The Lead Transformation Officer is an exciting new role, and we are looking for someone who can drive our transformation agenda by leveraging cutting-edge technology, design thinking, and lean principles and paving the way for a more efficient, agile, and digitally enabled organisation.
The post holder will be responsible for driving business process mapping and optimisation, business transformation, and efficiency improvement initiatives across the council.
This role goes beyond the application of technology or ‘quick fixes’, and instead focuses on reshaping the fundamental ways of working within the organisation, streamlining and reducing heavily administrative and paper-driven processes.
Your expertise in analysing highly complex workflows, identifying business opportunities to transform by using the right technology including automation, and documenting ways of working, will be instrumental in transforming and modernising the council.
