The successful candidate will play a key role in helping the business become more effective, scalable and controlled, supporting major transformation, simplification and organisation effectiveness initiatives.
The role will focus on:
* Organisation design and target operating model delivery
* Translating strategy into clear structures, accountabilities, spans and layers

The successful individual will bring proven experience in organisation design, operating model design or workforce strategy, ideally gained within a complex regulated environment.
They will need strong commercial and financial acumen, with the ability to link structure, cost, productivity and business outcomes. They should also be comfortable operating across both strategic design and practical implementation.
Experience in financial services, wealth management or asset management would be highly relevant, particularly where candidates have supported large-scale transformation, integration, simplification or cost efficiency programmes.
This would suit a structured, analytical and outcome-focused OD professional who can build credibility with senior stakeholders, manage ambiguity, drive clarity and challenge constructively where needed.
