Description
We are seeking a forward-thinking Transformation Programme Manager to join our dynamic team. This is a standalone role with a big remit: driving strategic change, embedding Key Value Driver (similar to the concept of OKRs), and helping our business execute on its ambitions with clarity and impact.
If you're commercially astute, people-focused, and thrive in environments where transformation and agility are the norm, this could be your next big step.
What You'll Be Doing
1. Lead the delivery of transformation projects aligned to key strategic objectives, with a strong focus on OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) and measurable business outcomes.
2. Work closely with senior leadership to identify, assess, and steer opportunities for operational and strategic improvement across the organisation.
3. Select and apply the right project management methodology (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid) based on project needs with a strong focus on results over process.
4. Continuously adapt and improve our strategy execution framework as well as support it becoming part of our Footasylum DNA step by step.
5. Support initial administrative and coordination tasks, with clear scope to evolve the role into a more strategic and leadership-driven position as transformation matures.
6. Track and report progress, ensure visibility of delivery milestones, and maintain accountability across teams and stakeholders.
7. Balance the hearts and minds approach inspiring teams and championing the change with a commercial focus, ensuring projects deliver real, tangible value to the business.
8. Collaborate with cross-functional teams and enable a performance culture rooted in clarity, purpose, and outcomes.
We're Looking For Someone Who
1. Has demonstrable experience in project or programme management, ideally in a transformation or change-focused environment.
2. Brings a consulting background or has worked directly on transformation initiatives involving OKRs, KVDs (Key Value Drivers), or similar frameworks like any form of agility at scale.
3. Understands the rhythm and scale of a business like Footasylum, ideally with experience in fashion, retail, or a fast-paced consumer-facing environment.
4. Is confident working autonomously in a standalone role but equally comfortable influencing senior stakeholders and facilitating collaboration.
5. Possesses strong communication, storytelling, and stakeholder management skills, being a real hearts and minds leader who connects strategy and people.
6. Is adaptive, hands-on, and comfortable wearing multiple hats as the role evolves from foundational work to more strategic transformation leadership.
7. Bonus points for certifications in PRINCE2, Agile, Waterfall, or similar frameworks.
