Change Management Lead - Business Transformation

Join us as we pursue our disruptive new vision to make machine data accessible, usable and valuable to everyone.

At Splunk, we’re committed to our work, customers, having fun and most importantly to each other’s success. Learn more about Splunk careers and how you can become a part of our journey!

As a member of the Business Transformation team at Splunk, you will help “engineer” the people side of changes introduced by some of our company’s most complex and critical initiatives. You will join a dynamic, creative, results-oriented, and entrepreneurial team within the Office of the CEO that leads sophisticated, cross-functional efforts to position the company for continued high growth.

Our change leaders are strategists, facilitators, communicators, and trainers who draw from a breadth of experiences and an extensive knowledge network. We value the design of change strategies and plans as much as we do executing them. Our approach to change is based on an iterative process of discovery, co-development, testing, measurement, and reflection.

In this role, you will use a robust and diverse toolkit of methodologies and frameworks to:

• Communicate a clear understanding of why change is needed that appeals to the head and heart
• Foster long-term culture shifts that are realized through a portfolio of change initiatives over time
• Drive visible leadership alignment to promote early adoption and celebrate iterative successes
• Realign business processes to focus people on quickly embedding new ways of working that deliver value
• Deliver training that is aligned with the principles of lean learning and modern instructional design
• Establish success measures and incentives that promote, reinforce, and sustain change over time
• Find ways to overcome organizational inertia, individual resistance to change, or change saturation
• Create and promote an understanding of change leadership, agility, and resilience

The ideal candidate is passionate about helping people thrive, not survive, while navigating a portfolio of deep change to organizations, business processes, systems and technologies in a fast-moving SaaS company. The candidate also has a solid understanding of one or more end-to-end business flows (e.g., Idea to Offering, Demand to Quote, Order to Cash, Managed Partner Ecosystem, Procure to Pay, Hire to Retire, Information Management, M&A, etc.).

Responsibilities: I want to and can do that!

• Closely collaborate and partner with the broader enablement and communications groups for the execution of plans and creation of deliverables globally, and at scale

Requirements: I’ve already done that or have that!
