Job Description:

Shield is scaling fast, and our internal systems, security posture, and ways of working are changing with it. We're looking for a hands-on change management lead to build our OCM function from the ground up for IT, Enterprise Operations, and Cybersecurity. This person is not a generic change practitioner. They understand the technology well enough to earn credibility with engineers, anticipate where a rollout will break, and translate technical change into something every employee can act on.

What you'll do:

  • Build Shield's OCM program for technical functions: frameworks, templates, playbooks, intake process, and success metrics.
  • Own change strategy and execution for major initiatives, such as identity and access changes, endpoint and device management, security controls and compliance requirements (e.g., CMMC/NIST 800-171), ERP and business system rollouts, collaboration tool migrations, and new IT service models.
  • Partner with IT, EntOps, and Cyber leaders early in project planning to assess impact, readiness, and risk, rather than joining at launch.
  • Run stakeholder analysis and change impact assessments across engineering, manufacturing, flight ops, and corporate teams.
  • Create communications, training, and enablement: announcements, FAQs, how-to guides, short videos, office hours, and change champion networks.
  • Measure adoption with real data (ticket volume, usage telemetry, compliance rates, surveys) and adjust course.
  • Coordinate release and change calendars so employees don't get hit with five disruptions in one week.
  • Act as the voice of the end user in technical decisions, and push back when a rollout plan isn't ready for humans.

Required qualifications:

  • 8+ years in organizational change management, with at least 3 years supporting IT, security, or enterprise technology programs.
  • Real technical fluency. You can hold your own in conversations about SSO/MFA, identity providers (Okta, Entra ID), MDM (Intune, Jamf), ITSM (ServiceNow, Jira Service Management), SaaS migrations, and security controls. You don't need to configure them, but you need to understand them.
  • A track record of building a change function or program, not just executing someone else's.
  • Strong writing skills. You can turn a dense technical spec into a clear two-paragraph announcement.
  • Comfort operating with ambiguity in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
  • Familiarity with a change methodology (Prosci/ADKAR, Kotter, or similar), applied pragmatically rather than dogmatically.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Experience in defense, aerospace, or other regulated environments (CMMC, ITAR, FedRAMP, NIST).
  • Prosci or CCMP certification.
  • Background in IT project management, service delivery, or technical training.
  • Experience supporting security awareness or compliance programs.

How we measure success in year one:

  • An OCM framework and intake process adopted by IT, EntOps, and Cyber.
  • Measurable adoption and reduced support tickets on major rollouts.
  • Leaders across these functions pulling you in by default at project kickoff.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
