Change Enablement Specialist

Must have full Australian Working Rights and based in Adelaide, SA. No Sponsorships available.

About The Role

A leading South Australian education provider is seeking an experienced, high-level Change Resource to establish the strategic change foundations for a major technology modernisation program. Based at Regency Park, this is an initial contract through to October 2026 with the possibility of extension.

• Assess organisational culture, leadership sponsorship, and capacity to absorb transformation
• Review lessons learned from previous change initiatives and translate into practical guidance
• Conduct a capability-based Change Impact Assessment across People, Data, and Technology dimensions

Stakeholder Engagement

• Identify and categorise key internal and external stakeholder groups
• Design a pre-vendor communication strategy focused on setting clear expectations
• Establish feedback mechanisms including surveys, focus groups, and targeted playbacks

Skills And Experience

• Proven experience leading change management on complex, enterprise-wide technology transformation programs
• Strong capability in organisational readiness assessments, stakeholder engagement, and impact analysis
• Sound understanding of out-of-the-box SaaS implementation principles and standardisation-led change
• Experience working within program and portfolio governance structures
• Ability to produce clear, evidence-based, executive-ready deliverables
• Background in public sector or education environments advantageous but not essential
