Expert Change Coach

What you will do

You will coach the management committee of a large public digital transformation department through a structured change process. The committee steers cross-cutting challenges with large teams and high expectations from political authorities and operational directorates.

Your mission is to help the committee function better as a collective: individual and shared accountability, joint decision-making, cooperation between units, and a focus on solving problems rather than dwelling on causes. A transformation plan has been presented to the minister, including reorganisation, cultural change, greater accountability and clarification of roles and missions.

The assignment covers at least the following stages, which you will propose and refine:

• Discovery and diagnosis: individual listening sessions with each committee member, including the director general, and with part of the extended management community (around 50 people); particular focus on one department (infrastructure and operations); taking into account previous initiatives within the committee
• Feedback to the committee: sharing the diagnosis; proposing the next steps, adjusted with the director general and the committee
• Collective work sessions: one or more working sessions, including a seminar-style session; preparation with participants
• Anchoring and follow-up: monitoring commitments made by the committee; possibility of ad hoc individual support for committee members on request

You will work closely with the director general, who sponsors the mission and participates fully alongside her committee.

What we are looking for

You are an expert change coach with deep experience in supporting leadership teams, preferably in the public sector or comparable large organisations.

Essential skills and experience:

• Certified coach at PCC level (Professional Certified Coach)
• Certified team coach at ACTC level (Advanced Certified Team Coach)

• Expert-level communication skills
• Expert-level knowledge of collective intelligence approaches
• Expert-level IT knowledge
• Senior-level knowledge of agile methods
• Senior-level experience in change management
• Proficiency in French (C2 level)

Your approach:

You will submit a team approach note (maximum 4 pages) presenting your philosophy for this type of support, the role of the director general and how you work with the committee as a collective, your proposed step-by-step process and how it adjusts during the mission, the tools or exercises you might use, how you guarantee confidentiality and a climate of trust, and how you assess progress with the committee.

You will provide two or three references for comparable support of management committees, preferably in the public sector or organisations of comparable size.

Personal qualities:

• Service-oriented
• Adaptable
• Collaborative
• Creative
• Flexible
• Strong relational and communication skills, with a pedagogical approach
