Transformation Manager (m/f/d)

About the Job

One of the world's largest captive IT shared service providers is reshaping how it operates — and AI is central to that shift. The Strategy & Transformation Office, based in the CEO area, is where this transformation is planned and delivered. As Transformation Manager, you will own the end-to-end execution of initiatives within our transformation portfolio: translating strategy into action, securing commitment across the organization, and ensuring the value we promise is the value we deliver.

This is a role with direct line of sight to senior leadership. You will report functionally to the Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer (CSTO), operate with visibility up to the Executive Management Team, and — depending on the assignment — work directly from the Transformation Office or embedded within a business function. The scope and number of initiatives you own will evolve as the portfolio evolves, giving you room to grow with the role rather than operate within a fixed job description.

What you do

- Own delivery outcomes, not just delivery plans. Take initiatives from initial mandate through to stabilization — on time, on budget, with benefits that are actually realized, not just projected.
- Translate ambiguity into an executable plan. Define scope, milestones, dependencies, and delivery model for initiatives that often start underspecified.
- Make governance work, not just exist. Run steering committees and working sessions that produce real decisions; prepare materials sponsors can act on; surface risks and issues early enough that they remain manageable.
- Be accountable for the numbers.



Define and track KPIs/OKRs and benefits-realization plans; report progress and value to senior leadership and the EMT in terms they can use.
- Manage risk and interdependency. Flag early, propose mitigations, and keep documentation audit-ready — across a portfolio, not just within one workstream.
- Align execution with target architecture and cross-initiative sequencing. Coordinate closely with the stakeholders who own adjacent pieces of the puzzle.
- Lead change, not just announce it. Plan and execute the communication, training, and adoption work that determines whether a transformation actually sticks.
- Own your budget and resourcing — With full transparency on spend, forecast, and value delivered.
- Shape how AI is applied in practice. Across the transformation portfolio — not as a side interest, but as part of how you approach delivery and economics.
- Contribute beyond your own initiatives. To the broader strategy-execution agenda of the Transformation Office, including portfolio-level analysis and the evolution of our transformation methodology.

What you bring

- 5+ years leading complex transformation or large-scale change initiatives in technology or operations
- A genuine end-to-end delivery track record — you have taken something from mandate to measurable outcome, using Agile, Waterfall, or a hybrid of both




- Strong stakeholder management skills, including the ability to influence senior leaders and drive alignment without relying on formal authority
- Solid financial and analytical skills — you can build a business case, track value, and make decisions on data rather than instinct
- Fluent English; working knowledge of AI technologies and a real interest in how AI is changing IT delivery and economics
- A degree in Business, Information Systems, Engineering, IT Management, Computer Science, or equivalent professional experience

We'd also be glad if you bring

- Experience in consulting, financial services, or multinational organizations
- Governance design experience and a PMP, PRINCE2, PMI-ACP, or SAFe certification
- German language skills
- Experience with crisis and escalation management, and familiarity with European regulatory expectations
- Change management and adoption-planning experience in multi-country environments

What we offer

- We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration and remote working incl. up to 25 days per year working from abroad.
- We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).
- From career development and digital learning programs to international career mobility, we offer lifelong learning for our employees worldwide and an environment where innovation, delivery and empowerment are fostered.
- Versátil working, health and wellbei
