Description

We are UCL: a diverse community with the freedom to challenge and think differently. From cancer research to climate change, dementia to social inequality, the world is facing huge challenges and we’re determined to solve them.

There has never been a more exciting time to join the Strategic Change team, as we build and shape a set of change programs to deliver UCL’s operational strategy. You’ll be joining our growing team of exceptionally ambitious and passionate individuals who are dedicated to achieving great success. The Strategic Change Office was set up to turn UCL’s bold ambitions into action. This is your chance to be part of shaping a high-performance portfolio office from the ground up. As part of the wider Strategic Change Team, you’ll have the opportunity to bring fresh ideas, create meaningful impact, and help drive transformation across the institution.

Equity, diversity and inclusion is important to us. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone is encouraged to give their best in a place where their unique experiences, perspectives and skills are seen as valuable assets.

Transformation Project Manager

Key Responsibilities

This is a pivotal role at the heart of a major transformation programme, focused on reimagining how HR, Finance, and Shared Services are delivered and experienced. As Transformation Project Manager, you will lead the end-to-end delivery of one of the projects that will streamline operations, modernise systems, and improve the day-to-day working lives of staff across the organization.

You’ll play a key role in turning ambitious ideas into actionable plans, working closely with the Transformation Programme Manager, senior leaders, delivery teams, and subject matter experts to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and with measurable impact. This role offers the opportunity to shape change across people, process, and technology — supporting a service-by-service redesign that puts user needs and operational efficiency at its core. If you’re looking to make a meaningful difference in a dynamic, high-impact environment, we’d love to hear from you.

This role is eligible for hybrid working with a minimum of 2 days on site.

Qualification & Requirements

With a collaborative and confident approach, you excel at engaging a broad range of stakeholders — from senior leaders to frontline teams — building trust and alignment across functions. You’re experienced in managing interdependencies, risks, and business readiness, and have worked closely with subject matter experts to co-design future-state services, roles, and operating models. Whether leading delivery, coordinating resources, or embedding continuous improvement, you bring precision, empathy, and a commitment to impact in everything you do.
