Strategic Organisation Design Lead (12-Month FTC)

Ready to drive transformation at a leading UK Community-focused business? We are searching for an exceptional Organisation Design expert to own a critical, high-impact initiative: fundamentally redefining our operating model and future-proofing our services!

This is a chance to move beyond system implementation and focus entirely on strategic design. Your expertise will directly align people, processes, and systems to deliver significant operational efficiency and key strategic objectives.

The Mission: Design & Impact

You’ll join the People and Transformation Directorate on a 12‑month Fixed‑Term Contract to architect the Target Operating Model (TOM) for a major Workday platform rollout.

• Your core focus is the TOM design, ensuring we realise vital business case savings by streamlining administrative roles and embedding a robust in‑house support model.
• You will collaborate directly with the Executive Board and Senior Leaders to lead the deployment of the new TOM, ensuring a customer‑focused, tiered service delivery approach.
• This is a time‑critical role with Phase 1 Go‑Live set for April 2026 – your impact will be immediate and lasting!

Who We Need: The Essential Expertise

We need a strategic leader with political and business acumen, ready to navigate complex organisational dynamics.

• Essential: Demonstrable experience in developing and embedding Target Operating Models (TOMs) within complex organisations.
• Crucial: Workday experience is a must‑have, specifically embedding Workday TOMs that drive simplified ways of working and excellent 'self‑service' user experiences.
• Skills: Exceptional stakeholder management, strong analytical capabilities, and the ability to track savings baselines and FTEs with precision.
• Contract: 12‑Month FTC (potential for extension).
• Location: Hybrid working (2 days in‑office) – either Hampshire or West London office locations.

If you are a proactive leader ready for a strategic challenge that delivers real change and value, apply today and help us shape the future!
