About the Role

We're looking for a Change and Adoption Manager to lead the change management of our global programme across the Tesco Group. This role is at the heart of our 3+ year programme to transform our end-to-end Property operating model towards an Asset Lifecycle approach.

Conducting change impact assessments, managing people risks and issues and audience capacity. Assessing the readiness for change of all stakeholders and impacted audiences, advising on activities to embed the change within the business.

Stakeholder Management
  • Identify, manage and communicate effectively with a diverse group of partners (e.g., senior leaders, managers, SMEs) throughout the project lifecycle to develop change strategies, assess readiness for change, anticipate and remove blockers, and prepare effective business areas for the transition to new ways of working. Able to show empathy, listen actively and express ideas and facts in a clear and confident manner both verbally and non-verbally. This includes reporting, presentation skills, meeting management and facilitation.

Continuous Improvement
  • Improve ways of working and Change and Adoption practice in Property.

You Will Need
  • Proven experience leading, defining and delivering change and engagement strategies for operating model change (ideally at a global scale across a large organisation)
  • Ability to work autonomously, a self-starter
  • Experience of working in a 'set up' environment and the ability to deal with ambiguity as processes, standards and governance change
