We are seeking a Strategic Transformation & Implementation Specialist to play a key role in driving the implementation of a major business transformation roadmap within a large, complex public sector organisation.

Working within a newly established Transformation Management Office (TMO), you will translate an approved Business Transformation Plan into a practical roadmap with defined dependencies, deliverables, and milestones. This role will suit a hands-on transformation professional who thrives in environments requiring structure, alignment, and the establishment of new frameworks and governance models.

  • Prepare and support governance and reporting materials for executive and steering committees.
  • Identify and manage risks and interdependencies to ensure successful delivery of strategic objectives.
 
About You

You will bring:
  • Strong knowledge of program and project management methodologies (e.g., PRINCE2, MSP, Agile, P3O).
  • Proven experience in developing governance frameworks and prioritisation models within transformation programs.
  • Demonstrated ability to operationalise strategy into actionable implementation plans.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence and build alignment.
