How you will contribute
You will:
- Integrated Change Plan Ownership: Own, maintain, and govern the Program-wide integrated change management plan - consolidating activities across all FCL and BCL workstreams, tracking milestones, managing cross-workstream dependencies, and proactively identifying and escalating slippage to the Program Change Director.
- Change Governance Framework: Establish and maintain the change management governance framework - defining the cadence, structure, and protocols for change team meetings, steering committee inputs, readiness review forums, and decision-making escalation paths across the Program.
- Reporting & Dashboards: Design and maintain Program-wide change dashboards and reporting mechanisms - providing the Program Change Director and steering committee with a clear, accurate, and timely view of change plan progress, readiness status, adoption metrics, and key risks across all BUs and functions.
- Risk & Issue Management: Own the Program-level change risk and issues log - tracking all change-related risks flagged by FCLs and BCLs, ensuring owners and mitigations are assigned, reviewing the log at the agreed governance cadence, and escalating systemic risks to the Program Change Director with root cause analysis and proposed interventions.
- Standards, Templates & Toolkits: Define, develop, and maintain the change management standards, templates, and toolkits used by Functional Change Leads and BU Change Leads - ensuring consistency of approach, output quality, and ease of use across the team.
- Stakeholder Alignment & Coordination: Facilitate alignment across Change Management Leads, Training Lead, and Communications Lead - coordinating cross-track dependencies, resolving prioritisation conflicts, and ensuring a cohesive and consistent approach to change delivery across all workstreams.
- • Resource & Capacity Planning: Support the Program Change Director in forecasting resource needs, tracking team workload allocation, and identifying capacity risks ahead of key Program milestones - ensuring the change team is resourced and equipped to deliver at pace.
- Meeting & Workshop Facilitation: Coordinate and facilitate key change forums - including the change team's weekly operating rhythm, readiness review meetings, steering committee change updates, and cross-functional planning workshops - ensuring clear actions, owners, and accountability at every session.
- Change Budget Tracking: Support the Program Change Director in tracking and managing the change management budget - maintaining visibility of expenditure against plan, flagging variances, and ensuring financial reporting is accurate and timely.
- Continuous Improvement: Capture lessons learned from each Program phase and deployment wave - identifying what is working, what is not, and embedding improvements into future planning cycles and team ways of working.
- Onboarding & Induction: Own the onboarding and induction process for new members of the change team - ensuring FCLs and BCLs joining the Program are quickly equipped with the context, tools, governance protocols, and ways of working they need to contribute at pace.
What you will bring
A desire to drive your future and accelerate your career and the following experience and knowledge:
- Experience: 6-8 years' experience in a PMO, Program management, or change management role on large-scale, cross-functional transformation Programs - with demonstrated experience running a PMO or governance function for a change management team specifically.
- Integrated Planning: Proven ability to own and maintain a complex, multi-workstream Program plan - tracking milestones, managing dependencies, and reporting status across parallel workstreams at pace.
- Governance Expertise: Track record of establishing and running governance frameworks for large Programs - including meeting cadences, reporting structures, escalation protocols, and decision-making forums.
- Analytics & Reporting: Strong data and reporting skills - experienced in building Program dashboards and using data-driven insights to inform decision-making, track progress, and present status to senior leadership and steering committee audiences.
- Standards & Quality: Experience defining and embedding PMO standards, templates, and toolkits to drive consistency and quality across a distributed change team.
- Stakeholder Management: Ability to coordinate and facilitate alignment across multiple senior leads - managing competing priorities, resolving dependencies, and keeping cross-track collaboration on track.
- Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills - able to distil complex, multi-workstream Program information into clear, concise, and audience-appropriate updates for diverse stakeholders.
- Tools & Systems: Proficiency in Program management tools (MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, or equivalent), collaboration platforms (SharePoint, Teams, Confluence), and data visualisation tools (Power BI, Excel, or equivalent).
- Handling complexity: Comfortable working in a fast-paced, matrixed environment across multiple functions, geographies, and cultures - maintaining structure and rigour even when priorities shift and ambiguity is high.
- System implementation exposure: Familiarity with the specific platform being implemented (e.g. SAP S/4 Hana, O9, Oracle, Salesforce) and the Program governance challenges large-scale system implementations present is highly preferred.
