Overview

The Senior Director, Change Management & Value Realization leads Change Management at Echo and runs the value realization system that connects investment to impact.

Change management and adoption is the primary focus (~60%); value realization facilitation is the second (~40%) and applies to a tracked subset of qualifying initiatives.

Duties & Responsibilities

  • Ownership Oversight

    • Adoptions of every technology release across Echo, so new capabilities change how teams actually work, not just which tools they have

    • The value realization system that shows whether Echo’s technology investment, more than $50 million annually, pays off

    • The change and adoption strategy for the portfolio, and the standards that mature the practice over time

    • The expert partnership that project teams, function leaders, and Finance rely on to define and protect value

    • The change management team, and the next generation of leaders growing within it

  • Change Management & Adoption

    • Set and own the change and adoption strategy for the technology portfolio

    • Own adoption targets and measurement plans for each initiative, and hold owners accountable for the behaviors and usage that drive outcomes

    • Lead role based training and enablement in partnership with Learning & Development, scaling reach through a train the trainer model

    • Lead communications, executive sponsorship, and stakeholder engagement across operations, sales, technology, and training

  • Value Realization Facilitation

    • Run the value definition process for qualifying initiatives, aligning business, technology, and Finance on a target dollar value and a single success metric before build begins, using the standards and cadence set by the SVP and steering committee

    • Chair working level value reviews

    • Operate the value tracking and reporting cadence from before build through after launch, and surface “value at risk” (initiatives where projected benefits are slipping) to leadership

    • Prepare and present readiness recommendations to the steering committee as input to its decisions

    • Partner with Finance to validate value definitions and connect adoption to realized value

    • Drive continuous improvement of the value operating model in partnership with the SVP

What Success Looks Like

  • Adoptions targets are met or exceeded across the portfolio, with clear linkage to business outcomes

  • The value cadence runs reliably, and leadership trusts the visibility it provides

  • A strong bench of change and value leaders is developing under your leadership

  • Change and value practices mature measurably across the organization

Requirements

  • 8+ years in change management, including adoption or transformation work, with people leadership experience

  • A track record of setting strategy and delivering measurable business outcomes at portfolio scale

  • Strong analytical, financial, and communication skills, with executive presence

  • Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s or MBA preferred
