We are seeking an experienced Change Manager to lead the design, planning and delivery of organisational change across a diverse portfolio of initiatives within the Project Management Office (PMO) for Berry Street Yooralla.

You will work broadly across the organisation supporting changes to operations, technology and client services to ensure new ways of working are effectively adopted and sustained. Partnering with Project Managers, senior leaders and service teams, you will drive people centered change and help uplift organisational change capability through practical frameworks, tools and guidance.

In this dynamic environment, you’ll bring initiative, resilience and a commitment to excellence, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement, strong delivery practice and shared accountability for successful change outcomes.

About the Role

Reporting to the Strategy Office, you will:

• Deliver effective change management across organisational projects, ensuring initiatives are well planned, supported and successfully adopted.

• Build strong relationships and collaborate with stakeholders at all levels to drive engagement and alignment.
• Support high quality governance through clear reporting, visibility of risks and continuous improvement of change processes.

This is not a technology project role, or a project management role. The work is organisationally focussed, practice led, people centred and delivery intensive.

• Approximately two days per week working from home
