About Us
At our organization, we are committed to pioneering a comprehensive, company-wide transformation aimed at fostering innovation, streamlining collaboration, and empowering our teams and leaders to reach their full potential. Our goal is to embed fast, confident, and sustainable value delivery into our organizational DNA, supporting our strategic ambition to be future-ready. Through this transformation journey, we emphasize transparency, continuous improvement, and psychological safety, breaking down silos to create a cohesive, collaborative workplace. By empowering decision-making at all levels and encouraging ownership across teams, we aim to cultivate a culture of decentralization, agility, and exponential innovation.
Context
Our transformation initiative focuses on uniting leadership and teams through shared values, synchronized practices, and a persistent focus on learning and adaptation. The program aims to equip both leaders and teams to thrive in complex environments by prioritizing outcomes over processes, empowering people at all levels, and fostering an environment of openness and trust. The Organizational Transformation Coach will be instrumental in driving this journey—building leadership capabilities, removing obstacles, engaging top executives, and activating real change across multiple business units or departments. This role encompasses a broad scope, impacting senior leadership and numerous teams simultaneously. We seek experienced leaders who have led similar large-scale transformations in organizations of comparable size and complexity.
Role Description
The Organizational Transformation Coach is a trusted senior advisor tasked with driving meaningful, practical change across all organizational levels—including C-suite executives, the Extended Leadership Team (ELT), and broader organizational groups. This role requires a results-oriented leader with extensive change management and transformation expertise, proven by tangible outcomes rather than theoretical knowledge.
You will collaborate closely with the Transformation Program team, Change Leads, and Agile Coaches to align strategic goals with team-level execution—effectively bridging the gap between senior leadership and operational realities. The environment is fast-paced, ambitious, and outcome-driven, necessitating comfort and expertise in engaging with C-level executives, senior VPs, and change agents to advance the transformation agenda consistent with the organization’s overarching vision.

• Change leadership: Develop comprehensive change management strategies, prioritizing real impact over adherence to specific frameworks, engaging stakeholders across the organization.
• Build trust with executives: Establish psychological safety and confidence with senior leadership, leveraging empathy, emotional intelligence, and prior experience in senior roles to foster strong relationships.
• Bridge senior and team perspectives: Understand team dynamics and executive pressures, translating visions into actionable insights that promote buy-in and collaboration across levels.
• Apply pragmatic frameworks: Utilize agile, lean, and systemic change principles flexibly, tailoring approaches to fit the organization’s unique context and current transformation efforts.
• Co-create strategic roadmaps: Partner with leadership to develop and refine transformation strategies, ensuring alignment between leadership actions and team initiatives aligned with business objectives.
