the Programme Manager in preparing operational readiness documentation and transition‑to‑BAU plans.
• Partner with teams across regions to ensure they are prepared for upcoming changes and understand the value of new processes and systems.
• Identify resistance, risks, or barriers to adoption early and develop mitigation strategies.
• Collect feedback from impacted teams and incorporate learnings to continuously improve change approaches throughout the programme lifecycle.

• Experience delivering business‑wide change management within technology enabled transformation programmes.
• Strong capability in developing structured change management artefacts such as impact assessments, communication plans, training strategies, and readiness checklists.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical or complex concepts into clear, business‑friendly language.
• Confident working with senior stakeholders and facilitating cross‑functional engagement.
• Proven ability to work independently, manage multiple streams of work, and meet deadlines in a fast‑paced environment.
• High level of organisation, attention to detail, and ownership of deliverables.
• Positive, proactive, and adaptable mindset with a strong focus on people‑centred change.
