- Define business requirements, process designs and technology needs, working closely with technology and analytics teams.
- Drive cross-functional alignment across Commercial, Operations, Finance, HR and Technology functions.
- Facilitate executive workshops and governance forums to support decision-making and prioritisation.
- Deliver practical improvements in the short term while building sustainable long-term capabilities.
- Ensure successful handover of processes, documentation and ownership into business-as-usual teams.
About You

- Significant experience leading complex, enterprise-wide transformation programmes.
- Proven success designing and implementing target operating models or large-scale process redesign initiatives.
