Joseph Rowntree Foundation
York, North Yorkshire, UK
About the role:
This is a brand new opportunity to lead and shape business change right across our organisation , in both JRHT and JRF as well as the corporate support areas. Working in close collaboration with the operational teams to identify what processes work well and how these can be replicated across JRF/JRHT and to improve the systems and processes that don’t. You will work closely with the Project Management Office and technology business partners to lead and deliver change in tandem with the relevant business teams.
Significant change is happening in all parts of the organisation and whilst the backdrop and reasons for the change vary, there is a universal need to improve and modernise JRF and JRHT.
The immediate focus will be JRHT, where the priority is to deliver improvements in our outcomes and ways of working to reduce operating costs/increase income in line with 2019-20 financial plan commitments - through reviewing and modernising ways of working and making the best use of technology.
Within JRF, the transition to an outcomes focused operating model aims to modernise what we do and how JRF does it. As part of this, teams will embrace new ways of working including matrix working, technology, innovation and design thinking to deliver on outcomes.
About you:
It goes without saying that you will be adept at building and maintaining robust working relationships based on collaboration and a willingness to make a difference. You will possess strong leadership skills and be able to communicate effectively and influentially at all levels within the organisation , being able to flex your approach to win buy-in from a range of different stakeholders.
Your approach to transformation and change will be a given for this role and this will be coupled with a resilience and determination to pro-actively push the change agenda against a back drop of challenging performance targets.
Commercially astute you will also have the experience and credibility to inspire and motivate others whilst having a range of project management skills at your fingertips.
This represents a rare opportunity to be at the spearhead of our transformation and change agenda and if you think you fit the bill we would love to hear from you.
