About the role

At Bournemouth University, we believe that to learn is to change. The BU2035 Delivery Team exists to help the University move confidently from strategic ambition to real, lasting change. We're helping to shape how the institution evolves over the next decade and beyond. As our new Business Change Manager, you’ll help to ensure that the impact of change is understood, planned for and embedded into day-to-day operations.

About the department

This role sits within our BU2035 delivery function and focuses across a range of strategic initiatives, supporting leaders, managers and teams as they move from current ways of working to future state processes, systems and behaviours. Success will come from building strong relationships, understanding operational realities and helping people navigate change in a practical and sustainable way.

While currently an individual contributor role within the Strategic Change Team, there is an opportunity to shape how business change is delivered in the future and contribute to the development of a wider change function.

This role is not a project management job and requires a proven and specific change management skillset.
