Over recent years, the Service has undertaken significant change to improve our customer experience and our financial sustainability. A new Executive team was established last year to bring the Service on the next phase of its journey.

The Financial Ombudsman Service is still at the early stages of its transformation and we are reimagining the future customer journey; we have big ambitions and we're determined to move at pace.

Our organisation needs to be confident that when we are delivering projects within our transformation portfolio we always offer the best possible value to our internal and external customers.

As such you will be involved across strategic projects and transformation initiatives.

This will include developing and implementing a benefits realisation plan, monitoring progress towards benefits realisation, and communicating progress to stakeholders.

You will also be responsible for identifying and mitigating any issues that could prevent the realisation of benefits.
