Launch role-based enablement (curricula, job aids, workshops) and measure effectiveness via completion, proficiency, and in-work adoption signals.
Establish a two-way communications rhythm (campaigns, leader toolkits, FAQs, listening sessions) that improves clarity and reduces change friction.
Track adoption KPIs and engagement metrics, provide actionable reporting, and drive course-corrections through go-live and stabilization.
Change Strategy & Stakeholder Alignment
Develop and own an integrated change management strategy aligned to the Finance transformation roadmap and key milestones (workforce transition, org activation, knowledge transfer, new ways of working).
Assess change impacts, organizational readiness, and adoption risks; define mitigation plans and targeted interventions.
Establish governance for change execution (cadence, forums, escalation paths, decision logs) as well as ensure clear ownership for decisions and adoption risks while ensuring alignment across Finance leadership, HR, and transformation workstreams.
Design, track and implement adoption reporting metrics and engagement indicators; use insights to reprioritize change activities and focus effort where resistance or risk is highest.
Communications & Engagement

Develop communication assets (leader talking points, FAQs, executive memos, toolkits, announcements, newsletters, intranet content, campaigns) and maintain a clear communications calendar.
Build structured feedback loops (listening sessions, Q&A, surveys, office hours) and manage rapid response to stakeholder questions and concerns.
Partner with senior Finance leaders to strengthen sponsorship, equip leaders for consistent storytelling, and reinforce accountability for adoption.
Training, Adoption Support & Workforce Development
Partner with process owners and business leaders to identify skill/knowledge gaps driven by new roles, processes, and systems.
Create and coordinate delivery of multi-format training (role-based curricula, guides, job aids, workshops, enablement sessions) for both leaders and end users.
Measure training effectiveness and reinforce learning through follow-ups, performance support, and adoption “nudges” tied to real work moments.
Stand up and support change champion networks to drive local adoption, address on-the-ground friction, and reinforce new ways of working at the team level.
Coordinate closely with workforce transition activities to ensure knowledge transfer, role clarity, and onboarding into new responsibilities are executed with discipline.
Development knowledge management practices to ensure key tacit knowledge is retained by front line teams.
Identify impacted stakeholder groups and define tailored engagement plans by audience, region, and change impact level.
Champion the creation of scorecard goals aligned to the Finance Transformation Office objectives to strengthen adoption, cohesion and performance across Finance teams.
Facilitate workshops, forums, and working sessions to support decision-making, role clarity, transition readiness, and adoption.
Conduct pulse checks and readiness assessments; translate findings into clear actions for leaders and workstream owners.
Partner with HR (HRBP, Internal Comms, Talent/Comp) to align transition communications, talent/role mapping activities, and workforce transition sequencing.
Facilitate and enable leaders through leadership alignment sessions, role clarity forums, and transition readiness checkpoints aligned to identify change readiness touchpoints.
