Project Change Specialist

You want to play a part in making NSW a better place to work, live and travel. 

This is your opportunity to broaden your experience and perspectives, step out of the confines of a standard project role and expand your scope to work with an interconnected ecosystem of industry professionals.  

In this role, you'll: 

Lead the planning, delivery and evaluation of change initiatives that support significant transformation programs and projects across the Finance, Technology and Commercial (FTC) division. You will drive business readiness and adoption by identifying and managing impacts across people, processes, systems and customer outcomes, ensuring change is successfully embedded into business operations. 

You will work closely with project teams, business leaders and subject matter experts to understand change impacts, identify risks and implement practical change strategies that support successful transitions while minimising operational disruption.  

You will translate change approaches into clear and actionable plans, delivering stakeholder engagement, readiness, communication and adoption activities that build commitment and confidence throughout the change journey.  

A key aspect of the role is influencing outcomes through collaboration. You will build strong relationships across diverse stakeholder groups, facilitate workshops and engagement forums, and provide trusted advice on change management methodologies, frameworks and tools.  

Operating within Transport's Enterprise Change Management Service Model, you will contribute to the ongoing maturity of change capability by sharing lessons learned, identifying improvement opportunities and supporting capability uplift through the Enterprise Change Centre of Excellence and Change Resource Hub.  

You will monitor and report on change progress, risks and outcomes, using feedback and insights to continuously improve the effectiveness of change activities and project outcomes.
