Organizational Change Management (OCM) Lead — Finance & Accounting Systems Modernization
Location: Downtown Dallas, TX | On-site 4–5 days/week Contract: Time & Materials | Initial 6 months, strong likelihood of multi-year extension
The engagement
Large organization in the energy industry is modernizing the treasury and risk management systems that sit underneath its finance and accounting function — a multi-year, enterprise build moving the organization onto a new treasury platform and a set of redesigned processes across Finance, Accounting, Credit & Risk, and Internal Audit.
You'll own change management for that transition. This is a client-facing seat on a multi-contractor program team, with regular exposure to senior finance leadership and a release-by-release delivery rhythm.
What you'll do
- Build and lead the OCM strategy for the modernization, tied to defined adoption metrics rather than activity counts
- Run change-impact assessments across people, processes, roles, and workflows for each system release
- Map and engage stakeholders at every level — from the analysts on impacted F&A teams to executive sponsors — to secure alignment and keep it
- Design and deliver multi-channel communications that tell each team exactly what they need to know and do ahead of every release
- Partner with training resources to build modular, workflow-specific curriculum and how-to materials for the new platform and net-new processes
- Assess readiness, surface resistance early, and execute remediation before it becomes a go-live problem
- Coach and support teams through go-live and into sustainment
- Track and report adoption metrics and progress to program and executive leadership
What you need
- 5+ years leading organizational change management, ideally in utilities, energy, or other regulated, large-scale finance/operations transformations
- A full-lifecycle track record — strategy through adoption and sustainment, not just one phase
- Real finance & accounting domain fluency; you can hold your own with treasury, credit/risk, and audit stakeholders
- Executive-level communication, facilitation, and presentation skills — this role presents up, and often
- Strong stakeholder management, influence, and conflict resolution
- Advanced PowerPoint; comfort with visual tools like Canva
Nice to have
- Change management certification (Prosci, ACMP, or CCMP)
- Enterprise system implementation experience in treasury, credit/risk, or similar — GTreasury or a comparable TRMS platform a strong plus
- Working knowledge of the Texas electric market or regulated-utility finance environment
Why it's worth a look
- A central role on a mission-critical modernization for one of the state's essential energy providers
- High visibility with senior finance leadership from day one
- Start as the individual contributor leading the work, with room to grow into team leadership as the program scales
- Long runway: stable industry, multi-year program, real impact
