As we accelerate our transformation agenda across the business, we're looking for a talented Transformation Office Analyst to play a central role in how we track progress, drive performance, and support strategic decision-making.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the heart of a high-profile transformation programme, partnering with senior leaders and helping deliver meaningful business change across a global organisation.

About the Role

As a Transformation Office Analyst, you'll provide the data, insights, reporting, and governance that enable successful transformation delivery. You'll turn complex operational and project data into actionable intelligence, helping leaders understand performance, identify risks, and make informed decisions.

You will become a trusted partner to transformation workstream leaders, creating visibility across initiatives and ensuring stakeholders have access to accurate, reliable, and meaningful information.

This role combines analytical rigour with business impact. You'll spend time understanding the detail behind the data while maintaining a clear focus on what matters most to the business.

• Monitor milestones, delivery performance, and benefit realisation.
• Ensure reporting standards and governance requirements are consistently met.

Process Improvement and Automation

• Identify opportunities to improve and automate reporting processes.
• Leverage tools such as Shibumi, AI, and automation technologies.
• Reduce manual effort and improve reporting efficiency.

Key Skills and Experience

• Advanced Excel, modelling, and data management skills.
• Experience creating dashboards, reports, and management information.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capability.
