Sitting within the Transformation Office, this individual acts as the on-the-ground engine of change owning the end-to-end delivery of discrete process transformation initiatives, from diagnostic and design through to implementation and BAU handover.

In this role you will partner with our Global Process Owners, operational teams in our global Client Delivery Centers, Product and Technology, as well as leaders across Client Delivery and in our Lines of Business to define and execute on our plans, in a regulated, client-centric, and compliance-minded environment.

You are highly analytical, exceptionally organized, credible with senior stakeholders, and deeply committed to tangible outcomes. You are energized by complexity and thrive when given a clearly defined mandate and the autonomy to deliver it. You hold yourself and your team to a high standard, and you take pride in building something that genuinely works not just in theory, but in practice. You dont wait to be told what to do next; you diagnose the situation, structure the path forward, and get on with it.

- Lead structured problem-solving across complex, ambiguous challenges breaking down issues, forming and testing hypotheses, and driving to clear, actionable conclusions
- Proactively identify risks and issues; design and implement pragmatic mitigations before they escalate
- Apply analytical rigor and sound judgement to prioritize competing demands and make well-reasoned trade-offs

Stakeholder Management Communication

- Serve as the primary point of contact for all stakeholders related to the assigned transformation initiative
- Build strong, trust-based relationships across business, technology, and operations teams
- Prepare and deliver high-quality reporting and updates to senior leadership, including written program status reports, risk dashboards, and executive briefings
- Navigate differing stakeholder perspectives with diplomacy, ensuring alignment and buy-in at each stage of the program

Team Leadership

- Lead, coach, and develop a team of 1 3 Business Analysts, providing clear direction, structured workstream ownership, and regular feedback
- Foster a high-performance, collaborative team environment with strong analytical and delivery standards
- Model best practice in problem structuring, communication, and stakeholder engagement for the wider team

Change Management BAU Handover

- Design and embed the operating model, processes, controls, and performance metrics needed to sustain transformed ways of working




- Partner closely with BAU teams throughout the initiative to ensure they are equipped, trained, and ready to operate independently post-handover
- Execute clean, structured handovers at program close, including knowledge transfer, documentation, and transition support
