Job's mission
The Head of Change Management will establish and lead the enterprise change, adoption and capability agenda for ASM’s Global Digital Transformation (GDT) organization. This role will ensure that investments in data, end-to-end processes, AI, digital platforms and other technologies translate into sustained changes in how people work and into measurable business outcomes.
As the senior leader for change management and adoption within GDT, you will set the approach, standards and roadmap for enterprise change. You will partner with business functions, the People Team, Corporate Communications, Digital Transformation Business Partners, Business Process and Data Owners, senior management and others to build ownership, readiness and adoption from strategy through deployment and value realization.
Success will be measured not by communications delivered or training completed, but by the extent to which new ways of working are adopted, embedded and sustained, and by the business outcomes they enable. This role will also lead ASM’s AI Literacy agenda, building the confidence and practical capability needed to use AI responsibly and effectively at scale.

- Integrate change, communications, learning, leadership alignment and adoption into the transformation life cycle from value case through realization.
- Create a clear portfolio view of change impact, organizational readiness, dependencies and change saturation to guide sequencing and investment decisions.
- Set governance and accountabilities so that business leaders own adoption and GDT provides the expertise, methods and enablement required to succeed.
Drive Adoption and Measurable Business Outcomes
- Lead change for enterprise initiatives spanning data, processes, AI, automation, digital platforms and other technologies.
- Translate target business outcomes into specific behavior changes, stakeholder commitments, adoption measures and reinforcement plans.
- Define and track outcome-oriented measures such as adoption, proficiency, and process compliance, linking these to business outcomes and investment decisions.
- Use data, feedback from people and operational insights to identify barriers, adapt interventions and accelerate value realization.
- Ensure changes are sustained after go-live through communities, coaching, and others.
Build Business Ownership
- Advise (senior) leaders on transformation leadership, sponsorship, decision-making and visible role-modeling.
- Partner business functions, the People Team, Business Process Data Owners, GDT teams, and others to create integrated plans.
- Build strong change networks and communities across functions, regions and locations, and constructively challenge leaders and teams when ownership, readiness or value assumptions put outcomes at risk
Lead AI Literacy, Learning and Digital Culture
- Own the rollout of the Data & AI Literacy program, and other digital learning programs across ASM.
- Embed a learn-apply-lead approach that connects capability building to real use cases, responsible AI practices and day-to-day work.
- Build a data-driven, AI-enabled and change-ready culture through leadership engagement, role-based learning, communities of practice, storytelling and recognition.
Build GDT Capabilities for the Future
- Establish a structured approach to assess current and future capability needs across GDT, identify role- and team-level gaps, and translate the findings into clear development priorities and workforce plans.
- Design and lead a role-based GDT learning and development program that builds the capabilities needed to deliver the GDT strategy, including AI literacy, data fluency, agile ways of working, product and platform thinking, change leadership and business-value realization.
