The Role

This is a senior leadership role with full ownership of the Group's strategic change agenda.

• Monitor the effectiveness of change initiatives, adjusting approach as needed and staying current with emerging change management practice
• Lead, mentor and develop a team of change management professionals
• Identify risks to successful change delivery and build effective mitigation plans
• Own and manage allocated budgets tightly and effectively

• Significant experience as a senior change leader
• Proven ability to lead delivery of a complex, multi-stream change portfolio
• Strong grounding in recognised project methodologies (PRINCE2, PMP, Agile or similar)
• Strong financial acumen, with experience managing significant budgets and commercials
• Track record of building, evolving and running a PMO framework, including governance models and budgetary control
• Excellent leadership, influencing, negotiation and stakeholder management skills
• Exceptional written and verbal communication, comfortable engaging C-suite audiences on complex topics
