The opportunity
We're looking for an experienced Transformation Programme Manager to lead a significant business and process transformation initiative focused on creating smarter, more efficient ways of working.
You'll work across business and technology teams to understand current processes, define future-state ways of working and oversee the delivery and adoption of new solutions.
The programme is at an early stage, giving you the opportunity to help shape its direction, establish effective governance and turn transformation opportunities into measurable business outcomes.
AI and emerging technologies will form part of the transformation, but this is primarily a business and process transformation role, not a technical AI position.
Responsibilities
Lead the programme from planning through delivery, adoption and value realisation
Understand current business processes and help define future-state ways of working
Manage programme plans, schedules, milestones and dependencies
Manage programme budgets, forecasts, risks and issues




Establish effective programme governance and reporting
Coordinate delivery across business, transformation and technology teams
Provide programme oversight of technology delivery, partnering with technical leaders responsible for implementation
Drive business change and adoption of new processes and solutions
Manage and influence senior stakeholders
Ensure transformation initiatives deliver measurable business outcomes
What we're looking for
Programme / Project Management: Proven experience leading complex transformation programmes, including planning, governance, budget, schedule, risk and dependency management
Process & Business Transformation: Strong experience assessing and redesigning business processes and establishing future-state ways of working
Change & Adoption: Demonstrated ability to successfully embed new processes, technologies and ways of working
Senior Stakeholder Management: Robust influencing, communication and engagement skills with senior business and technology stakeholders
Cross-functional Delivery: Experience coordinating business, transformation and technical teams to deliver complex outcomes
Navigating Ambiguity: Comfortable establishing structure, priorities and governance in programmes where the solution and operating model are still evolving
Technology-enabled Transformation:



Strong understanding of how technology can enable business and process transformation
Experience with AI-enabled transformation or emerging technologies would be highly regarded, but deep technical AI expertise is not required.
