This role requires a minimum of two days per week onsite at Enfield Civic Centre, working closely with colleagues, stakeholders and services across the organisation.

The Opportunity

You’ll work closely with Directors, Heads of Service and operational teams to improve processes, increase efficiency and help the organisation deliver better outcomes for residents. At the same time, you’ll build the capability of a team of Business Analysts and Change Managers who play a critical role in delivering change across the council.

Salary

The salary range reflects the full grade for the role. Successful candidates will normally be appointed at the bottom of the MM2 scale (£57,375), with opportunities for progression through the grade over time, subject to performance and organisational requirements.

What you’ll do

• Lead and develop a team of Business Analysts and Change Managers.
• Partner with services across the council to identify opportunities for improvement and transformation.
• Drive the successful adoption of digital, data and AI-enabled ways of working.
• Lead business change and service improvement initiatives that deliver measurable outcomes.
• Ensure benefits are realised from transformation programmes and digital investments.
• Build strong relationships with stakeholders, partners and suppliers.
• Champion user-centred, evidence-based improvement.
• Support services to redesign processes and deliver sustainable change.
• Provide leadership, challenge and support to teams delivering transformation.

About you

You’re an experienced change, transformation or service improvement leader who enjoys working with people, solving complex problems and delivering lasting outcomes.

You'll bring:

• Experience leading teams that deliver business change, digital transformation or service improvement.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills.
• A track record of delivering measurable outcomes and benefits.
• Experience building high-performing teams and developing people.
• The ability to communicate effectively with audiences ranging from frontline teams to senior leaders.
• Experience working across organisational and professional boundaries.
• Excellent presentation, facilitation and communication skills.
• A collaborative approach and a passion for helping organisations embrace new opportunities through digital, data and technology.

Why Enfield?

We are investing in digital, data and AI to improve services, increase productivity and create better outcomes for the communities we serve.

This role offers the opportunity to work across every area of the organisation, influence change at scale and help shape how public services evolve in the years ahead.

You’ll join a team that believes technology is only part of the answer. Success comes from understanding people, improving processes and helping organisations adopt new ways of working with confidence.
