The Process Improvement Lead
The Process Improvement Lead drives structured process definition and improvement, providing the evidence and discipline needed to ensure end-to-end processes are clearly understood, consistently documented, and reflective of how we work as an organisation.
Balancing the rigour of standardisation with the need for purposeful definition and improvement, and ensuring that process design translates into actionable outcomes, with relevant depth of categorisation to allow for role mapping / alignment, metric and KPI definitions and measurement and AI / automation opportunity delivery.
What you’ll do
As Process Improvement Lead, your role is to lead the structured discovery, definition and improvement of end-to-end processes — ensuring that every process is clearly understood, purposefully designed, and built to enable the future operating model. You will:
Process Mapping & Future-State Design (30%)
- Lead end-to-end process discovery and mapping, defining clear boundaries, interfaces, roles, controls and measures
- Facilitate current and future-state process definition workshops, driving alignment and sign-off in line with standardisation principles
- Maintain a consistent mapping methodology, ensuring process designs reflect the required depth of categorisation to support role alignment, metric definition and automation opportunity identification
Process Improvement & Implementation (25%)
- Identify pain points and root causes, translating opportunities (simplification, standardisation, controls, automation) into a prioritised improvement backlog.
- Support delivery through implementation handover, coordinating with IT/data/tooling/change to ensure solutions are feasible, adopted and measurable.
Standards, Documentation & Governance (20%)
- Own process mapping and documentation standards, producing high-quality artefacts including process maps, narratives, RACIs, controls and measures
- Support governance by preparing materials, tracking decisions and maintaining traceability from requirements through to sign-off
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration (15%)
- Partner with process owners, SMEs and transformation workstreams to prioritise scope, resolve design decisions and manage expectations.
- Provide clear progress and risk updates, escalating blockers where required.
Benefits & Continuous Improvement (10%)
- Support the definition of KPIs and baseline metrics, tracking benefits through implementation and into early life
- Capture lessons learned and actively coach others on process mapping and improvement standards
What you’ll need
Essential:
- Experience in end-to-end process discovery, mapping and future-state design (e.g., BPMN) in large, complex organisations.
- Track record delivering process improvements with measurable outcomes (e.g., cost, cycle time, quality and controls).
- Knowledge of BPM, process transformation, standardisation and digitisation best practice (Lean/CI desirable).
- Skilled in workshop facilitation and requirements capture, turning input into clear process artefacts and decisions.
- Able to define process measures/KPIs, support baselining, and track benefits through implementation.
- Strong stakeholder management and influencing across senior business, SMEs, IT and third parties.
- Strong analytical/problem-solving skills; able to find root causes and shape practical, adoptable improvements.
- Delivery discipline: planning, prioritisation and dependency management across cross-functional workstreams.
- Strong communication, able to present to varied audiences and produce implementation-ready documentation.
- Awareness of process interactions with systems, data and controls (integration, data structures, risk/compliance).
- Results-oriented, resilient and adaptable, with a continuous improvement mindset.
- Frameworks/certifications desirable (e.g., ITIL, Lean Six Sigma) and experience in a process lead/owner/improvement role.
