The focus of this role is on evaluating complex business-wide information to find various solutions that will make a difference across the business. You will need to:  

• Lead a delivery squad and wider stakeholders (hard- and dotted-line reporting) to deliver core workstreams within transformational change programmes.

• Stay aligned to our purpose and the business strategy to drive strategic conversations.

• Scope, design and plan the required change programmes. 

• Problem solve, trial, and stress test changes to ensure they are right for the business, colleague, customer, community, and planet.  
• Drive a focus on the end users and BAU, ensuring changes are designed for adoption to deliver measurable results.  
• Identify organisational performance drivers and collaborate with the wider business to put them in place (e.g. effective KPIs).  

• Deliver measurable results that justify the rollout of changes to the wider business.  

• See the programme through to the bottom line, supporting the change adoption and transition into business as usual (BAU).  

 "Let's find out about you."

• You will relish the opportunity to solve for more than one thing at a time; you will be passionate about analysing data to understand root causes. 
• You will have extensive experience delivering transformational programmes - both complex and multi-functional. 

• You will need the ability to work under pressure, to tight deadlines. 
• You will thrive on bringing clarity from ambiguity.

• You will be able to listen, persuade and collaborate across various functions and will be able to clearly and succinctly articulate key messages.  
• You'll use your ability to engage and influence to ask difficult questions and gain clear answers. 
• You will be focussed on more than tracking and reporting on project delivery - you will have experience of being an integral part of the delivery itself whether this is from a business change, strategy or transformation role within a fast paced, retail focussed business or within a retail facing consultancy.
