Director, Transformation Office

As Director, Transformation Office, you will support the Chief Transformation Officer and the enterprise transformation office by driving rigorous program management, executive synthesis, cross-functional coordination, and value capture. This role serves as a trusted and challenging thought partner to pillar sponsors, workstream leaders, and initiative owners-elevating decision quality, strengthening plans, and helping ensure delivery of enterprise value across the transformation portfolio. This role is defined by three core responsibilities:

• Driving transformation performance and value realization across the portfolio,

• Serving as a trusted challenger and thought partner to senior leaders, and

• Translating complex performance data into clear executive insights and decisions.

What you will do

• Serve as a constructive challenger to pillar sponsors, workstream leaders, and initiative owners-stress-testing assumptions and elevating plans to be more ambitious, executable, and aligned to enterprise value

• Operate as a senior extension of the Chief Transformation Officer, reinforcing expectations, driving alignment, and selectively intervening to sustain performance momentum across the transformation

• Drive performance rigor across initiatives by identifying underperformance early, challenging root causes, and ensuring clear actions are clearly defined and owned

• Coordinate across multiple transformation workstreams and functional teams to maintain alignment, sequencing, and delivery discipline

• Support executive governance processes, leadership reviews, and decision-making forums with clear recommendations and actionable insights

• Develop concise executive-level materials, strategic synthesis, and performance updates for senior leadership

• Translate complex transformation performance into clear, concise executive narratives that drive decision-making and alignment

• Track KPIs, milestones, risks, dependencies, and value capture - ensuring outcomes are credible, measurable and realized (not just reported)

• Escalate risks, gaps, bottlenecks, and underperformance proactively to enable timely intervention and decision-making

• Identify and help resolve cross-functional barriers that could slow delivery or reduce impact

• Support prioritization and evolution of the transformation portfolio through data-driven insights, scenario analysis, and clear trade-off recommendations to leadership

• Transformation initiatives are delivered against plan with clear visibility to value, risks, and mitigation actions

• Underperformance is surfaced early, with clear root cause and corrective actions in place

• Pillar sponsors and initiative owners operate with higher rigor, accountability, and consistency

• Executive leadership has clear, concise views of performance and key decisions required

• Cross-functional bottlenecks are proactively identified and resolved before impacting delivery

• The transformation office is viewed as a critical driver of performance-not just reporting
