Description

Reporting to the Corporate Technology M&A Director, the Transformation Lead is accountable for the success of the Organic (horizontal) and Inorganic (M&A) Transformation portfolios, along with oversight of M&A Operations.

This role sits within the wider Corporate Technology M&A Department and manages cross capability change activities.

The Organic Transformation portfolio will deliver all horizontal change identified and funded as part of the annual budget and prioritisation process.

The work will span all capability areas within Corporate Technology alongside delivering the Corporate Technology elements of Group wide initiatives.

The Organic Transformation lead will be responsible for embedding best practice and drive the maturity of processes, while remaining closely aligned to both the Group wide Change Framework and divisional governance as required.

The LSEG Project Management Policy defines the approach that must be followed by all projects, and details of the approach are documented in the Change Framework, which defines governance, processes, and artefact templates.

The Change Framework is used for all LSEG projects and project data is held in the Clarity PPM tool for ease of reporting.

Working closely with Programme Teams, M&A leadership team and wider Corporate Technology stakeholders, the Organic Transformation Lead will ensure quality and timely delivery of the portfolio to support the Division and Groups technology strategies.
