You’ll also have:

• Experience designing and implementing enterprise-scale operating model, process or service transformation
• Strong knowledge of process architecture, service design, customer journey mapping, service blueprinting and value stream design
• Experience leading complex, cross-functional transformation across technology and operational teams
• Good understanding of process intelligence, process mining and data-led continuous improvement
• Strong senior stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to work across business, technology and architecture teams
• Experience building and leading teams, alongside strong commercial, analytical and strategic thinking
