Additional information

The ideal candidate is a structured and pragmatic transformation professional with strong consulting fundamentals, sound business judgement and a genuine interest in process improvement. They are comfortable working with ambiguity, engaging stakeholders, facilitating discussions and converting analysis into practical actions.

They do not need to arrive as a fully established transformation leader. Success in the role will come from taking ownership, producing high-quality deliverables, building credibility with stakeholders and progressively leading larger or more complex parts of engagements. The role is well suited to someone who wants to grow into a broader BPM and transformation leadership position within a global organisation.
