The Role
We’re offering this role on a 12-to-18-month contract, giving you the opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a key period of change.
This is a hybrid role with our Head Office in Coventry as the main base. We welcome applications from candidates based elsewhere, provided you’re comfortable travelling to Coventry occasionally when the role requires it.
We’re looking for a confident, collaborative Business Partner to join our Business Change team and play a key role in turning business priorities into practical technology, data and transformation outcomes. Sitting at the heart of the relationship between TTD and our operational teams, you’ll help shape the right change at the right time - building trusted partnerships, bringing clarity to complex ideas and making sure improvements land well for colleagues and customers.
As part of Technology & Information, you’ll help give colleagues the tools, insight and support they need to do brilliant work and deliver better outcomes for the people and communities we serve.
What You'll Achieve
- Be the trusted link between operational teams and TTD, building strong relationships that help turn business needs into clear, deliverable change.
- Shape and prioritise small change activity, making sure the right ideas move forward and deliver real value for customers and colleagues.
- Work closely with Portfolio Managers and senior leaders to understand challenges, explore options and create practical delivery plans.
- Produce clear, confident recommendations that bring together benefits, risks, impacts, costs and the case for change.
- Lead agreed technology, data and transformation changes from idea through to delivery, keeping activity on track, on budget and aligned to business priorities.
- Support colleagues through change, helping new ways of working embed successfully and ensuring the benefits are understood, adopted and realised.
