The Change Manager – Day of Operations is responsible for leading the people side of the implementation of a new and common Day of Operations solution (part of a Kinetic wide transformation program Our Tools) across Australia and New Zealand. This role will ensure our people understand the project and program and they fit within broader business strategy, what’s changing, why it matters, and what it means for them.
This role is about making change work in the real world – in depots, on early starts, with drivers, allocators, operations supervisors and depot leaders. Success will be measured by adoption, confidence, and practical use of the Day of Operations solution, not by the quality of slide decks or adherence to a textbook change methodology.
You will work closely with operations leaders, project teams and front-line teams to ensure the solution fits the way Kinetic actually runs day-to-day.
At Kinetic, we don't just move people - we're creating the positive change our planet needs. As a leader in sustainable transport, we're committed to creating cleaner, safer, and greener environments for generations to come.

Established over 45 years ago, Kinetic has grown to become the largest bus operator in Australia and New Zealand, and a global, multi-modal transport network with operations that span across the UK, Europe and Singapore.
We began in 1978 with Melbourne’s Skybus – a cost efficient, reliable airport transfer service. Today, we manage a global network of bus and rail services, with a team of 36,000 dedicated people and 11,000 buses seamlessly moving over 100 million passengers every year.
We’re the trusted operator of urban, regional, school and charter bus services across Australia and New Zealand. We operate 40 per cent of buses in Queensland, a third of Melbourne’s bus network, and almost half of bus services in Tasmania. In NZ, we’re proud to partner with councils in Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and Tauranga.
Our expertise spans continents, operating in five countries across Europe. In the UK, we run the Go Ahead network – alongside joint venture partner Globalvia – which includes the Govia Thameslink rail link, the largest and most complex rail system in the country.
We believe in improving the communities in which we live and operate, and making a positive impact on people’s lives.
We’re removing the diesel buses that emit millions of tons of greenhouse gases every year. We’re putting women up front. And we believe in LGBTQI+ inclusion and the freedom to be your true self.
Governments, airports, businesses, schools and councils count on us every day. You too, can count on Kinetic.
