Integration & Transformation Change Officer

At Navantia UK, we are going through a significant transformation — and we are looking for someone who doesn’t just “manage change,” but owns it end-to-end from a people and culture perspective. This role is about getting things to actually happen. It requires someone who is comfortable working in the reality of the organisation: diagnosing situations first hand, engaging directly with teams, building practical plans, and following through until change is truly adopted. You will be responsible for understanding what is really going on in the business, identifying cultural and behavioural barriers, and designing and executing actions that drive adoption — not just on paper, but in day-to-day ways of working.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role where you will personally lead diagnosis, planning, engagement, measurement, and follow-up.

The Role

• Take full ownership of change and adoption challenges from a people and culture perspective, from initial diagnosis through to sustained implementation.
• Go beyond frameworks — observe, listen, and engage directly with teams and leaders to understand real issues on the ground.
• Conduct practical, experience-based diagnostics, including stakeholder conversations, workshops, and on-site observation.
• Translate insights into clear, actionable change plans that are realistic and tailored to the organisation’s context.
• Actively follow up and chase actions, ensuring commitments turn into tangible progress across teams.
• Design and deliver engagement activities, workshops, and conversations that drive alignment and momentum.
• Build and execute communication and adoption plans, including presentations, updates, and reports (a lot of PowerPoint — and doing it well).
• Define and track adoption and behaviour metrics, regularly assessing what is working and what is not.
• Continuously listen to the organisation through formal and informal channels, adjusting plans based on feedback and reality.
• Identify cultural blockers and behavioural patterns, and implement practical interventions to address them.
• Work closely with leaders, supporting them in taking accountability for change within their teams.
• Provide clear, structured reporting to leadership, with honest insights and pragmatic recommendations.
