You'll be responsible for preparing, enabling and embedding organisational change across all business units. Your primary focus will be ensuring the organisation is fully equipped structurally, culturally and operationally to absorb and optimise strategic change initiatives, delivering maximum impact and sustained benefits.

Work closely with senior business leaders and transformation sponsors to ensure alignment, commitment, and advocacy for strategic initiatives
Act as a trusted advisor on all aspects of change management and organisational readiness for senior leaders and cross-functional teams
Conduct rigorous impact assessments for transformation programmes to identify key risks, dependencies, and readiness issues
Design and deliver targeted training, communication plans, coaching, and resource tools to equip teams effectively for change
Own the change lens on Organisational Design, ensuring the target operating model and capability map drive the required organisation structure
What We're Looking For
Minimum 5-7 years of senior experience leading change management and organisational readiness in large-scale, complex organisations
Proven track record of embedding enterprise-wide change across multiple business units
Professional Change Management accreditation (e.g. Prosci, CCMP, or equivalent)
Experience managing change across multi-site operations with large, diverse workforces
Understanding of 24/7 operational environments and shift-based workforce dynamics

If you're an experienced change leader looking for a strategic role where you can build something from the ground up and drive genuine organisational impact, we'd love to hear from you.
We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.
