  • Conduct readiness assessments, impact analyses, and stakeholder feedback loops.
  • Adapt OCM strategies based on measurable adoption progress and stakeholder feedback.
  • Educate executives and project teams on OCM practices, coaching them to sustain long-term transformation.
  • Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 5+ years of OCM experience, with at least 3 years in ServiceNow or enterprise platform transformations.
  • Demonstrated success leading OCM in multicultural, multinational environments, ideally in the Middle East and Africa.

  • Proven track record engaging difficult stakeholders in high-pressure situations.
  • Exceptional communication, facilitation, and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Skilled in modern communication / collaboration tools (Teams, Miro, Zoom, Adobe, Canva, etc.).
  • Willingness to travel internationally.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • OCM Certification (e.g., Prosci Certified Change Practitioner or equivalent).
  • Experience with ServiceNow Partner projects.
  • Background in consulting, enterprise SaaS, or technology transformation.
  • Degree in Organisational Psychology, Business, or Communications.
