Head of Commercial Process Transformation

Person specification

As part of the Commercial transformation, the 7 recommendations focus around 3 key areas:

• You will lead the implementation of an Inherent Risk Questionnaire [IRQ] to establish a consistent baseline of third-party risk. You will also be accountable for the implementation and maturity of TPRM processes, ensuring alignment to HMRC policy and regulatory requirements.
• A core part of the role is orchestrating multiple platforms and tools to deliver a joined-up TPRM operating model. You will drive the simplification of complex, fragmented processes and reduce end-to-end cycle times to improve assurance, efficiency, and the experience for our business areas.
• Delivering a more joined-up commercial service with simplified front door entry, easier artifacts to follow and eliminate duplication/hand off across the end-to-end customer journey

You will operate at pace, using data and evidence to make decisions and demonstrate impact to stakeholders, and critically have the skills and gravitas to take non-commercial colleagues with us on this service transformation.

Essential Criteria

• Experience of Commercial Third Party Risk Management/IRQ transformation leading to better business outcomes
• Experience of building new gateways/front doors into the Commercial function across large scale organisations
• Experience of commercial transformation within a large organisation from design through to implementation including strong experience of improving Commercial operating models, processes or services to deliver better outcomes for customers and stakeholders.
• Experience on how AI can be used in a Commercial environment to improve efficiency and outcomes
• The ability to build credibility via strong leadership with and influence senior stakeholders across multiple business areas.
