This role is a key part of our system and process change programme, working closely with our central project team and UK stakeholders to deliver a smooth and successful cutover.

This is a great opportunity to shape how we transition into new systems and ways of working, with visibility at senior levels and the chance to truly influence success. If you thrive in complex project environments and want to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.

What will you be doing?

* Tackling the complexity of transformation – navigating a multi-site, cross-functional environment to manage dependencies, identify potential risks, and build mitigation plans that support a smooth transition
* Working collaboratively across teams – engaging closely with UK workstream leads, site teams, the central cutover team, and other stakeholders to align plans, ensure readiness, and resolve issues quickly and effectively
* Making a measurable impact on programme success – acting as the single point of contact for UK cutover, managing reporting into the PMO, leading resource planning, and executing the fallback strategy if required
* Learning through hands-on programme delivery – gaining valuable experience in systems and process change, with exposure to leadership-level decision-making and the opportunity to influence how the UK business adopts new ways of working
