Transformation Manager

ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY

As onX continues to grow, we're evolving how we plan, make decisions, allocate resources, and work together across the business. Making these changes successful requires more than designing better processes and operating models. It requires turning those ideas into practical, sustainable ways of working that teams can adopt.

onX is seeking a Transformation Manager to support the delivery and adoption of operating model initiatives across the organization. This is a hands-on individual contributor role focused on translating transformation priorities into actionable plans, coordinating implementation, and helping teams successfully adopt new ways of working.

You'll own multiple cross-functional initiatives and workstreams from planning through implementation and transition to ongoing business ownership. You'll manage timelines and dependencies, coordinate cross-functional partners, identify and address delivery challenges, and execute organizational change management activities that help improvements take hold.

This role reports to the Director of Enterprise Digital Transformation.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Transformation is a growing function within onX's People & Culture organization, focused on making it easier for teams to work effectively as onX grows. We work across the company to improve how teams operate, make decisions, and get work done—so onX can move faster, focus on what matters most, and make better use of its people, resources, and technology.

Our work sits at the intersection of business operations, technology, and organizational change. We partner with leaders across onX to rethink how work gets done, remove barriers that slow teams down, and introduce better ways of working that can grow with the business. That includes helping onX rethink how work gets done with AI, partnering with our AI and engineering teams so new tools change how teams actually work, not just what they use.

As an early member of this function, you'll have the opportunity to make an impact across onX while helping establish how we deliver change. You'll turn ambitious ideas into improvements that people experience in their everyday work—and help build the practices that make those improvements last.

THE ONX EXPERIENCE

onX is a distributed company with more than 400 employees across the country. We come together regularly to work in person and stay connected through regional basecamps and a culture that balances individual ownership with deep collaboration.

While we move quickly, we’re not a scrappy start-up. We operate with clear goals, structure, and frameworks that guide how we prioritize and execute. Priorities matter. While they may shift, data shapes how we evolve as our business, products, and the world around us change.

Clear priorities and structure don’t limit ownership - they make it possible. You’ll have the autonomy to define your work and make meaningful decisions within clear strategic boundaries. You’ll partner closely with others to solve complex problems and build solutions that scale across teams and platforms. Along the way, you’ll be supported with feedback, tools, and opportunities to grow your craft as you take on new challenges.
