About the Role
GM is seeking a Sr. Systems Analyst specializing in change management to support major technology transformations across a global and complex organization. This role combines strong systems analysis discipline with change management leadership to understand business-unit impacts, define requirements, document future-state process changes, and validate that new platforms support successful organizational adoption. The successful candidate will serve as a key bridge between business stakeholders, product and engineering teams, and implementation partners. This person will translate platform capabilities and deployment plans into actionable change strategies, readiness activities, and business-specific requirements that support both successful solution delivery and sustained adoption.
Responsibilities
- Partner with business, product, technology, and operations stakeholders to define and lead the change management strategy for major technology transformations.
- Analyze target systems, future-state workflows, role changes, and dependencies to understand how technology shifts will impact ways of working across functions and geographies.
- Partner with business unit leads to evaluate software and hardware options and identify the right solutions for their specific needs.
- Translate system capabilities, process changes, and deployment milestones into clear change impacts, readiness needs, and adoption priorities for each business unit.
- Assess needs, define and manage business, functional, and technical requirements, and translate them into backlog-ready work products that support delivery.
- Validate that solutions align with business needs and technical requirements.
- Document current-state and future-state business process flows, upstream and downstream integrations, role impacts, operational dependencies, and supporting solution documentation to ensure new systems support business needs and enable successful change.
- Work closely with product managers, architects, engineers, and implementation teams during solution design and implementation to align change strategies with integrations, access models, deployment sequencing, and go-live plans.
- Clarify requirements, resolve gaps, and support a strong handoff into delivery.
- Assess organizational readiness by evaluating stakeholder alignment, user preparedness, support coverage, and business process changes.
- Identify risks tied to rollout and adoption.
- Lead impact assessments, stakeholder plans, readiness checkpoints, mitigation actions, and transition plans needed to support successful implementation of new platforms, tools, and ways of working.
- Use pilots, demos, system walkthroughs, test outcomes, and feedback loops to identify adoption barriers early and drive adjustments that improve usability, clarity, and rollout effectiveness.
- Partner with technical and operational teams to validate that role-based access, workflow ownership, escalation paths, and support processes are in place to enable a smooth user transition.
- Validate delivered capabilities against business needs, functional requirements, technical requirements, and intended workflows through testing support, user validation, and coordination of issue resolution activities tied to rollout and adoption.
- Monitor change effectiveness through adoption metrics, readiness indicators, user feedback, and post-launch performance trends to measure sustained behavior change and business outcomes.
- Serve as the subject matter expert in change management for technology transformation initiatives, advising teams on stakeholder engagement, implementation risk, change readiness, and long-term adoption strategy.
- Lead highly complex, cross-functional initiatives with a balance of strategic leadership and hands-on execution, ensuring high-quality delivery, strong coordination, and on-time outcomes.
- Capture and share lessons learned, repeatable methods, and best practices across teams to strengthen enterprise change capability and improve future transformation programs.
