Transformation Project Manager

About this role

Responsibilities

• This is not a traditional project management position. As Transformation Project Manager, you sit at the intersection of operational insight, commercial rigour, and organisational change. You take complex, data-driven analysis from our Supply Chain Operations Analysts and turn it into compelling, fully costed business cases that secure executive approval, funding, and resources.
• Once approved, you own the initiative - end to end, from mobilisation to delivery.
• You are equally at home on the shop floor, in a working group, and in front of a Business Unit Operations Board. You know how to read a room, adapt your approach, and bring people with you - including those who did not ask to be part of the journey.
• This is a senior, autonomous, high-visibility role. You will report directly to the Head of Supply Chain Excellence and represent the function independently at decision-making councils and operational boards. You will be expected to earn that room - and keep it.
• Initiative Delivery
• Upon approval, take full ownership of the initiative through its entire project lifecycle.
• Build and mobilise cross-functional working groups from approved, shared resources - individuals who retain their primary roles and responsibilities.
• Actively protect your resources. Monitor hours, effort, and output to ensure working group members are not absorbed back into their day-to-day roles
