Director, Enterprise Change Management

Help shape how change happens across URUS

URUS is in an exciting period of transformation. Across our global organization, we are advancing more than 20 strategic initiatives, including technology modernization, CRM implementation, AI enablement, and other enterprise programs that will change how our people work, collaborate, and serve our customers.

But successful transformation is not just about implementing new technology or processes. It is about helping people understand why we are changing, what it means for them, and how we move forward together.

That is where you come in.

We are looking for a Director, Enterprise Change Management who will help connect the dots across our transformation portfolio and build an enterprise approach to change at URUS. You will serve as a trusted advisor, change leader, storyteller, and connector across our businesses, functions, projects, and geographies.

This is not a role where you will simply create change plans and hand them to project teams. You will help build a capability URUS does not have today, creating greater consistency in how we prepare our organization for change, engage employees, equip leaders, measure adoption, and realize the value of our strategic investments.

What you'll make possible

You will lead the people side of enterprise transformation across URUS, driving adoption, engagement, organizational readiness, and sustainable behavior change for strategic business initiatives. As a key member of the URUS Transformation Team, you will partner closely with executive leaders, project managers, functional teams, and external partners to turn transformation strategies into meaningful experiences for our people and measurable outcomes for the business.

A major part of your work will focus on digital transformation and AI adoption, helping employees understand, embrace, and effectively use emerging technologies while supporting responsible adoption and minimizing disruption.

You will also become an important ambassador for change, bringing together initiatives that may otherwise operate independently and helping create a coherent story about where URUS is going and why.
