Creative ITC is seeking an experienced Head of Change
Creative ITC is seeking an experienced Head of Change to establish and lead the organisation's Change function.
In establishing the Change function, the Head of Change will:
- Bring together the various existing change resources into a single, dedicated organisation
- Take overall ownership for successful delivery of Creative’s portfolio of change, comprising both client facing and internal projects including:
- Onboarding of new clients, spanning their Transition, Transformation and full Adoption of services (TTA)
- Projects delivered to existing clients e.g. as add-on work
- Creative’s internal projects
- Establish best-practice project and programme disciplines, both within the Change function and across wider change activity in Creative.
This is a highly visible client-facing role that combines strategic influence with hands-on delivery, requiring someone equally comfortable shaping executive-level change strategy and rolling up their sleeves to support teams through the practical realities of adopting new ways of working. The role will involve working with clients and Creative team members, at all levels, bringing to bear a mix of project, technology and softer skills.
Education and Experience
- Degree educated, or equivalent relevant professional business experience
- 10+ years of project and programme delivery in leadership positions
- Demonstrable experience of leading change across large-scale technology
- Experience within a managed services, IT or technology-led organisation is highly desirable
- Expertise in a range of project delivery approaches including Agile
- Recognised project management/change management qualification (e.g. APMG Change Management Practitioner, or equivalent)
