If you know that delivering great technology is only half the challenge, and you love bringing the technical and people sides of change together to make things happen, this exciting role could be for you!
Does this sound like you?
You have a strong background in organisational change management, with plenty of experience delivering complex technology-enabled change. You're technically savvy, comfortable working alongside architects, developers and technical delivery teams, and have a knack for translating complex technical concepts into things that make sense to the people who need to use them.
You're a natural problem solver who enjoys connecting the dots between people, processes and technology. You understand what it takes to get complex projects over the line, and you're just as comfortable working through technical dependencies and implementation challenges as you are engaging and influencing stakeholders at all levels.
Your personal sense of responsibility is one of your key strengths, and you really care about the quality of your work. You're collaborative and enjoy working independently, and at the same time you thrive being part of a supportive team of specialists. You're comfortable taking initiative, navigating ambiguity and juggling competing priorities.
You love sinking your teeth into a varied role with interesting challenges to solve, and get real satisfaction from seeing things come together. You're a great communicator who is friendly, proactive and flexible. You're the kind of person who rolls their sleeves up to help get the job done. You're kind, naturally people-focused, act with integrity and empathy, and show care for the folks you work with.
In return, you'll be an important member of a team helping our client modernise critical technology systems and improve the way they deliver services. You'll work across complex digital transformation initiatives, bringing together technical delivery teams and business stakeholders to help ensure new systems, processes and ways of working are successfully implemented and adopted.
You'll have the opportunity to contribute to large-scale, meaningful transformation work, build relationships with a diverse range of specialists and help turn complex technical changes into practical outcomes for the people and teams who rely on them.
