• Coordinate delivery across a federated operating model, balancing group standards with local requirements.
• Oversee integrations, data readiness, testing, cutover planning and deployment activities.
• Support change management, training, user adoption and operational readiness.
• Provide clear reporting and governance updates to senior stakeholders and programme sponsors.

About You

• Proven experience delivering complex enterprise technology transformation programmes.
• Strong background implementing ERP, HCM, HRIS, Workforce Management, Scheduling or other enterprise-wide platforms.
• Experience managing large-scale, greenfield implementations in multi-site or multi-business environments.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior operational and executive leaders.
• Excellent planning, governance, risk management and project controls experience.
• Experience working with third-party vendors, systems integrators and implementation partners.
• Ability to bridge operational and technical teams, translating business requirements into successful delivery outcomes.

Desirable

• Experience within transport, logistics, rail, aviation, utilities or similarly operationally complex environments.
• Exposure to workforce scheduling, rostering, optimisation or planning solutions.
• Previous HASTUS experience.
• Experience delivering programmes across multiple operating companies or business units.
