This isn't a standard delivery role.
It's an opportunity to be part of a major transformation initiative that is reshaping how large-scale, global operations are executed - with a clear focus on efficiency, sustainability, and long-term impact.
We're looking for a driven and organised individual to support the delivery of a complex, multi-year transformation programme. You'll work closely with senior leadership and cross-functional teams to help drive meaningful change across operations, logistics, technology, and ways of working.
If you enjoy working at pace, navigating complexity, and seeing tangible results from your work, this role offers a unique and rewarding challenge.
The Programme
This initiative is focused on fundamentally rethinking how operations are planned, delivered, and supported.
It involves reducing reliance on traditional approaches, optimising logistics and workflows, and embedding more efficient, sustainable ways of operating.
This is a programme with real scale, real visibility, and real impact.
The Role
You'll take ownership of multiple workstreams within a broader transformation programme, helping to ensure initiatives are clearly defined, well-structured, and delivered successfully.
Working closely with senior stakeholders, you'll bring clarity, coordination, and momentum to a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift and complexity is the norm.
What You'll Be Doing
Driving Delivery Across Workstreams
Take ownership of several concurrent initiatives, ensuring progress stays on track and aligned to overall programme goals.
Provide clear, structured updates to senior stakeholders, highlighting progress, risks, and key decisions.
Shaping and Structuring Initiatives
Work with senior stakeholders to define scope, deliverables, timelines, and resource requirements.
Ensure all activity is aligned with governance processes and strategic priorities.
Connecting Teams and Maintaining Alignment
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure everyone is working toward shared outcomes.
Act as a central point of coordination, helping to manage dependencies, remove blockers, and maintain momentum.
Managing Risk and Complexity
Identify risks and issues early, implement mitigation plans, and escalate where needed.
Bring a structured and proactive approach to handling change in a fast-paced environment.
Tracking Progress and Performance
Monitor delivery through KPIs and provide insight-driven updates to support decision-making and continuous improvement.
Supporting Broader Transformation
Contribute to identifying and implementing wider transformation opportunities, helping ensure long-term success as initiatives transition into business-as-usual.

Experience
- Proven experience delivering complex initiatives in fast-paced environments
- Strong track record of managing shifting priorities, timelines, and competing demands

- Strong planning and delivery capability, from initial scoping through to execution
- Excellent stakeholder engagement, including working with senior audiences
- Solid experience managing risks, issues, and dependencies
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

- Confident communicator, able to present clearly and effectively
Personal Attributes
- Highly organised, with a structured and methodical approach
- Collaborative and approachable, with strong interpersonal skills
- Resilient and composed in high-pressure environments
- Adaptable, able to respond to changing priorities and evolving needs
- Proactive, with a focus on delivering outcomes
Qualifications (Beneficial, Not Essential)

- Relevant certification in delivery or programme disciplines
Desirable Experience
- Experience working across complex portfolios or multidisciplinary teams
- Exposure to logistics, operations, or engineering environments
- Familiarity with tools such as MS Project, Visio, Power BI, Excel, and PowerPoint

Why Consider This Role?
Because this is more than just delivering initiatives.
It's about being part of a transformation that is rethinking how large-scale operations are run - improving efficiency, reducing impact, and driving long-term change.
You'll work closely with senior leaders, influence key decisions, and see the direct impact of your work across a high-performance environment.
If you thrive on complexity, enjoy working at pace, and want to be part of something meaningful, this is a role worth exploring.
