The responsibilities and expectations associated with change management roles will naturally vary, depending on an individual’s seniority within the organisation. For instance, a trainee, entry-level, or junior position would not take up the same responsibilities and duties as a lead or senior change manager, or as the Director or Head of Change Management.
The most basic responsibilities of an individual in a change management position are to:

Further expectations and responsibilities beyond this will typically be detailed in the individual job description set out by the organisation.
Change Management Job Titles
The change manager, or the change management practitioner, is the role and job title most commonly associated with change management as a concept. But these are not the only titles that an individual in change management might hold.

- Change management advisors
- Change management analysts
- Change management consultants
- Change management coordinators
- Change management facilitators
