Business & Technology Transformation Senior Manager in Newbury

Location: Newbury + Hybrid Working

Salary: Excellent basic salary plus bonus and benefits

Working Hours: Full time 37.5 hours per week – Monday to Friday

We believe that through collaboration and connection with our colleagues we can achieve great things. Our hybrid working approach allows our people to work both in the office and at home, providing the flexibility and resources you need to succeed in your role. We don't require you to be in on specific days; instead, we ask people to come into the office 2-3 days each week. You should work with your line manager to understand what their expectations are for you, your specific role and your team.

Build and mobilise the right resources to enact the plan, setting clear direction and empowering teams to deliver, while removing systemic barriers and driving accountability at all levels. Act as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders, influencing direction, investment decisions and long‑term transformation priorities.
