Background
A new Global Information & Cyber Security Target Operating Model has been defined and approved. The organisation is now entering the implementation phase and requires a dedicated Transition Lead to drive the transformation from design into execution.
This role focuses on organisational transition, operating model deployment, service adoption, workforce transformation, and the establishment of offshore and nearshore delivery capabilities. The successful candidate will help turn an approved target state into a functioning organisation by bringing structure, momentum, and execution discipline to a transformation programme that is still evolving.
This is a delivery-focused role rather than a strategic advisory position. We are seeking a hands-on transformation practitioner who can take ownership, navigate ambiguity, and drive outcomes with limited direction.
Scope of the Assignment
The consultant will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing the activities required to implement the new operating model.
Operating Model Deployment
Develop and maintain the overall transition roadmap.
Coordinate implementation activities across multiple workstreams.
Ensure alignment between organisational design, service delivery, workforce planning, and recruitment activities.
Drive adoption of the new operating model across global and regional teams.
Establish governance, reporting, and performance management mechanisms supporting the target operating model.
Service Catalogue & Service Management
Define, refine, and operationalise the Cyber Security service catalogue.
Support service ownership, service governance, and service management processes.
Develop sizing and demand-management approaches to support workforce planning and capacity management.
Promote adoption of standardised services across the organisation.
Support the transition of services into the target operating model.
Workforce Transition & Organisational Change
Support organisational redesign and workforce transition activities.
Perform role mapping between current and target-state organisations.
Coordinate workforce transition planning in partnership with HR and business stakeholders.
Support stakeholder engagement, communication, and change management activities.
Assist in driving adoption of new ways of working across global teams.
Shared Services, Offshoring & Transition Management
Support the establishment and onboarding of offshore and nearshore delivery hubs.
Coordinate service migrations and transition activities.
Define operating procedures, governance mechanisms, and collaboration models between global, regional, and hub teams.
Monitor transition progress and proactively remove delivery obstacles.
Ensure successful integration of offshore and nearshore resources into operational teams.
Recruitment & Organisation Build
Develop job descriptions and role profiles for the target organisation.
Support candidate screening, interviews, and recruitment activities.
Coordinate hiring plans across global, regional, and hub locations.
Track workforce build-up against approved staffing plans.
Support onboarding and integration of new hires.
Programme Governance
Maintain programme plans, milestones, dependencies, risks, and issues.
Support budget tracking and business case management.
Coordinate with HR, Procurement, Legal, Finance, and external suppliers.
Produce concise executive-level reporting and status communications.
Escalate risks and decision points appropriately while maintaining delivery momentum.
