To support this ambition, we’ve launched a comprehensive transformation programme that touches every area of FH&B, with clearly defined workstreams, owners, objectives, KPIs and roadmaps. As the programme moves into mobilisation, we’re focused on building strong execution readiness across the business.
Finalising detailed delivery plans and governance structures
Mobilising cross-functional teams and embedding new ways of working
Establishing a Transformation Management Office to coordinate delivery and track value realisation
As Change Manager, you’ll play a critical role in helping us land this transformation successfully. You’ll ensure programmes are aligned to our business goals, that teams are ready and prepared for change, and that new ways of working are embedded effectively and efficiently. Working closely with communications colleagues, you’ll help bring people with us through clear, engaging and well-timed communications delivered in the M&S way.
Due to high interest, this role may close earlier than advertised. We recommend applying as soon as possible.

Your key accountabilities will include
- Working across the FH&B function, managing stakeholder relationships, building up a solid knowledge base of the opportunities within the business
- Understanding current business process, challenges and opportunities, taking an innovative lens to identify opportunities to streamline, enhance and reduce cost, always ensuring the outcome adds business value. Utilising this knowledge to effectively drive the change impact and management process
- Working alongside the Transformation Leads supporting and influencing the delivery roadmap to ensure business adoption, change impact awareness and business readiness are thought out in a timely manner, not disrupting or slowing down roadmaps, rather delivering at speed – taking the organisation with us.
- Working with the Adoption Manager to identify upskill requirements in line with the needs of the Transformation program. Supporting with the build of materials, organisation of upskill sessions, communications and tracking of attendance and business readiness.
- Utilising the Change Management toolkit to bring consistency and effectively capture change impacts, stakeholder map, manage risks and issues, track business readiness and adoption.
