This is a unique opportunity to join a newly created team within Enterprise Change & Delivery and help shape how some of Nest's most important change initiatives are delivered. Working closely with the Strategic Delivery and Partnership Lead, you'll be brought into complex, high-profile challenges that sit across teams, functions and our strategic delivery partner, TCS. One day you might be investigating how and where your expertise will ensure a change programme keeps momentum; the next, you could be analysing operating models, reviewing technical designs, facilitating stakeholder workshops or helping senior leaders make informed decisions on the future direction of delivery. This is a role for someone who enjoys operating at pace and has the drive to get to the root of problems, working across organisational boundaries and turning ambiguity into practical solutions.

If you're looking for variety, visibility and the opportunity to influence how change happens at scale, this role offers all three. You'll work with colleagues across Customer Experience, Product, Technology, Operations and Change, helping improve how Nest and TCS work together to deliver better outcomes for our members. It's an opportunity to apply your business analysis expertise in a broader, more strategic way, combining analysis, delivery insight, stakeholder engagement and continuous improvement to help shape the future of change delivery at Nest.
