This highly visible and impactful role will be responsible for crafting and executing change management strategies and readiness plans that ensure maximum employee adoption and usage of the required changes.

Additionally, this role is responsible for Supply/Demand planning for our GBS entity including capacity and resource management. This role will be responsible for implementing the demand, capacity and resource management processes across the GBS while partnering with key stakeholders in HR, Finance, and the business. This role will drive an integrated variable labor strategy for MassMutual that will support leaders in making long-term decisions which will result in a cost effective, high quality and integrated workforce that enables our business.

The Impact (Responsibilities):

  • Strategic Change Management: Develop and implement high-level change management strategies. Utilize advanced change management processes and tools to create a comprehensive strategy that supports the adoption of changes required by the project in alignment with the MassMutual culture.

  • Leadership in Readiness and Communications: Plan, develop, and execute internal communication strategies to ensure all GBS employees are ready, informed and engaged throughout the transition process. This includes working with the communications team to craft clear and compelling messages, managing communication channels, and ensuring timely dissemination of information.

  • Performance Monitoring: Track and report on the progress of change and communications activities. Identify and address any issues or resistance to change.
  • Continuous Improvement: Identify and implement process improvement opportunities to drive efficiency and effectiveness in change and communications practices.
