Digital Transformation Programme Manager

Lead a Business-Critical Transformation

I am recruiting for an experienced Digital Transformation Programme Manager to lead a major transformation programme that will redefine how the organisation operates.

This is not a traditional programme management role. The programme is already underway but requires stronger structure, governance, and delivery discipline.

You will take ownership of a transformation spanning Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP (Essential), enterprise data, AI capability, business process improvement, and Legacy system retirement.

Working closely with Executive leadership and senior stakeholders, you will ensure technology investments deliver measurable operational and commercial outcomes.

The Role

As Digital Transformation Programme Manager, you will lead multiple workstreams across technology, process, data, and organisational change.

You will stabilise the current delivery environment, introduce governance and controls, and establish a structured framework for prioritisation, delivery, and release management.

Working with business leaders, system integrators, and consultancies, you will ensure successful delivery and adoption of new ways of working.

This role is focused on delivering business outcomes, not just system implementation.
