Business Process Transformation Lead

Save job

A leading organisation is seeking a Business Process Transformation Lead to champion technology-enabled transformation initiatives across the business. This role offers you the opportunity to drive meaningful change by reengineering and optimising processes, working closely with diverse teams and external partners to deliver scalable digital solutions. You will be at the heart of shaping future-state processes, leveraging automation and digital technologies.

What you'll do:

As a Business Process Transformation Lead, you will play a pivotal role in driving technology-enabled change throughout the organisation. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve partnering with business stakeholders to uncover pain points and opportunities for improvement. You will facilitate workshops to map out current processes and design future-state workflows that are scalable and aligned with strategic goals. By collaborating closely with technology teams and external vendors, you will translate these designs into robust digital solutions that enhance operational efficiency. Your expertise in automation will enable you to prioritise workflow orchestration projects that deliver tangible value. You will also establish governance frameworks to ensure consistency across all transformation initiatives while fostering stakeholder alignment through clear communication. Success in this role requires a blend of analytical skills, commercial acumen, empathy for stakeholder needs, and a commitment to continuous improvement. You will be instrumental in monitoring project progress, managing risks, supporting vendor relationships, tracking value realisation metrics such as productivity gains or cost reductions, and identifying further opportunities for enhancement.

  • Lead comprehensive business process transformation projects across various business units, ensuring alignment with organisational objectives and sustainable outcomes.
  • Analyse current processes to identify inefficiencies, then facilitate discovery workshops, process mapping, root-cause analysis, and design future-state workflows.
  • Challenge existing ways of working by developing innovative approaches that leverage technology for optimisation and standardisation.
  • Translate complex business requirements into actionable process and technology transformation initiatives that deliver measurable results.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify, digitise, and transform processes using emerging technologies in collaboration with solution architects and technology teams.
  • Provide expert input into solution design discussions, workflow architecture, and system integration to ensure seamless implementation of new processes.
  • Prioritise workflow automation opportunities by defining requirements, guiding design, orchestrating integration needs, and supporting adoption across relevant functions.
  • Drive process standardisation by developing frameworks, methodologies, governance practices, and promoting best practice reuse across markets or units.
  • Partner with senior stakeholders to understand pain points, facilitate workshops for requirement gathering, influence adoption of new ways of working, and manage competing priorities.
  • Oversee delivery of transformation initiatives from discovery through implementation by coordinating project teams, vendors, monitoring scope, timelines, risks, and acting as escalation point.

What you bring:

To excel as a Business Process Transformation Lead you should bring extensive experience in driving large-scale transformation projects within complex environments. Your academic background in information systems or related disciplines equips you with foundational knowledge while your hands-on experience ensures you can navigate both technical details and broader strategic considerations. You possess deep familiarity with process analysis tools—mapping workflows accurately—and are adept at designing future-state operating models that align with organisational goals. Your ability to bridge the gap between business needs and technological capabilities sets you apart; you understand how digital platforms can be leveraged not just for automation but for genuine operational improvement. Your interpersonal skills allow you to build trust among stakeholders—facilitating productive workshops—and your vendor management experience ensures smooth delivery of solutions. You are comfortable evaluating technology options based on scalability or integration potential while maintaining focus on commercial outcomes like productivity gains or risk reduction. Consulting exposure adds further depth to your profile enabling you to advise on best practices across different industries.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Business, Engineering, Management or related discipline is required for this position.
  • At least 8 years’ experience in business process transformation or related fields such as technology transformation or digitalisation is essential.
  • Proven track record leading technology-driven transformation initiatives from assessment through implementation within large organisations.
  • Strong understanding of process analysis techniques including mapping current workflows, redesigning future-state models and aligning them with business objectives.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex requirements into practical technology-enabled solutions that address underlying challenges rather than simply automating existing tasks.
  • Experience working with workflow automation platforms such as Camunda, Pega, Appian, IBM BPM/BAW, Microsoft Power Automate, UiPath or ServiceNow is highly advantageous.
  • Exposure to Kube Workflow or equivalent orchestration platforms would be beneficial for this role.
  • Solid grasp of systems integration principles and how digital platforms can support end-to-end business processes across multiple functions or markets.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills including facilitation of workshops for requirement gathering and influencing adoption of new ways of working among diverse groups.
  • Experience managing external vendors or implementation partners including overseeing Statements of Work (SOW), deliverables releases and enhancements.
