About the Role:

DY|DX digital has been helping companies transform their operating models to "
make work work better

" for more than 15 years. We design new processes that utilise technology to help companies make their ways of working more efficient, implement the technology in organisations and help them adopt that change. 

Whether it's automation or AI-based systems, people are critical in making systems actually work to deliver the end results. Change is hard, requiring learning new skills and processes. This job is all about helping people successfully make the transition to new systems and evolve those systems as the workplace changes. 

As a junior change specialist you will work with a group of clients and an internal team. You will gain deep insight into emerging technologies and the workflow processes that they are using and help implement the change plan to achieve adoption. 

This is a junior role and will be a good fit if you have up to three years of work experience in supporting change management activities, ensuring that new processes, tools, and updates are smoothly adopted and sustained.

Key Responsibilities:

• Direct contact with end users, training teams and new users on how to follow new processes and use the systems.
• Supporting change management activities, ensuring that new processes, tools, and updates are smoothly adopted and sustained.
• Reactive and proactive support to user issues
• Issue analysis, root cause determination and next actions
• Determining training topics through routine problem diagnosis and resolution.
• Escalating technical issues to the support team while liaising with them to drive resolution.
• Learning low-code development and systems concepts to empower you in analysing and explaining issues.
• Performing testing of systems when new functionality is released, with a focus on user experience and impact.
• Providing input into new workflows and system changes based on your experience with users and their challenges.
• Ensuring a positive user experience by empowering people with the skills and knowledge to use processes and systems confidently, thereby helping drive adoption and change resilience.
• Balance technical feasibility and behavioural change strategies for optimal solution effectiveness i.e. that is not just usable but used.
• Translate complex technical solutions into accessible language for clients and internal stakeholders.
• Develop and maintain detailed documentation of requirements, solution designs, and implementation plans.
• Ensure alignment of proposed solutions with clients' business objectives and growth strategies.
• Deliver high quality outcomes by working with the teams across the entire process to manage for successful implementation.

You would be a good fit for this if you:

• Enjoy helping to empower and upskill people:
• Have 1-3 years experience in related roles (training, support, low-code, consulting)
• Are a trainer who can explain things in a simple, easy to understand way
• Understand change management principles and can support individuals and teams through transitions
• Are a  patient person with soft skills including composure, adaptability, empathy, intuition, common sense, positive attitude and stress resistance
• Are a good communicator and even better listener
• Are a problem solver that likes puzzles and following breadcrumbs across activity centres on systems to figure out what transpired, what went wrong and what training will be required to prevent the issue going forward.
• Are interested in low-code tools and processes or are code-curious. You don't have to be a developer or want to be a developer, but there is a lot you can learn
• Are deeply analytical - you understand how to approach a problem and spot trends of similar challenges for which training and communication can be put in place.

What a day could look like:

• Testing new system functionality and preparing relevant
  training and change management materials

.
- Proactively engaging with lagging projects to increase adoption.
- Providing input into new workflows and system changes based on your experience with users and their challenges.
- Identifying training or change support required for specific issues.
- Participating in design meetings to help solve challenges and develop new solutions based on observed insights of behaviour
- Reviewing the support log (average 25–45 tickets/day) and triaging queries.
- Booking one-on-one sessions with users to provide hands-on guidance.
- Escalating complex technical issues to the support team and updating users.
- Conducting end-user and team training sessions on preventing recurring issues.
- Participating in design meetings to help solve challenges and develop new solutions
- Drafting a weekly support and change report that includes:
- - Volume and type of queries
- - Key behaviour insights and recommended training or change interventions

What you will get paid:

Salary: R24,000 - R30,000 depending on experience.

Serious stuff

Reporting: You will report into the project leads for the clients they are working on.

Work hours: Queries come in between 9:00 - 17:00, Monday to Friday. You will be expected to be available  to offer support in a timely manner when required. Some technical releases and testing needs to happen after hours or over weekends when users aren't on the system. 

Office: This is a remote-first position, but there are times where clients may need in-person support and training at their offices. We have flexible shared workspaces subscriptions for those that would like to go somewhere to work. You don't have to go there unless you need or want to.

Catering: If you are working from a shared workspace or meeting up with a colleague or client – coffee, lunch, snacks are a company expense. 

Qualifications: We like working with people who have done something interesting, who have tried something big and failed (or succeeded – that's also fine). A degree is preferable, we don't care in what field, but not essential.

Leave: In principle, you can take as much leave as you want. You are responsible to get things done though – so make sure you plan around it OR, just do a working holiday (i.e. go away but work for a couple of hours so support queries get a response timeously). We pay out your regulated leave every month either way. 

KPIs/OKRs: We figure out with you on a quarterly basis what needs to be done that is really important. That becomes your project for the quarter along all the other systems. If you do your job really well, you will end up automating/improving your processes so that they take up less time and you can find something else to do.

Career: With experience you may end up leading projects and consulting on others, being responsible is not more important than doing great work. You can get new roles, broaden your responsibilities and new challenges the more you prove yourself. Salaries go up as you get more responsibility and can deliver better quality work.
