Several positions are open across the Group’s strategic pillars, including key areas like Customer Experience, Operations, Digital & AI.

Reporting to a Transformation Business Partner, this role will support the discovery, shaping and delivery of transformation initiatives within the assigned business units and departments, ensuring alignment with the pillar roadmap and the organization’s future vision. The role will help identify and assess improvement opportunities that enhance operational efficiency, customer experience and sustainable business growth.

• Monitor implementation progress with the EPMO, prepare status reporting and support issue resolution, escalating material risks to the Transformation Business Partner
• Track KPIs and benefits with Business Finance and EDA, promoting data analytics adoption to support informed decision making
• Apply change management practices, including stakeholder analysis, communication, training and adoption tracking, to ensure new ways of working are embraced
• Support business stakeholders in the transition from project mode to business-as-usual by embedding improved processes into SOPs with clear operational ownership
• Apply the Group transformation playbook and standards
• Operate within clear boundaries: Strategy sets direction, Transformation orchestrates delivery and value assurance, and business leaders remain accountable for outcomes
