Midland Transport is on an exciting transformation journey to improve customer experience and modernize our operations. To help bring this vision to life, we’re looking for a Change Manager to join our Transformation Team, based in the Irving Building in Dieppe.

The Change Manager is a strategic partner to senior leaders, helping to embed change leadership and capability across the organization. You will design and lead a comprehensive change management approach that drives adoption, engagement, and lasting impact - ensuring transformation isn’t something that happens to the organization, but something leaders and teams actively champion.

Working side by side with leaders, you’ll equip them to lead change with confidence, align teams around a shared vision, and model the behaviors needed for success. Using data and insights, you’ll track progress, surface risks and opportunities, and continuously evolve change strategies to ensure our transformation delivers meaningful, sustainable results—for our people, our customers, and our business.

If you’re energized by complexity, thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution, and are passionate about turning bold ambition into real-world outcomes, this is your opportunity to make a lasting difference.
