FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking a Transformation Mobilisation Lead
FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking a Transformation Mobilisation Lead to work for our client within the sector. This is initially a 3 month contract with the potential to extend and will be a hybrid role that will be based in London.
Our client is mobilising a major SAP S/4HANA-led transformation spanning multiple programmes and workstreams. This role creates the connective tissue across the transformation: the integrated plan, the decision-making machinery and the board-ready stage gates needed to enter Detailed Design with confidence.
This role sits above and across the individual programmes, providing incremental senior capacity to the transformation leadership team during mobilisation.
Responsibilities
- Integrated interdependency and critical path model
- Identify and map cross-programme interdependencies, interconnections and milestones.
- Build and maintain the critical path across the transformation, with a dependency log covering ownership and mitigation.
- Cross-enterprise initiative oversight
- Oversee delivery of enterprise-wide design initiatives (e.g. Product Hierarchy, Customer Hierarchy, Standard Unit of Measure).
- Provide governance-aligned delivery plans, decision tracking and risk management for each initiative.
- RAPID decision-making framework
- Design and roll out a RAPID (Recommend, Agree, Perform, Input, Decide) framework to enable faster, clearer, more accountable cross-programme decisions.
- Integrate the framework with existing governance forums (design authorities, PMO, SteerCo), including decision rights, templates and escalation pathways.
- Support adoption through training, communications and embedded support over the first governance cycles.
- Detailed Design stage gate (board-ready)
- Define objective, measurable entry and exit criteria for the Detailed Design phase, spanning business, technology, data, delivery, finance and governance dimensions.
- Produce the stage gate approval pack and readiness assessment model, and secure SteerCo / Board sign-off.
