Role Overview
The Head of Transformation is responsible for delivering organisational change within our current business and future acquisitions.

Key Skills:
* Be able to demonstrate strong leadership skills with the ability to manage and motivate a team.
* Excellent communicator with stakeholder management skills.
* Can take on multiple projects from inception to completion.
* Experience in rebranding and contract mobilisation would be beneficial.
