Job Title
We are seeking an experienced Process Engineer to join a major R&D transformation initiative focused on accelerating development timelines and improving operational efficiency across the organisation.
Role Overview
You will partner closely with process owners, SMEs, transformation leads, and senior stakeholders to redesign, optimise, and implement future-state processes across key R&D pillars.
This role sits within an Agile Transformation Office environment and is ideal for someone who thrives in complex, cross-functional, fast-moving settings.
Key Responsibilities
- Process workshops: Lead sessions with SMEs and process owners to capture requirements, map current-state workflows, and define improved future-state processes.
- Process rewiring: Translate future-state designs into practical ways of working, ensuring alignment with governance owners and updating charters where needed.
- Documentation & templates: Create standardised templates, guidelines, and documentation frameworks to ensure consistency across all assets and candidates.
- BPM tooling: Support process documentation using ARIS, Signavio, iGrafx, or Visio, producing high-quality process maps and maintaining process libraries.
- Change implementation: Act as the bridge between design and execution, defining training strategies, developing materials, and establishing KPI frameworks.
- Gap identification: Identify documentation gaps, inconsistencies, and improvement opportunities, escalating where appropriate.
- Transformation delivery: Support process owners in executing rewiring activities and embedding new ways of working across the organisation.
