Pivotal executive remit leading the delivery of the transformation programme for our rapidly expanding organisation.

As part of the Executive Leadership Team, the Transformation Director will lead the Transformation Office which oversees the delivery and success of the organisation-wide programme of transformation, providing support across all aspects of the business – people, processes, practices, systems, communication, engagement and project methodology and delivery.

Collaborating with our external transformation consultants initially,  you will work alongside your direct reports, leaders across the organisation and external stakeholders to create and implement a transformation roadmap with clear outcomes, milestones and goals, and ensure these are delivered.

This will include providing strategic guidance and direction at a senior level to the organisation’s leadership, reporting to both the Executive Leadership Team and Advisory Board.

For this key role, you will offer:

  • Significant experience of delivering transformation in a medium-sized organisation, ideally in the public sector;
  • Extensive successful experience of programme management, delivering multiple projects on time and to budget;
  • A track record of leadership and management including senior staff in both vertical and matrix structures;
  • The ability to deal with uncertainty, conflict, complexity and risk, adopting flexible approaches and behaving with agility, navigating a path through to successful outcomes; and
  • Exceptional communication skills, including the ability to influence and negotiate at all levels.

In addition to the salary offered, we also offer a range of other benefits including a commitment to a healthy work / life balance, including a 35 hour working week.

It’s an exciting time to join us and to contribute your skills to the evolution of this ambitious, influential and growing organisation.
