Change Lead

Location: UK (Hybrid)

MO3007

I’m partnering with a leading UK energy infrastructure business to find their first ever Change Lead.

Recently taken private by a global infrastructure investor, the business is scaling fast: integrating acquisitions, building out new tech infrastructure, and professionalising its operating model as it transitions into a fully integrated energy infrastructure platform powering the UK’s net zero ambition.

This is a genuine build role. No established function. No fixed methodology. No inherited team. You’ll create the change framework from scratch and own its delivery.

What you’ll do

• Define and embed a pragmatic PM and change methodology across the business
• Own and govern the change portfolio – including a multi-million-pound budget – giving leadership clear visibility of what’s being delivered, at what cost, and to what timeline
• Assess third-party delivery partners and make the call on build vs. buy vs. partner
• Drive adoption and communications, moving the business from reactive, project-by-project delivery to a coherent, owned portfolio of change
• Get change done – this is a hands-on delivery role, not a strategy or advisory one

What I’m looking for

• 10-15 years in change / transformation / programme management, with 3-5 years leading a change function
• A track record of standing up change methodology from the ground up (not inheriting a mature one)
• Sharp at assessing delivery partners and consultants – you know what good looks like and won’t be oversold
• Background in infrastructure, utilities, energy, financial services or similarly regulated, asset-intensive sectors
• Strong on methodology (PRINCE2, MSP, SAFe or equivalent), an excellent communicator, and comfortable up to Board level
