Our distinction flows from our carefully curated team: 2,500+ professionals characterised by tenacity, ethics and exacting excellence. We hire smart and sharpen smarter, arming talent with best-in-class resources and skills.

The Maples Group looks to add a Cayman (strongly preferred) or UK/Ireland (with frequent travel to Cayman) based Head of Organisational Change Management to our team and invites eager and qualified candidates to apply. We are committed to diversity, inclusion and equality of opportunity as we attract, retain and develop world-class talent.

Our merit-based culture suits professionals in pursuit of boundless careers and lives. Beyond their acumen, team members are collaborative and conscientious, bringing a healthy sense of drive and purpose to each interaction and to all aspects of their work.

The Maples Group is committed to investing in the future of the business and has developed a global operational improvement roadmap to promote operational excellence and support the Group's strategic vision and priorities across all business areas. This roadmap concentrates on three important pillars namely 1) transforming the client experience through the Client Engagement Lifecycle programme 2) creating the workplace of the future and 3) delivering operational excellence through the improvement of our business operations. This role will initially have a greater focus on the business change aspects of the Client Engagement Lifecycle programme – a programme that is currently in flight and seeks to improve the efficiency of our processes and procedures throughout the client engagement lifecycle, from the initial client acceptance process, through time recording, working capital management, billing and cash collection. These improved business processes will be supported by new underlying technology solutions.

However, more broadly, the role will focus on the business change aspects of other programmes within the operational improvement roadmap too.

We are looking for an experienced Organisational Change Management professional to lead our OCM team and drive our enterprise change processes, ensuring an enthusiastic and engaged adoption by the business of our global operational improvement programmes. This role will build an effective bridge between each of our programme's objectives and our business operations.

Working in partnership with the programme teams, the Executive sponsorship across the Maples Group, together with our external Strategic Implementation Partners, the role will focus on the people side of change, including those resulting from changes to our business processes, systems and technology, roles and organisational structures.

The role will focus on fostering faster adoption and higher ultimate utilisation of the changes that affect the ways in which Maples' employees do their jobs. The successful execution of the Change Management strategies and plans will increase benefit realisation, value creation and provide tangible returns on the investment made.
