    Why it stands out: This role combines organizational design, operating model implementation, AI-first organization design, and scaled transformation work.

    Organizational capability building
    Enterprise learning systems

  4. FedEx โ€” Manager, Continuous Listening

    Application: https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=e15927db0a423556

    Application: https://kyndryl.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/KyndrylProfessionalCareers/job/Research-Triangle-Park-NC-USA/Learning-Consulting_R-58789-1

    Learning strategy
    Consulting orientation
    Capability development

  10. HUB International โ€” Change and Communications Consultant

    Application: https://careers.hubinternational.com/us/en/job/HULHICUSR0036253EXTERNALENUS/Change-and-Communications-Consultant

    Why it stands out: A useful example of a role emphasizing communications and change enablement without clear evidence of broader behavioral systems design.

    Potential ICD Alignment:
    Change communications
    Stakeholder engagement
    Adoption support

    Gap Relative to ICD:
    Limited evidence of experimentation, social influence systems, or spread mechanisms.

  11. Versique โ€” Interim Change Management Consultant

    Location: Minneapolis, MN

    Application: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4399258912/

    Why it stands out: Classic change management consulting framing. Useful for understanding how many organizations still define change primarily through implementation support and communications.

    Potential ICD Alignment:
    Change implementation
    Stakeholder coordination
    Adoption support

    Gap Relative to ICD:
    Limited emphasis on behavioral spread design or organizational influence architecture.

1. Organizations Are Funding Behavior Change Outside Traditional HR

Many of the strongest roles are now embedded within:

  • Operating model teams
  • Organizational design groups
  • Enterprise transformation offices
  • Governance functions
  • AI transformation initiatives
  • Strategy consulting environments

This reinforces a major trend: organizations increasingly recognize that business transformation depends on changing workforce behavior at scale, even if they do not label it as organizational psychology or employee listening work.

2. Organizational Design Is Becoming a Major Proxy for Behavior Change

Several of the strongest postings focus on:

  • Org design
  • Governance
  • Operating models
  • Structural redesign
  • AI-enabled workflow transformation

These functions effectively shape behavior through systems, incentives, workflows, coordination structures, and decision rights.

3. The Insight โ†’ Influence Gap Still Exists

Many postings still emphasize:

  • Listening
  • Communications
  • Learning deployment
  • Stakeholder engagement

But fewer roles explicitly address:

  • How behaviors spread socially
  • Experimentation and prototyping
  • Reinforcement systems
  • Norm shaping
  • Environmental nudges
  • Internalization of change

This remains a major strategic positioning opportunity for Infectious Change Design.


๐Ÿ”ฅ Ready for Infectious Change

A role must clearly combine:

1. Employee Listening

  • Owns or shapes how feedback is gathered (surveys, pulse, lifecycle, qualitative)
  • Interprets data into insight (not just reporting)

2. Organizational Change

  • Owns or drives execution of change
  • Influences how leaders and teams actually operate differently

3. Signals of Real Behavior Change Design

(doesnโ€™t need all, but should show several)

  • Cross-functional influence without authority
  • Focus on adoption, not just communication
  • Iteration, measurement, and adjustment over time
  • Leader behavior, team norms, or system changes
  • Evidence of how change spreads, not just how itโ€™s announced

๐Ÿ‘‰ If all three are present โ†’ Ready


๐ŸŸก Not Yet Ready for Infectious Change

These roles have part of the equation, but not the full system:

  • Strong listening but weak on execution
  • Strong change management but disconnected from feedback
  • Heavy on programs (L&D, engagement, HRBP) without ownership of behavior change
  • Influence is indirect or optional, not required

๐Ÿ‘‰ These are often good rolesโ€”but incomplete systems


โš ๏ธ Proceed with Caution

Vague scope or staffing-driven roles

Transactional work (assessments, reporting, admin)

Little visibility into real influence or outcomes
