Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role

Are you an expert in driving transformational change? We're looking for a Transformation Manager to lead the seamless transition of our programme from design through to post go-live handover until January 2026.

This is a hands-on operational delivery role, ensuring our new site transitions smoothly from final construction through commissioning, staff training, and into business-as-usual operations in 2025.

In this role, you will be accountable for ensuring all programme workstreams align in their execution plans, managing quality, governance requirements, and strategic oversight. You'll facilitate the successful handover of operations while maintaining high standards of execution, governance, and stakeholder collaboration.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Developing and managing the integrated program plan from design through go-live and support phases
• Manage all program governance including readiness checkpoints, key milestone program checks and quality assurance of all relevant documentation
• Championing change management and effective communications to ensure engagement across the program and impacted stakeholders
• Managing stakeholder relationships and fostering a collaborative work environment.

• Strong leadership skills with proven ability to manage multifunctional teams and stakeholders
• Expertise in risk management, quality assurance, and business improvement methodologies
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder engagement abilities, ensuring collaboration at all levels

You'll ideally combine this with qualifications in PMI (PMP, PMI-ACP), Prince2/Agile, and Change Management, but practical experience counts most.  You'll also have a willingness to travel as required.
