Description

Lead Transformation & Portfolio Improvement Manager

12-Month Contract | Group-Wide Remit | Hybrid Working

I’m supporting the search for a Lead Transformation & Portfolio Improvement Manager to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of an ICT function during a period of strategic change.

This is a highly influential role focused on portfolio maturity, governance, operating model design and technology strategy — sitting centrally within ICT leadership and working horizontally across operations, PMO, business engagement and governance.

This role does not manage delivery teams. Instead, it provides structure, challenge, assurance and continuous improvement, ensuring that ICT investment, prioritisation and performance genuinely support organisational strategy.

Key Focus Areas:

Strengthening ICT portfolio management, prioritisation and investment decision-making
Providing independent challenge and assurance on business cases, value for money and delivery risk

Improving visibility across the ICT portfolio (run + change), including funding, capacity, dependencies and risk

Contributing to the development of the Technology Strategy (2026–29) and technical roadmap

Designing a Target Operating Model for the future ICT function

Identifying and shaping “Invest to Save” initiatives (automation, consolidation, data and AI-enabled improvements)

Improving PMO maturity, governance cadence, reporting quality and demand management

Strengthening alignment between change delivery and live operations

Acting as a catalyst for innovation while maintaining proportionate risk and control

What We’re Looking For:

Significant experience shaping or leading ICT portfolio management in a complex or regulated environment
Proven ability to provide constructive challenge to senior leaders on investment, prioritisation and delivery trade-offs
Experience contributing to or developing IT / Digital strategies and technology roadmaps
Strong understanding of governance, assurance and risk management frameworks

Ability to work at pace, influence without authority, and bring clarity where there is ambiguity

Excellent communication, reporting and stakeholder engagement skills

Why This Role:

High-impact, strategic remit
Direct exposure to senior leadership and governance forums
Opportunity to shape long-term ICT direction, not just delivery
Visible outcomes across strategy, structure and portfolio maturity
