Salary: £90k - £95k

Location: Surrey (4 days a week in office)

We're partnering on a confidential search for an experienced transformation leader to join a high-profile EMEA leadership team within a global consumer business.

You'll sit within the EMEA leadership team, acting as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders across multiple geographies and functions. This is a highly visible role with the mandate to challenge existing thinking, influence decision making, and help shape the future operating model.

With responsibility for a team of four direct reports, you'll combine strategic leadership with hands on execution, personally driving critical programmes while developing the capability of those around you.

• Improving the sustainability and effectiveness of end-to-end business processes across EMEA.
• Partnering with senior leaders to prioritise transformation initiatives aligned to strategic objectives.
• Embedding robust governance, performance metrics and continuous improvement routines to ensure lasting impact.
• Leveraging digital solutions, automation and emerging technologies, including AI, to unlock new opportunities and accelerate business performance.
• Building strong relationships across diverse markets and functions to drive alignment and overcome resistance to change.
• Coaching and developing a high-performing transformation team while fostering a culture of accountability, agility and delivery excellence.
• Helping define the future direction of the transformation agenda and broader Global Business Services operating model.

⭐ Why Consider This Opportunity?

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Shape the future of transformation across EMEA.
• Lead programmes that directly impact business performance.
• Drive the adoption of innovative technologies and new ways of working.
• Expand your international exposure and leadership capability.
• Partner with senior stakeholders and challenge conventional thinking.

🔔Essentials
