This is a high-impact role at the centre of the Transformation Management Office (TMO), with a clear mandate to bring greater structure, insight, pace and modern ways of working to the function.

• Providing clear, concise and decision-focused insight to senior executives
• Improving the quality, consistency and relevance of transformation reporting and MI
• Establishing robust governance and forward planning across executive forums
• Creating a holistic view of delivery, risks, dependencies, benefits, finances and change
• Tracking executive actions, decisions and commitments through to completion
• Identifying delivery trends, risks, blockers and operating model friction points
• Coordinating across senior stakeholders, Finance, Risk, Change and Technology

We re looking for:

• Strong experience within a TMO, Transformation Office, Portfolio Office, PMO or enterprise change environment
• Proven experience supporting executive committees and senior governance forums
• A track record of modernising and improving established transformation/PMO functions
• Excellent executive reporting and written communication skills
• Strong analytical capability, with the ability to turn complex information into meaningful insight
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills
• A proactive, pragmatic and delivery-focused approach
• Experience within a large, complex or regulated organisation would be advantageous

The key differentiator is the ability to take a traditional TMO and modernise it bringing stronger insight, better governance, improved reporting and a more commercially focused, forward-thinking approach.
