Your new role

We are looking for an experienced Interim Head of Change & Transformation to lead a focused transformation of an established Change function within a regulated organisation.

This is not a BAU leadership or people management assignment. You will be brought in with a clear mandate to diagnose what is and isn't working, address immediate delivery challenges, redesign the function and leave behind a stronger, sustainable operating model.

With strong sponsorship from senior leadership, you will have the opportunity to take a critical look at the existing Change function and make a tangible impact across its structure, capability, governance, processes and overall delivery performance.

Key responsibilities:

• Assess the current Change function, including structure, capability, capacity and delivery performance
• Diagnose underlying issues and identify practical opportunities for improvement
• Stabilise and improve portfolio, programme and project delivery
• Design and implement an effective Change operating model
• Clarify accountability, roles, responsibilities and decision-making
• Strengthen portfolio governance, prioritisation and reporting
• Establish meaningful KPIs and management information
• Improve ways of working across Change, Technology and the wider business
• Identify capability and skills gaps and recommend the future requirements of the function
• Navigate legacy processes and organisational resistance while maintaining momentum
• Develop a clear transformation roadmap
  
  

What you'll need to succeed

• Transforming or improving an existing Change, Transformation, PMO or delivery function
• Operating model and organisational design
• Portfolio governance and delivery improvement
• Working across PMO, Programme Management, Project Management and Business Analysis
• Assessing organisational capability, capacity, skills and ways of working
• Influencing and constructively challenging Executive and senior leadership stakeholders
• Combining strategic thinking with a pragmatic, hands-on delivery style
