Key Responsibilities
Change Management: Conduct regional and local stakeholder analysis and manage associated stakeholder engagement/involvement to ensure that program objectives are aligned. Conduct regional and local change impact assessments. Develop and implement regional and local communications and engagement plans to disseminate information on the change to stakeholders throughout the project life cycle.
Organizational Context: Maintain up to date knowledge on Cochlear's strategic priorities and possible impacts on change management. Participate in local and regional organisational discussions relating to the project and assess related change impacts.
Project Management: Establish and manage delivery of change effort against local and/or regional change plan (aligned to global change strategy). Report on the progress of local and regional change management activities against timeframes, milestones, and budget.
