We're looking for an experienced Transition Director to lead a large-scale technology services transition for a major enterprise organisation. This is a high-profile transformation programme focused on moving from a complex multi-supplier environment to a modern, integrated operating model.

You'll be responsible for leading the end-to-end transition strategy, ensuring critical services are transferred safely while driving improvements in operational efficiency, governance and service quality from day one.

Key Responsibilities
Lead the overall transition strategy, governance and delivery across multiple technology service towers.
Develop and manage integrated transition plans, milestones, dependencies, readiness assessments and cutover activities.
Coordinate incumbent suppliers, delivery partners and internal stakeholders throughout the transition lifecycle.
Ensure knowledge transfer, shadowing, reverse shadowing, dual running and service acceptance activities are completed successfully.
Protect live service throughout transition, proactively managing risks, issues and dependencies.
Drive process improvements, automation opportunities and operational enhancements as part of the transition rather than simply replicating the existing environment.
Establish the foundations for the future operating model while maintaining business continuity.

Experience Required
Proven experience leading large-scale IT service transitions within complex enterprise environments.
Strong background managing multi-supplier outsourcing or managed service transitions.
Experience delivering structured transition programmes across infrastructure, workplace, cloud, networks, security and service management functions.
Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage senior business and technology leaders.
Strong governance, risk management and programme delivery experience.
Experience embedding operational improvements and transformation during transition is highly desirable.
