About the role

Imagineeer is seeking a Change Management Lead to own organizational change management on an acquisition transformation engagement for a federal civilian department. Change management is a contract requirement from day one, not an add-on at implementation.

You will own the change methodology, co-author the Integrated Change Management, Training, and Configuration Management Plan within 20 business days of award, and own the adoption and change checkpoint in the firm's decision methodology: will the workforce adopt the change, and what will it require of them?

Key Responsibilities: 

• Own and apply a structured, recognized change management methodology covering stakeholder analysis, change impact and readiness assessment, communications planning, leadership and change-champion engagement, resistance management, and adoption measurement, beginning with the current-state assessment.
• Co-author and maintain the Integrated Change Management, Training, and Configuration Management Plan, updating it with the Study Report and the Implementation Plan.
• Conduct stakeholder interviews and workflow mapping with the Policy and Business Process Lead during the current-state assessment.
• Lead the stakeholder analysis and change readiness assessment for acquisition staff, program office customers, approvers, and system administrators.
• Document the workforce, role, and process impacts of eliminating, consolidating, or retaining each capability.
• Onboard pilot participants, engage change champions, and establish feedback mechanisms with the Change Management Analyst.
• Capture adoption measures for biweekly status reports and pilot performance reports, and report change management status in every status report.
• Deliver change management materials and adoption metrics during implementation and supervise the Change Management Analyst.
• Define change reinforcement for newly onboarded users as tools scale across the organization, for inclusion in the Continuation Roadmap. 

Qualifications and Skills: 

• Bachelor's degree in organizational development, business, communications, or a related field.
• 10 or more years of organizational change management experience, including leading change on at least two enterprise technology or process implementations.
• Certification in a recognized change methodology, such as Prosci Certified Change Practitioner or ACMP Certified Change Management Professional (CCMP).
• Experience conducting readiness assessments, stakeholder analyses, and change impact assessments and turning them into actionable plans.
• Experience defining and reporting adoption metrics to senior leadership.
• Ability to pass the client's contractor security vetting and obtain and maintain a Public Trust credential.

Desired Skills and Competencies: 
•      Experience leading change in federal agencies, ideally in acquisition, finance, or other operations functions.

•      Experience supporting technology pilots and phased rollouts where adoption data informs go/no-go decisions.

•      Master's degree in organizational development or a related field.
