As part of our continued investment in building world-class engineering capabilities, we are seeking a Director, I&D Engineering Transformation & Programs to lead a strategic, multi-country Capability Build programme across the UK, France, and India.
This is a highly visible leadership role responsible for driving large-scale business transformation and organizational change across the Insights & Data business. Working with senior Capgemini executives, business leaders, HR, Finance, Commercial, Sales, and external strategic partners, you will be accountable for defining and executing the roadmap that strengthens our engineering capabilities, accelerates growth, and supports our AI and Data ambitions.

- Own the end-to-end delivery of a strategic Capability Build programme spanning multiple countries, business units, and stakeholder groups.
- Develop and execute the transformation roadmap, ensuring alignment with Capgemini's Insights & Data growth strategy and engineering objectives.
- Lead a cross-functional programme involving HR, Finance, Commercial, Legal, Operations, Sales, Delivery, and Business Leadership teams.
- Translate strategic business objectives into executable workstreams, milestones, deliverables, and measurable outcomes.
- Establish and maintain programme governance frameworks, steering committees, executive reporting, and decision-making processes.
- Serve as the primary interface between Capgemini executives, business leaders, account teams, and strategic technology partners.
- Drive organizational change management activities, ensuring stakeholder engagement, adoption, and successful implementation of programme outcomes.
- Build and manage integrated programme plans, dependencies, risks, assumptions, and resource requirements across multiple workstreams.
- Lead executive-level communications, including board updates, steering committee materials, business cases, and investment recommendations.
- Provide data-driven recommendations to support strategic decisions, prioritization, and issue resolution.
- Manage programme financials, including budget oversight, forecasting, cost management, resource planning, utilization tracking, and investment governance.
- Identify, assess, and proactively mitigate programme risks while ensuring delivery momentum is maintained.
- Establish KPI frameworks and performance dashboards to measure programme success and business impact.
- Drive collaboration across international teams to deliver outcomes consistently and at scale.
- Champion continuous improvement and operational excellence across programme delivery and transformation activities.
- Support the growth of Capgemini's AI, Data, and Engineering capabilities through strategic workforce and capability-building initiatives.
