Change Management Specialist, Finance Transformation

About The Role

The Change Management Specialist is a critical role within the new Finance Transformation Office (FTO) team that reports to the Director, Finance Transformation. While the FT Project Manager manages the timeline and processes, you manage the effect of change on people. The Finance Transformation Office (FTO) is a strategy-to-execution function intended to help modernize MYR’s financial foundation, enabling data-driven decisions & freeing the broader finance team for high-value work. Our broader finance team is made up of knowledgeable professionals who have successfully kept this company running using legacy processes & systems that have withstood the test of time. Your job is not to force change - it is to understand where people are, meet them there, and patiently help them see why and how a better way matters. This is not an academic role. Formal, textbook change models are valued but need to be tailored to MYR’s culture. You need to be creative, tenacious, patient, empathetic, and have high-EQ. You will translate the "why" into plain language, design practical (not perfect) resources, and build trust one conversation at a time.

Essential Functions

Listen First - Spend the first 90 days sitting with the broader Finance team. Understand their manual workarounds, their frustrations, and their fears about change (i.e., new technology, new processes). Document the "institutional knowledge" that lives in their heads & identify business process redesign opportunities that can be further evaluated for efficiency impact(s). Translate the "Why" Take the FTO's strategic objectives (de-risking the foundation, data as an asset) and translate them into simple, personal messages: Design Low-Friction Resources Create job aids, quick guides, one-pagers, and short videos that fit how the FT team actually works. Meet people where they are (e.g., printed guides for AP staff, quick huddles instead of formal meetings). Support continuous improvement efforts that may lead to new processes/procedures. Regularly solicit feedback from peers and internal customers to improve and enhance their own performance Lead with curiosity, not judgment When people resist change, listen for the real reason (fear of job loss? loss of control? past failures?) and feed those insights directly into the FTO plan. You don't label people as "blockers." Negotiate "win wins" Find outcomes where internal customers feel heard and the transformation still moves forward. Support the AP system Upgrade Work alongside the TA Project Manager to help AP staff and end users transition from the current system to the new mobile-friendly system Analyze data for opportunities, trends and opportunities for improvement by tracking Adoption. Measure whether people are actually using the new systems and processes. Regular and predictable attendance Other duties as assigned.
