We’re partnering with a growing organisation within Financial Services undergoing a significant transformation programme, focused on embedding new ways of working enabled by AI, data and modern technology.

This role is critical in ensuring that redesigned solutions are successfully deployed, adopted and embedded across the business.

  • Define and track adoption metrics and benefits realisation

  • Partner closely with project teams and stakeholders to ensure successful delivery


What you need
  • Strong track record delivering change within complex transformation programmes

  • Experience managing:

  • Readiness

  • Training

  • Transition to BAU

  • Ability to influence senior stakeholders and operational teams

  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments


Why join?
