About the role
The Transformation Manager connects globally driven transformation with successful regional execution. The role combines responsibility for one or more assigned enterprise transformations with a regional anchor, ensuring wider transformation requirements are built into source plans and that change lands coherently, practically and sustainably in the region.
You will provide an integrated view of transformation across the region, help enterprise transformations land consistently across markets, and give the Regional SLT clear visibility of priorities, dependencies, risks, decisions, capacity and readiness.
