Aspen Pharmacare is one of Australia's leading pharmaceutical companies, dedicated to improving health and quality of life in the communities we serve through a diverse portfolio of prescription and over-the-counter medicines. Since commencing operations in Australia in 2001, we have grown through strategic acquisitions and long-term partnerships, building a strong presence across Australia and New Zealand as part of our broader Aspen APAC regional organisation.

Aspen APAC is undergoing an exciting period of transformation as we evolve our operating model, systems, processes and ways of working. We are seeking an experienced Transition Change & Communications Manager to lead the change and communications activities supporting our people through this significant transformation. This is a 2-year, fixed-term contract position.

Working as part of the Transition Management Office (TMO) and reporting to the Head of Transition & Integration, you will develop and deliver an integrated change and communications approach across a complex transformation program. You will work closely with senior leaders, functional leaders and project workstreams to identify people impacts, build organisational readiness and support the successful adoption of new systems, processes, structures and ways of working.

This is a highly visible role suited to someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced, evolving environment and can bring structure, clarity and momentum to complex change.

What you'll do

- Develop and deliver the change and communications strategy for the transformation program.
- Build and maintain an integrated change plan aligned to key program milestones.




- Partner with workstream leads to identify and assess people impacts across systems, processes, roles, structures and ways of working.
- Lead stakeholder, change impact and organisational readiness assessments.
- Develop and coordinate communications, engagement, training and readiness activities for key transformation milestones.
- Coach and support senior leaders and people leaders to effectively sponsor and lead change.
- Identify change saturation and adoption risks, recommending practical interventions to minimise disruption.
- Establish feedback mechanisms and monitor stakeholder sentiment, readiness and adoption.
- Maintain core change management artefacts, including stakeholder maps, impact assessments, readiness trackers and communications plans.
- Provide clear reporting on change impacts, readiness, engagement and adoption risks to the TMO and governance forums.

What you'll bring

You will be an experienced change professional who can combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery. You will be comfortable operating with ambiguity, managing competing priorities and working with senior stakeholders across a complex transformation. Ideally, you will have:

- 6-10 years’ experience in organisational change, communications,



transformation or transition roles.
- Demonstrated experience leading change across complex transformation or business change initiatives.
- Strong experience developing change strategies, impact assessments, stakeholder engagement and readiness plans.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex information into clear, audience-specific messages.
- Solid stakeholder management skills and confidence working with senior leaders and cross-functional teams.
- Experience working within a Program, Transformation or Transition Management Office is advantageous.
- Experience supporting organisational restructuring, business transformation, separation, integration or other significant change programs is desirable.
- A relevant tertiary qualification in change management, communications, business, HR, organisational psychology, project management or a related discipline is highly desirable.
- Prosci, Agile Change, CCMP or equivalent certification is advantageous.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in a significant period of transformation and help shape how our people experience and adopt change.

You will have genuine visibility and influence, working alongside senior leaders and functional teams on initiatives that will shape our future operating model, systems, processes and ways of working.

If you are a pragmatic and engaging change professional who enjoys making complex transformation understandable and achievable for people, we would love to hear from you.
