I'm partnering with a leading UK energy infrastructure business to find their first ever Change Lead.
Recently taken private by a global infrastructure investor, the business is scaling fast: integrating acquisitions, building out new tech infrastructure, and professionalising its operating model as it transitions into a fully integrated energy infrastructure platform powering the UK's net zero ambition.
This is a genuine build role. No established function. No fixed methodology. No inherited team. You'll create the change framework from scratch and own its delivery.
What you'll do
Define and embed a pragmatic PM and change methodology across the business
Own and govern the change portfolio - including a multi-million-pound budget - giving leadership clear visibility of what's being delivered, at what cost, and to what timeline
Assess third-party delivery partners and make the call on build vs. buy vs. partner
Drive adoption and communications, moving the business from reactive, project-by-project delivery to a coherent, owned portfolio of change
Get change done - this is a hands-on delivery role, not a strategy or advisory one
What I'm looking for
10-15 years in change / transformation / programme management, with 3-5 years leading a change function
A track record of standing up change methodology from the ground up (not inheriting a mature one)
Sharp at assessing delivery partners and consultants - you know what good looks like and won't be oversold
Background in infrastructure, utilities, energy, financial services or similarly regulated, asset-intensive sectors
Strong on methodology (PRINCE2, MSP, SAFe or equivalent), an excellent communicator, and comfortable up to Board level
