This is an opportunity to play a central role in shaping the future organisation at a pivotal moment of change.
As Organisational Design Lead, you’ll work at enterprise level on complex organisational design and operating model challenges as part of a large‑scale integration programme. Partnering closely with senior leaders, HR and an external design partner, you’ll help define how the organisation is structured for the long term — not just for integration.
The role combines strong organisational design practice with pragmatic decision‑making, senior‑level facilitation and a focus on designs that genuinely work in practice.
Why this role matters
- You’ll help shape future‑state operating models and functional structures that enable performance, leadership effectiveness and customer impact
- Your work will influence how teams are designed, how work flows, and how accountabilities are set across the organisation
- You’ll operate at senior level, supporting leaders to make informed, evidence‑based choices during a period of significant change
This role is about bringing clarity, coherence and confidence to organisational design decisions.
What you’ll be doing
- Leading end‑to‑end organisational design and Target Operating Model activity for functional areas within the integration programme
- Facilitating senior leadership discussions to define future purpose, critical capabilities, structures and ways of working
- Developing and presenting clear design options and scenarios, underpinned by insight, data and sound OD principles
- Acting as a trusted advisor to leaders, helping them navigate complex choices and trade‑offs
- Applying qualitative and quantitative insight — such as FTE baselines, workload assessment and benchmarking — to inform design decisions
- Working in close partnership with HR, Change and Programme teams to support the transition from approved designs into implementation
What you’ll bring
- Strong experience in organisational design, workforce design or operating model transformation
- Confidence working with senior leaders and facilitating complex, sometimes ambiguous discussions
- Excellent analytical and conceptual thinking skills, with the ability to translate complexity into clear, practical design solutions
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with a collaborative and constructive influencing style
- Comfort working at pace in evolving environments where priorities and detail may still be emerging
Desirable, but not essential
- Experience in housing, social impact or other regulated sectors
- Familiarity with organisational design or change frameworks (e.g. Galbraith Star Model, McKinsey 7S, systems thinking)
- Understanding of workforce transition or consultation considerations
Why join us?
You’ll be part of a high‑profile integration programme with senior visibility, working on meaningful organisational design that will have a lasting impact well beyond the life of the programme.
This is a role for someone who enjoys thinking systemically, influencing thoughtfully, and shaping organisations for what’s next.
