Job description

At Macmillan, we’re here to do whatever it takes to support people living with cancer. As we continue to evolve how we deliver our services, effective change is critical to achieving meaningful, lasting impact.

We’re looking for a Change Design Lead to play a pivotal role in shaping and embedding change across our transformation portfolio. This is a specialist, high-impact position where you’ll design the strategies that enable people, teams, and the organisation to successfully adopt new ways of working.

You’ll bring deep expertise, thought leadership, and a practical, hands-on approach—ensuring that every programme is underpinned by robust, people-centred change design.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll lead the design and embedding of change strategies across major programmes, ensuring organisational readiness and driving successful adoption.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Designing and leading end-to-end change strategies aligned to Macmillan’s strategic objectives
  • Assessing organisational readiness, identifying risks, and recommending targeted interventions
  • Developing change impact assessments, stakeholder engagement plans, and adoption roadmaps
  • Partnering with Programme Managers, business leads, and People & Culture to embed change into delivery
  • Acting as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, influencing decisions to maximise adoption and minimise resistance
  • Designing and championing Macmillan’s Change Framework, embedding best practice methodologies across the organisation
  • Monitoring and reporting on change adoption, escalating risks and recommending corrective actions
  • Driving continuous improvement in change management capability and practice

Who we’re looking for

You’ll be an experienced change professional with the credibility and expertise to operate at a senior level—combining strategic thinking with practical delivery.

We’re particularly interested in candidates with:

  • Deep expertise in organisational change management, with experience in complex environments
  • Strong knowledge of recognised frameworks (e.g. Prosci, ADKAR, Kotter, Agile change)
  • Proven ability to influence and challenge senior stakeholders
  • Excellent facilitation, communication, and engagement skills, including managing resistance
  • A collaborative approach, with experience working across multi-disciplinary teams
  • A track record of delivering cultural and behavioural change within transformation programmes

Who you’ll work with

You’ll work at the heart of transformation, collaborating with:

  • Head of Strategy Integration
  • Programme and Project Managers
  • People & Culture team
  • Communications and Engagement team
  • Senior stakeholders across the organisation

What success looks like

In this role, you’ll:

  • Embed effective, scalable change strategies across programmes
  • Ensure organisational readiness is proactively assessed and addressed
  • Build strong stakeholder engagement and support for transformation initiatives
  • Strengthen internal capability in change management
  • Deliver measurable improvements in adoption and benefits realisation

Why join Macmillan?

This is an opportunity to shape how change happens in a purpose-driven organisation. Your work will directly enable us to deliver better outcomes for people living with cancer—ensuring that transformation is not just designed, but truly adopted and sustained.
