Job description

We are seeking a Change Manager to support high-impact, fast-moving change initiatives for a leading technology organization in the Bay Area. This role is designed for an adaptable professional who thrives in ambiguity, operates with urgency, and excels at coordinating complex programs by aligning the right people, insights, and execution at the right time.

Rather than serving as a deep subject-matter expert in traditional change disciplines, this role focuses on supporting strategic coordination, facilitating communication, and building momentum across multiple workstreams. Working closely with Senior Change Managers and program leadership, you will help ensure that initiatives stay on track, stakeholders remain engaged, and deliverables are met with quality and consistency.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Support complex change initiatives in a fast-paced technology environment, assisting in the

management of multiple concurrent workstreams with clarity and accountability.

  • Help distill ambiguity into clear action plans by synthesizing inputs from diverse stakeholders into

prioritized recommendations and next steps.

  • Serve as a reliable partner to leaders and the broader program team, helping prepare concise

communications, insights, and decision support materials.

  • Assist in facilitating discussions and working sessions, maintaining focus, resolving friction, and

driving alignment and forward momentum.

  • Coordinate cross-functional teams and subject-matter experts, ensuring dependencies, timelines,

and deliverables are tracked and progressing.

  • Navigate evolving program structures and shifting priorities, adjusting plans as directed while

maintaining delivery discipline.

  • Build and sustain productive working relationships with stakeholders across the organization,

engaging with confidence and professionalism.

  • Translate research, data, and qualitative inputs into clear narratives that inform strategy and enable

execution.

  • Track success metrics, risks, and progress indicators, escalating issues to senior team members and

recommending course corrections as needed.

  • Manage the change management communication plan for assigned initiatives, drafting clear and

targeted communications to stakeholders impacted by change management programming, and

ensuring messages are timely, consistent, and aligned with overall program strategy.

Requirements

  • Communication Skills: Strong ability to synthesize complex information into clear, audience-

appropriate summaries and updates.

  • Comfort with Ambiguity: Good judgment to determine priorities and support action in evolving,

fast-moving environments.

  • Facilitation: Solid skills to help guide discussions, align stakeholders, and maintain momentum in

working sessions.

  • Adaptability & Resilience: Ability to adjust quickly to changing program environments and

competing priorities.

  • Professional Presence: Ability to build relationships, engage stakeholders constructively, and

influence effectively.

  • Program Management Mindset: Focused on coordination, orchestration, and delivery across

multiple workstreams.

  • Collaborative Approach: Ability to work effectively with subject-matter experts and cross-functional

partners rather than personally owning all content areas.

  • Bias for Action: Urgency and outcomes orientation in high-velocity, high-expectation environments.

What You'll Need:

  • Bachelor's Degree preferred with 5-8 years of relevant experience. In lieu of a degree, a combination of experience and education will be considered. Real Estate license, as required by the State.
  • Ability to exercise judgment based on the analysis of multiple sources of information.
  • Willingness to take a new perspective on existing solutions.
  • In-depth knowledge of Microsoft Office products. Examples include Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.
  • Organizational skills with an advanced inquisitive mindset.
