The Corporate Transformation & Workplace Directorate will be responsible for many programmes and initiatives, critical to the ongoing development of SG as we grow. The Transformation Design and Architecture Division is home to people with business, data and digital architecture, design and analysis skills and expertise. We will develop the shared understanding of what the future state for corporate services needs to look like, and the stepping stones we will need to take to get there. Understanding our target business architecture, our overall data strategy for corporate services, and the components that together make up the ‘corporate platform’ will be key to our success.

Our team will also support programmes or projects that become initiatives in our roadmap. The Shared Services Programme is the first of these and is transforming our finance and HR services by moving to a standard set of best practice processes and features and adopting a new integrated cloud platform.

This initial focus of this new, varied and rewarding role will be to support the Shared Services Programme but, in time, to work across the entire corporate transformation portfolio of change projects. It will afford you the opportunity to progress into a role that offers autonomy in how you manage your workload, engage with stakeholders at all levels, be involved in organisational initiatives and transformational projects which will also enable your personal development.
