.**Why AstraZeneca?**There's never been a better time to join Technology at AstraZeneca. We've been lively building and developing our technology which is now enabling our transformation to become a digital and data-led enterprise. There's a huge opportunity to develop, explore and thrive during our next chapter.**Accountabilities**:Responsible to understand integration requirements and change impact from a business implementation perspective arising from the design, to confirm a process be practically implemented, and understand the level of business / change required.Leads change impact assessments during design, by working closely with the Enterprise Process owner (EPO), Enterprise Process Leaders (EPL) and their teams, and Regional / functional / first site business teams to ensure the major change burden of implementation arising from global design are understood and can be managed.Uses extensive specialist knowledge of process, systems and data to support understanding of integration deployment considerations, outstanding conceptual thinking and analytical skills and the ability to influence and work closely across teams to review design coming from relevant EPO areas in order to:Identify and resolve deployment integration issues, where necessary collaborating with and negotiating across multiple teams and leaders to do soIdentify and ensures resolution of significant deployment issues in the global core design that mean one or more core global process could not be operated during the transition or end state.Work with Operations Regions and Functions to settle the change means for them, any challenges that need considering in the design phase. 'First line of defence' for requests to have an exception to the standard.Looks across design to understand consolidated change impacts and interactionsFind innovative solutions to integration and change management challenges, seeking external insight where appropriateDevelop a plan to run long lead time change items or deploy early to better handle change impactMaintains a high degree of understanding and awareness on process, data and systemsWorks closely to develop processes to achieve the above. Provides input to the change management strategy.Identify situations where changes to the AZ business or external factors triggers a change to the previously approved designs or understanding of major change areas, and trigger required re-evaluations.Identifies major change risks, and ensures mitigations are in place
