Are you the kind of Change Manager who thrives in complex Change Manager Enterprise Systems Transformations within corporate environments.
Are you someone that navigates ambiguity with confidence, and knows how to bring people with you through major transformations? If you’ve delivered change across large‑scale enterprise systems and want to make an impact in a global organisation, this could be your next move.
An absolute must is that you are FLUENT in Japanese.
About the Opportunity
We’re supporting a major corporate undergoing a transformation programme, modernising core enterprise platforms and embedding new ways of working across global teams. This is a high‑visibility role where you’ll shape how thousands of colleagues adopt new systems, processes, and behaviours.

Stakeholder engagement at all levels, from project teams to senior leadership
Impact assessments, readiness planning, and organisational alignment
Designing and delivering communication and training plans that drive adoption
Supporting business units through process change, system rollouts, and operational transition
Championing a culture of continuous improvement and user‑centric change
What You Bring
Proven experience as a Change Manager on large enterprise systems projects
Strong understanding of change frameworks and methodologies
Ability to translate technical change into clear, engaging messaging for diverse audiences
Confidence working in matrixed, global environments with multiple stakeholders
A proactive, structured, and people‑focused approach to driving adoption
Exceptional communication, facilitation, and relationship‑building skills
Why This Role Stands Out
Opportunity to influence a flagship transformation programme
Work with senior leaders and cross‑functional teams across the business
Join a forward‑thinking organisation investing heavily in digital and operational excellence
If you’re energised by complex change and want to help shape the future of a global organisation, we’d love to connect.
