The Role Unveiled

The Change Implementation Manager is a pivotal role responsible for planning, managing, and delivering structured change across mid-sized projects, new client implementations, and material variations to existing contracts. This person ensures that transitions are smooth, risks are managed, and all stakeholders — internal and client-side — are aligned and confident throughout the change journey.

This role is suited to someone who combines strong project discipline with excellent people and communication skills, and who thrives in environments where no two changes are the same.

Your Role in Action

Change Planning Governance

Own and maintain a change register across all active projects and implementations
Develop change management plans, impact assessments, and risk logs for each change
Define change scope, timelines, resource requirements, and success criteria
Ensure governance checkpoints are met and changes are formally approved before proceeding
Apply appropriate change frameworks (e.g. PROSCI ADKAR, or equivalent) scaled to project size

Client Implementations Contract Variations

Lead end-to-end delivery of new client onboarding where the scope differs materially from existing service designs
Manage contract variation changes from initiation through to business-as-usual handover
Act as the primary point of contact for clients during the change period, managing expectations and communications
Coordinate cross-functional teams (operations, IT, finance, HR) to deliver implementation milestones
Produce client-facing implementation plans, progress reports, and post-go-live reviews

Stakeholder Engagement

Identify all internal and external stakeholders affected by each change and develop tailored engagement plans
Facilitate workshops and briefings to build understanding and buy-in
Manage upward reporting to senior leadership and board sponsors where required
Act as a bridge between operational teams and commercial/account management functions

Risk Issue Management

Proactively identify change risks and develop mitigation strategies
Escalate blockers and issues promptly with proposed solutions
Maintain a RAID log (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) for all active changes
Conduct post-implementation reviews and capture lessons learned

Continuous Improvement

Develop and maintain a standard change management toolkit, templates, and playbooks
Drive improvements to how change is managed across the business based on lessons learned
Coach and upskill colleagues in change management best practice

The Perfect Match: Your Skills Talents

Essential

Demonstrable experience managing business change in a client-facing or B2B services environment
Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent changes
Experience managing client implementations or service transitions
Excellent written and verbal communication, including ability to produce clear plans and reports
Comfortable working with ambiguity and adapting to changing priorities
Strong stakeholder management skills at all levels, including client-side contacts
Proficient in Microsoft Office (particularly Excel, Word, PowerPoint)

Desirable

Formal change management qualification (e.g. PROSCI, CMI, or equivalent)
Project management qualification (e.g. PRINCE2, APM PMQ, or Agile equivalent)
Experience in Language Services, facilities management / technology services / outsourcing
Familiarity with CRM or project management tools (e.g. Monday.com, Asana, Salesforce)
Experience working in a mid-sized business or SME environment
