Senior Project and Change Manager

At Avaron, you get the security of permanent employment combined with the variety of working at different customers. We place specialists across everything from tech, IT and industry to project management and business support – and whatever the assignment, you have a consultant manager who is there for you and your development.

You will play a key role in helping a complex organization turn major projects and transformations into lasting business results. The focus is not only on delivery, but on making sure new processes, technologies, and ways of working are understood, adopted, and sustained across the business.

In this role, you bridge project teams and business stakeholders, creating structure, clarity, and readiness throughout the change journey. You work close to sponsors, leaders, end users, and support functions to make transition and handover work in practice.

• You will lead readiness assessments, identify gaps, and work with project and business teams to establish action plans.
• You will proactively manage risks and issues related to business readiness, including mitigation planning and follow-up.
• You will drive transition planning and support a smooth handover from project delivery into business-as-usual operations.
• You will support post-implementation stabilization and help resolve issues during the Hypercare period.
