JOB DETAILS:
Role Purpose:
Given the size and complexity of the transformation portfolio at Save the Children, we often identify dependencies that need to be addressed through the creation of sub-projects or come across roadblocks that ultimately could impact the successful delivery of our projects. These if not dealt with result in costly delays and the capacity within the existing management structure is not sufficient to cope with this demand on top of overseeing the team resources and overseeing the projects. Adding to this the fact we have no transformation resource bench often the solution to avoid delays is either adding additional burden to resources already at capacity or bringing in external consultants to plug the gap which are costly and require significant onboarding time before they are fully effective.
The Transformation Interventions Manager sits within the Transformation Delivery department and is responsible for addressing business critical risks and issues across the portfolio. This could be supporting the team to avoid issues becoming significant through targeted interventions relating to design, development or implementation of projects or directly intervening where a critical issue is already impact project delivery. In addition, where capacity allows this role will support the Transformation Development team to develop proposals and initiation documents for potential new projects to ensure they are effectively scoped, sized and reviewed prior to being progressed to the required governance bodies. Once agreed this role as part of the Transformation Development Team will support the effective setup of agreed new projects.
