We're committed to protecting the environment and supporting our local communities.  At MAG, we recognise creating a first-class journey for our customers starts by creating a first-class career journey for our colleagues and we are committed to building inclusive environments in which our people can thrive.

The role
The Strategic Change team sits at the heart of MAG’s transformation agenda, leading complex, cross-functional programmes that reshape how the organisation operates and delivers for passengers, colleagues and partners. Beyond delivery, the team plays a critical role in ensuring change is successfully adopted and sustained, working closely with stakeholders across the business to drive engagement, build capability, and embed new ways of working. From modernising operational systems and enhancing the end-to-end airport journey, to enabling more efficient, data-driven decision making, we focus on simplifying processes, standardising approaches and realising tangible business benefits. Our business change capability ensures that transformation translates into lasting impact, supporting a seamless, efficient and resilient operation from kerb to gate. You'll shape and lead programme wide change strategies that drive adoption, readiness and behavioural change. You’ll provide senior guidance and integration across projects, ensuring alignment, capability uplift and successful delivery of transformation outcomes, using the PROSCI framework. 

 

What will make you successful in the role?
You’ll have proven senior change experience ideally with experience with the PROSCI methodology within large, complex business change and transformation environments (not necessarily in airports or aviation) demonstrating your ability to take the strategic / holistic view. You’ll also be a proven communicator with a solid experience of building relationships with stakeholders whilst also challenging as and when needed. 
Join us and be at the forefront of strategic change, making a tangible impact on the future of the air travel experience.
