Job description

About the Role

Engelhart is looking to appoint an experienced and versatile Corp-to-Corp BA/PM to strengthen and expand its Business Change capability, as we embark on a multi-year cross-company transformation programme while simultaneously continuing to grow our business, especially in physical power and gas. The multi-year programme aims to change our core technology architecture and embed a new operating model and ways of working. This will be a long-term C2C contracting position.

This role will sit within our Business Change function but will also work closely with our Business Management team coordinating US change initiatives across Power & Gas. The role will involve coordinating across teams, developing the new operating model and driving process transformation across the organisation. Following the acquisition of Trailstone in 2024, Engelhart has focused on integrating the two companies, whilst simultaneously expanding its business into new and more complex businesses across commodities markets. However, some legacy processes and systems remain. To enable further business growth, Engelhart is embarking on a programme to take its core platform and operating model to the next level.

This C2C BA/PM will work closely with stakeholders across front, middle and back office to challenge existing ways of working, design future‑state processes, and identify pragmatic paths to get there, often enabled by technology, data and automation. This is a business‑led role, acting as a trusted partner to key stakeholders to identify their needs while driving the company change agenda.

This role will involve some travel between our Houston and Stamford offices, and has potential for international travel too.

Responsibilities

• Act as a project manager across multiple change initiatives, including coordinating across multiple teams.
• Partner with stakeholders across front office, middle office and back office teams to understand current‑state processes, pain points and constraints.
• Facilitate workshops and stakeholder discussions to challenge existing ways of working and support teams in defining a clear, forward-thinking future state.
• Lead process analysis and redesign activities, especially with operations teams.
• Identify opportunities to drive the operating model into the future, especially enabled by technology, data, automation or AI.
• Act as a bridge between business teams and delivery functions, especially technology, ensuring that business needs and outcomes remain central.
• Contribute to portfolio management of change initiatives, helping to prioritise work and align improvements with strategic objectives.
• Support the development of Engelhart’s change capability by introducing project management and analysis best practices.
