Leading Hospitality client now requires an experienced Contract Programme Manager to lead a complex divestment programme, covering the carve-out of a business unit and the associated separation of systems, data, and operational processes.
This is a high-visibility role reporting into senior leadership, requiring someone who can bring structure and pace to a fast-moving, multi-workstream separation while managing risk, stakeholders, and third parties throughout.
Key Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end delivery of the divestment programme, from planning through to Day 1 readiness and post-separation stabilisation.
- Lead business separation workstreams alongside IT/systems separation (ERP, POS, HR, finance systems, data migration, TSAs).
- Define and manage the programme plan, budget, RAID log, and governance framework.
- Coordinate cross-functional teams, external advisors, and technology partners.
- Manage Transitional Service Agreements (TSAs) and dependencies.
- Report progress and risks to steering committees and senior stakeholders.
- Ensure regulatory, commercial, and operational continuity throughout separation.
