Job Introduction
Programme Director – CAFM Transformation
Compass Group UK & Ireland | UK&I (regular travel) | Competitive salary and benefits
Lead a transformation, not just a system rollout
We’re changing how we deliver facilities management across the UK & Ireland, and we need an exceptional Programme Director to lead it. Introducing a new Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) platform is where it starts. The real goal is a more connected, data-led and efficient service for our clients and our people.
You’ll own the full programme, from design and build through go-live, adoption and benefits realisation. You’ll be accountable for the system and also for the cultural change that makes new ways of working stick.
What you’ll do
- Set the programme vision, roadmap, business case and success measures, and put strong governance in place
- Lead a multi-disciplinary team of workstream leads, change partners and third-party suppliers, and manage the budget
- Oversee solution design, integration, data migration and a phased rollout across regions, sectors and contracts
- Design and lead a change strategy covering mindset, behaviours and capability as well as process
- Build a network of change champions and super users, and equip managers to lead their teams through change
- Engage clients and senior stakeholders, and show how the platform improves transparency and performance
- Track benefits and hand over smoothly to business-as-usual
What you’ll bring
- A proven track record of leading large-scale, multi-site transformation programmes from start to benefits realisation
- Successful delivery of enterprise technology implementations with multiple system integrations
- Experience leading cultural change and adoption across large, dispersed, front-line workforces
- Experience managing significant budgets, suppliers and contracts
- Experience building and leading high-performing teams
- Inspiring, visible leadership, with the credibility to influence at executive and client level
- Strong commercial and analytical skills, and a people-centred, empathetic approach to change
It would be great if you also have
- Direct experience implementing a CAFM system
- A background in facilities management, outsourced services or another contract-led environment
- Experience of employee consultation or trade union engagement
Why join us?
This is a rare chance to shape how one of the UK & Ireland’s largest service businesses works. You’ll lead change that makes a real difference to our clients and our front-line teams.
If you’re ready to lead transformation at scale, we’d love to hear from you.
