Head of Transformation
Purpose:
To act as the primary bridge between technical strategy and operational execution. This role ensures that Enterprise Architecture blueprints are practically implementable, that the Delivery Management lifecycle is optimized for speed and quality, and that demand intake is consistently shaped and assured through fit-for-purpose quality controls. The role also drives application re-architecture and technology simplification through systems consolidation, rationalisation, and re-platforming to improve resilience, cost, and maintainability.
Scope of Authority:
- Process Ownership: Leads the evolution of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Release Management frameworks.
- Advisory: Acts as the “Technical Design Authority” during the transition from Demand Management (BA/SA) to Delivery (Dev/Testing).
- Conflict Resolution: Mediates technical dependencies between Infrastructure and Development teams to prevent “bottlenecks.”
Key Interaction Protocols:
- With Architecture: Reviews designs for “deliverability” and ensures teams aren’t building “ivory tower” solutions that can’t be supported by L2.
- With Delivery: Provides the tools and process improvements (CI/CD, Automation) so developers can focus on code, not admin.
- With Demand: Ensures that project requirements are technically validated before they enter the development backlog.
Job Description
The Technology Transformation Manager is a high-impact leadership role responsible for modernizing the way the IT department delivers value and simplifies its technology estate. You will sit at the intersection of Architecture, Demand, and Delivery, ensuring that our technical vision is translated into high-performing, scalable, and maintainable solutions. You will actively drive application re-architecture of legacy systems toward target-state architectures, balancing risk, cost, and time-to-value while maintaining service continuity. You will also help establish a quality assurance function within the Demand process — improving the consistency, testability, and readiness of requirements before work enters delivery. You are a “fixer” who identifies friction in the operating model and implements the people, process, and tool changes needed to remove it.
Key Responsabilities:
Architectural Realization & Bridge Building
- Translate complex Enterprise Architecture designs into actionable work packages for the internal development team.
- Ensure the L2 Application Support team has the documentation and training needed to support new architectural shifts.
- Lead application re-architecture activities for legacy systems (brownfield modernisation), defining target application architecture, key design decisions, and transition states.
- Produce and socialise re-architecture options and trade-offs (e.g., modularisation, API enablement, dependency decoupling, strangler patterns), and agree a pragmatic approach with Architecture, Delivery, and Operations.
- Establish lightweight architecture governance for re-architecture initiatives (design reviews, Architecture Decision Records), ensuring security, resilience, performance, and operability non-functional requirements are met.
- Plan and drive legacy component decommissioning (including data migration/cutover and hypercare), ensuring documentation, monitoring, and L2 support readiness for each transition.
Delivery Lifecycle Optimization
- Evaluate and improve the end-to-end SDLC, from initial system analysis through to testing and release.
- Identify opportunities for automation in the QA and Release Management phases to reduce manual monitoring of tasks.
Demand Quality Assurance Function Setup (Intake Quality)
- Design and implement a Demand QA operating model (roles, responsibilities, RACI) aligned to the Demand/BA/SA function and delivery teams.
- Define and embed quality gates for demand intake (e.g., Definition of Ready for Demand), ensuring requirements are clear, complete, feasible, testable, and traceable before entering the backlog.
- Standardise artefacts and templates (user stories, BRDs/FRDs where applicable, acceptance criteria, non-functional requirements, data definitions, integration specs) to increase consistency and reduce rework.
- Partner with Testing/QA and Delivery to ensure early test planning: test strategy, test data needs, environment readiness, automation opportunities, and agreed UAT approach.
- Establish defect prevention practices (peer reviews, requirement walkthroughs, risk-based triage) and measure demand quality (rework rate, escaped defects linked to requirement gaps, cycle time impact).
Cross Functional Orchestration
- Lead the “Technical Handover” process between the Systems Analysis team and the Development team.
- Work with Infrastructure to ensure environments (Dev, UAT, Prod) are aligned with the needs of the delivery roadmap.
Performance & Quality Standards
- Define “Definitions of Ready” and “Definitions of Done” to ensure high-quality output across all development activities.
- Monitor delivery metrics (velocity, bug density, deployment frequency) and implement corrective actions where trends slip.
Systems Consolidation, Rationalisation & Re-platforming
- Lead application and tooling consolidation initiatives by assessing the current landscape, identifying duplication, and recommending rationalisation options (retain/retire/replace/re-platform).
- Where consolidation depends on reducing coupling or standardising interfaces, drive the required application re-architecture to enable retirement, replacement, or migration with minimal service disruption.
- Define target-state principles and roadmaps for re-platforming (e.g., cloud/on-prem modernisation, managed services, CI/CD toolchain), aligning to Enterprise Architecture standards and service management needs.
- Build pragmatic migration plans (waves, cutover approach, dependency mapping, data migration, environment readiness) and ensure operational readiness (support model, monitoring, runbooks) for transitioned systems.
- Establish governance, benefits tracking, and KPIs for simplification (license and run-cost reduction, reduction in platforms/tools, improved deployment lead time, reduced incident volume) and manage stakeholder alignment through change.
Required Skills and Experiences:
- Experience: 20+ years in IT, with a mix of experience in Systems Analysis, Development, and Project/Delivery Management.
- Technical Breadth: Deep understanding of Enterprise Architecture patterns and how they apply to legacy and modern platforms, including experience with system/tool rationalisation, re-platforming programmes, and operational supportability (PAS experience is a plus).
- Quality Mindset: Proven ability to set up and run quality assurance controls upstream in the Demand lifecycle (requirements quality, acceptance criteria, test planning alignment, and measurable quality gates).
- Application Re-architecture: Demonstrable experience leading application re-architecture/modernisation of legacy systems, including transition architectures, risk-managed migration, and decommissioning of legacy components.
- Soft Skills: A “Rising Star” mentality – high energy, proactive drive, and the ability to influence peers without having direct hierarchical authority over them.
- Process Mindset: Expert knowledge of Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies.
