Job Title: OCM Lead - Multi-Program Support
Position Description: Protingent Staffing has an exciting contract OCM Lead - Multi-Program Support with our client located in Santa Clara, CA.
Job Description:
- Looking for a OCM Lead who can hit the ground running, manage complexity without hand-holding, and deliver rigorous change management across concurrent initiatives in one of the fastest-paced digital transformation environments in the industry.
- This is not a role for someone who needs a clearly scoped, single-track workstream. This is a role for someone who thrives on ambiguity, adapts quickly when priorities shift, and brings sharp analytical thinking to every stage of the change lifecycle.
Job Responsibilities:
- Own OCM strategy and execution across multiple concurrent high-priority programs simultaneously, from discovery through stabilization
- Lead comprehensive stakeholder analyses — identifying impacted groups, mapping infl uence and sentiment, defi ning engagement strategies, and tracking shifts over time
- Conduct and iterate on change impact assessments (CIAs) aligned to program milestones; translate complex technical changes into clear, business-relevant impact narratives for each audience
- Rapidly assess in-fl ight programs, identify OCM gaps, and independently build and execute a plan to close them — with minimal ramp time
- Drive stakeholder engagement across cross-functional teams including business leaders, program managers, and technical SMEs; align stakeholders on key messages, risks, and change readiness
- Design and deliver multi-channel communications (emails, FAQs, Slack posts, talking points, leadership briefi ngs) that distill highly technical content into plain, actionable language for non-technical audiences
- Identify training and enablement needs; defi ne appropriate formats and coordinate with SMEs to ensure impacted teams are prepared and confident
- Build and support change agent networks to reinforce change at the team level
- Track readiness, adoption, and feedback metrics across programs; proactively surface risks and adjust OCM tactics to drive outcomes
- Operate within an Agile/SAFe delivery model, aligning OCM activities to PI planning cycles and sprint-level execution without losing strategic perspective.
Job Qualifications:
- 7+ years of organizational change management experience, with a demonstrated track record supporting large-scale, cross-functional technology transformation programs
- Proven ability to support multiple simultaneous programs — not just a single dedicated workstream — with strong personal organization and prioritization under pressure
- Deep expertise in OCM analysis activities: stakeholder identifi cation and analysis, change impact assessments, readiness tracking, and resistance management — with the ability to lead these rigorously and iterate quickly
- Exceptional ability to absorb highly technical information and translate it into clear, non-technical communications and guidance tailored to diverse audiences
- Strong command of OCM methodologies (Prosci/ADKAR, Kotter, or similar) applied pragmatically, not academically
- Experience joining programs mid-stream and independently driving high-quality OCM execution without a long onboarding runway
- Demonstrated ability to operate in agile, fast-moving, ambiguous environments where priorities shift and structure is earned, not given — and to not just survive that environment but genuinely thrive in it.
Job Details:
- Job Type: Contract
- Pay Range: $100 - $116 an hour.
- Location: Santa Clara, CA (Onsite).
Benefits Package: Protingent offers competitive salaries, insurance plan options (HDHP plan or POS plan), education/certification reimbursement, pre-tax commuter benefits, Paid Time Off (PTO), and an administered 401k plan.
