Job Description
Rockwell Automation is looking for an APS Change Management and Training Lead to drive change management, training, and adoption for a major supply chain planning transformation. You will translate strategic APS goals into daily behaviors across material planning and S&OP, partnering with leaders and cross-functional teams to ensure readiness, agreement, and sustained adoption. You will sit at the intersection of business transformation, process change, and platform enablement-focusing on embedding APS into how employees execute planning work. We're looking for a hands-on change leader with strong Kinaxis expertise who can deliver practical, role-based learning, support ongoing capability releases, and help build long-term internal APS proficiency. You will report to the Project/Program Manager and have a working hybrid schedule.
Your Responsibilities:
- Lead change management across the full project lifecycle, from early engagement through implementation, go-live, stabilization, and ongoing adoption.
- Create, maintain, and deploy training materials that help users understand and consistently apply the standard work being developed.
- Translate process changes, system changes, and business expectations into clear learning content, job aids, communications, and practical user guidance.
- Keep impacted teams aligned and in sync by reinforcing common ways of working, consistent messaging, and shared understanding across functions and regions.
- Partner with subject matter experts to keep training content current as standard work evolves throughout the project and after launch.
- Build user confidence by combining structured training, hands-on support, feedback loops, and post-go-live reinforcement.
- Lead change management planning and execution across the full project lifecycle, including implementation, go-live, stabilization, and ongoing adoption.
- Develop stakeholder engagement plans, change impact assessments, readiness plans, and adoption support activities.
- Create, maintain, and deploy role-based training materials, learning plans, job aids, and user enablement content that support the standard work being developed.
- Partner with business subject matter experts to translate process and tool changes into simple, practical learning content.
- Support train-the-trainer activities and build internal capability across impacted teams.
- Develop communication materials that explain what is changing, why it matters, and what users need to do differently.
- Support leaders and end users through readiness, go-live preparation, post-go-live support, and reinforcement.
- Gather user feedback and adoption insights to continuously improve training, communications, standard work guidance, and support materials.
- Help create sustainable learning and change practices that can be reused across future releases, enhancements, and transformation activities
