Job Title: Transition Lead - Senior Manager, EY GDS

Role Overview:
A project-critical Senior Manager position accountable for driving and managing the end-to-end transition of services in Project Orion, Rio Tinto s Build-Operate-Optimise-Transfer (BOOT) programme. The Transition Lead defines and executes the transition strategy across all phases - from initial Build (knowledge capture) through Operate (stabilisation and optimisation) to final Transfer (handover to Rio Tinto s Global Capability Centre). This role is outcome-focused and hands-on, ensuring every transition milestone and KPI is met while safeguarding service continuity and stakeholder confidence. The Transition Lead orchestrates complex, often challenging transitions,



including potentially hostile or resistant scenarios, by enforcing structured processes (e.g., tollgates at stage boundaries), mitigating risks proactively, and resolving conflicts or escalations swiftly. Unlike a traditional coordination role, the Transition Lead owns the results of the transition - accountable for delivering a fully operational, high-performing offshore capability that can be safely transferred to Rio Tinto. Success means zero disruption to business, retention of critical knowledge, and a satisfied client prepared to adopt the current model.

Key Responsibilities:
- Transition Strategy Planning: Develop and implement a comprehensive transition plan covering Build, Operate, Optimise, and Transfer phases of the BOOT model. Define the transition approach, timelines, and stage-gate criteria for each phase in consultation with Rio Tinto and internal programme leadership. Ensure
