General Manager - Change and Communications

About this role

Reporting to: Chief People Officer
Leadership: Change & Internal Communications team
A large, complex APAC organisation is entering a multi-year transformation phase - with major IT-led change, supply chain evolution, and enterprise uplift underway.
This is a senior in-house leadership role, not a consulting or advisory position. Youll sit on the People Leadership Team, lead an experienced change and internal communications function, and personally own delivery on the organisations most critical transformation programs.
If youre a hands-on change leader who thrives in ambiguity, knows how to work with IT at scale, and cares deeply about how change actually lands - this is a rare opportunity.
What youll be accountable for

Leading enterprise-wide change management and internal communications

Owning change delivery across large, IT-led programs (this is the core of the role)

Partnering closely with IT, Supply Chain, and senior business leaders

Building change capability across leadership layers - not just running programs

Setting the tone, judgement, sequencing and impact of internal communications

Leading, developing and leveraging an experienced change & comms team

Balancing global frameworks with local, pragmatic execution

What this role is (and isnt)

In-house, long-term leadership role

Hands-on, delivery-focused

Commercial, pragmatic, business-led

Not a pure consulting or advisory role

Not theory-heavy or framework-first

Not a set strategy and step away position

What were looking for

Deep, hands-on experience leading complex, IT-centric change

Strong judgement around tone, timing and impact of communication

Credibility with senior IT and business leaders

Comfortable operating in global environments with local nuance

A genuine joiner who wants to own outcomes, not rotate projects
