We’re looking for a Transformation Manager to join our Transformation team!
The Transformation Manager plays a key independent role within the Transformation team, supporting a portfolio of transformation programmes to move from good intent to confident delivery. This is a hands‑on position suited to an individual who brings structure, pace, and constructive challenge, enabling teams to translate ambition into clear plans, measurable outcomes, and practical delivery actions.
Working across multiple programmes and in close collaboration with stakeholders across the business, the Transformation Manager supports teams in building defined milestones, governance frameworks, RAID controls, delivery routines, success measures, and value cases. The role strengthens consistency, visibility, and momentum across the portfolio, ensuring that activity is aligned with wider transformation initiatives and programmes, while enabling business teams to take ownership and deliver change through the right balance of support, challenge, and practical guidance.
This role is based out of our Warwick office; we’d hope to see you at least 2 days per week, but you’re welcome to be in the office more often if that would work best for you. We’re happy to discuss any additional flexibility in working patterns or requirements that you feel could help to make this job work for you!

- Confident stakeholder engagement and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence, challenge and support business teams constructively and build trusted working relationships.
- Understanding of portfolio delivery principles, programme governance and the importance of critical path and dependency visibility.
- Ability to connect programme activity with wider transformation priorities, identifying opportunities to align plans, share insight and avoid duplication across related initiatives.
