This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.

SHOULD YOU ACCEPT THIS CHALLENGE...

The Organizational Change Management (OCM) team is a key part of Pure’s Digital Transformation Group (DTG). We help people adopt new ways of working by leading with empathy, clarity, and purpose. Our work fuels adoption across Pure’s most strategic initiatives by supporting people through change—not just delivering it.

As an OCM Lead, you’ll design and deliver change strategies rooted in Pure’s OCM framework, aligned with our Project Lifecycle Process (PLP), and tailored to the needs of each initiative and its stakeholders. You’ll partner closely with project managers, sponsors, and subject matter experts to ensure users are informed, equipped, and engaged through each phase of the change journey.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced, cross-functional environments and brings deep experience in the people side of large-scale digital transformation.

What You’ll Do

Priorities can often change in a fast-paced environment like ours, so this role includes, but is not limited to, the following responsibilities:

• Develop and deliver fit-for-purpose change strategies grounded in Pure’s OCM framework, tailored to the scope, complexity, and people impact of each initiative
• Support the success of a global digital commerce transformation, working across multiple integrated programs to align stakeholders, assess change impacts, and enable seamless adoption of new systems and processes
• Align change strategies to the Project Lifecycle Process (PLP), working closely with project teams to ensure OCM is integrated from planning through sustainment
• Conduct stakeholder analysis and change impact assessments to identify key personas, readiness levels, resistance risks, and required behavior shifts
• Create and execute end-to-end OCM plans that span communications, training, stakeholder engagement, leadership alignment, and sustainment activities
• Facilitate working sessions, stakeholder interviews, and readiness checkpoints to ensure engagement and alignment throughout the change journey
• Serve as a visible, trusted OCM coach and advisor to project managers, initiative sponsors, business leaders, and change agents
• Collaborate across DTG and functional partners (e.g. L&D, Communications, Enablement) to co-create training and enablement strategies that meet users where they are
• Lead the creation of clear, compelling messaging and communication plans that inspire understanding, support, and action from impacted groups
• Define and track success metrics that measure change adoption, behavior shifts, and organizational readiness, adjusting plans based on feedback and data
• Identify and mitigate change risks and resistance, using empathy, influence, and relationship-building to foster psychological safety and forward momentum
• Contribute to the continued evolution of OCM delivery tools, templates, and methods, and help mature the practice by sharing learnings and coaching peers

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO BRING TO THIS ROLE...

• 7+ years of experience in Organizational Change Management
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience a plus
• Prosci Change Management Certification and experience (or equivalent change methodology certification)
• Proven success supporting enterprise-scale digital transformation, ideally within global, cross-functional environments
• Experience contributing to or maintaining structured OCM frameworks, tools, and delivery models
• Experience leading OCM in Agile environments and comfort adapting OCM to various delivery methods
• Demonstrated application of structured OCM frameworks and tools to drive adoption and behavior change
• Strong stakeholder engagement, facilitation, and communication skills
• Ability to flex your approach based on audience, delivery method, and organizational readiness
• Strategic thinker who connects the dots between impact, behavior, and outcomes
• Comfort operating in complex, fast-paced, and cross-functional environments, including global teams
• Self-directed, able to work autonomously with an outcomes-oriented mindset
• Strong business acumen and ability to connect change initiatives to outcomes and value
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills—you translate complexity into clarity and action
• Strong sense of ownership—you see OCM through from strategy to sustainment
• Collaborative mindset with experience working in cross-functional, distributed, and fast-moving teams
• Growth-oriented and reflective—you learn from feedback and help others do the same
