  • Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders across business, technology, operations, finance, and external partners.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify processes, improve operating models, and accelerate digital adoption.
  • Support the SVP of Technology & AI in organisational design, capability building, and the transition towards stronger internal technology ownership.
  • Challenge delivery plans, resolve escalations, and ensure accountability for outcomes.

Required Experience and Skills

  • Significant senior-level experience in digital transformation, technology strategy, portfolio management, or enterprise transformation.
  • Demonstrated experience managing complex, multi-workstream transformation programmes in large organisations.
  • Strong business case development, portfolio prioritisation, financial governance, and value-realisation expertise.
  • Experience engaging with executive leadership and influencing senior business and technology stakeholders.
  • Strong knowledge of transformation governance, operating models, risk management, and benefits tracking.
  • Ability to operate strategically while remaining hands-on with execution and problem-solving.
  • Experience in industrial, manufacturing, engineering, or asset-intensive environments is highly desirable.

Preferred Background

  • Strategy consulting, transformation consulting, or senior enterprise transformation leadership.
  • Experience in technology operating-model redesign, capability insourcing, or rebuilding internal delivery functions.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
