    • Identify, assess, and manage risks associated with transformation initiatives, ensuring mitigation strategies are in place.
  2. Business Readiness & Stakeholder Engagement
    • Act as a bridge between technical teams and business units, ensuring business needs are represented and addressed.
    • Assess the organisation's readiness for change and develop interventions to ensure smooth adoption.
    • Engage with business leaders, frontline employees, and stakeholders to foster a culture of change and innovation.
    • Develop and execute communication plans that keep all stakeholders informed and engaged throughout the transformation journey.
  3. Hands-on Execution & Delivery
    • Lead transformation projects from initiation to completion, ensuring milestones are met and results are achieved.
    • Work alongside teams to implement new technologies, processes, and operating models.
    • Provide hands-on support and troubleshooting during the rollout of transformation initiatives.
    • Facilitate training, workshops, and coaching to enhance business capability and resilience to change.
  4. Performance Monitoring & Continuous Improvement
    • Define and track KPIs to measure the success and impact of transformation efforts.
    • Continuously analyse the effectiveness of change initiatives and make necessary adjustments.
    • Drive a culture of continuous improvement by identifying opportunities for further enhancement.
    • Gather feedback from stakeholders and end-users to refine change strategies.
  5. Technical Skills
    • Strong knowledge of change management methodologies.
    • Experience in digital transformation, process improvement, and business model innovation.
    • Familiarity with Agile, Lean, and other modern transformation approaches.
    • Proficiency in project management tools and techniques.
    • Understanding of emerging technologies and their impact on business transformation.
  6. Soft Skills
    • Leadership & Influence - Ability to inspire and mobilise teams toward a common goal.
    • Communication & Stakeholder Management - Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal skills to engage with all levels of the organisation.
    • Problem-Solving & Analytical Thinking - Strong capability to analyse complex challenges and develop effective solutions.
    • Resilience & Adaptability - Comfortable with ambiguity and capable of navigating resistance to change.
    • Collaboration & Teamwork - Proven ability to work cross-functionally and drive collective action.

Qualifications & Experience

  1. 10+ years of experience in change management, business transformation, or project management roles.
  2. Proven track record of leading successful transformation initiatives within an organisation.
  3. Experience in stakeholder management across different levels of an organisation.

  7. Experience in working in Agile or hybrid environments.
