Reporting into the relevant JBS Service Owner and working in close partnership with the BE&T Transformation Portfolio team, the Transformation Director will lead a team of Business Analysts and act as the primary interface between JBS operations leadership and the wider delivery ecosystem.

• Accountable for realisation of portfolio outcomes: establish baselines, track metrics, and ensure committed benefits are delivered
• Embed a transformation mindset within operations teams and support development of JBS culture
