We are seeking a strategic governance and change expert to help ensure that business transformation creates lasting value. The mission is to establish the standards, controls and knowledge structures that allow a global organisation to change with consistency, confidence and discipline.

As a Functional Expert, you will shape how processes are governed, how changes are controlled and how organisational knowledge is protected. You will advise Process Owners, project teams and functional leaders on readiness, compliance, adoption and governance risk.

This role goes beyond maintaining documents or coordinating communications. It is an opportunity to become a recognised authority on process integrity and sustainable change, influencing how new policies, systems, data and ways of working are adopted and retained across the enterprise.

• Outputs: Process-governance framework, controlled SOP library, standards catalogue, document lifecycle model, process-owner accountability matrix and enterprise knowledge architecture.

• Strategic Governance Partnership: Advise Process Owners, project teams and functional leaders on governance expectations, adoption risks and control requirements. Ensure material changes are supported by clear decisions, ownership and evidence.
• Outputs: Governance review packs, process-owner decision records, adoption reports, audit evidence files, policy-alignment assessments and management action updates.

• Governance Capability Leadership: Build awareness of process ownership, document control and change responsibilities. Capture lessons and strengthen the organisation’s ability to retain knowledge through business and workforce changes.
• Outputs: Governance learning pathway, role-based guidance, onboarding content, knowledge-transfer plans, lessons-learned repository and standards-awareness sessions.

• Governance Visibility: Management has early visibility of control gaps, expired documents and overdue actions.
• Sustainable Adoption: New ways of working are understood, applied and retained after implementation.
• Knowledge Resilience: Critical organisational knowledge remains accessible and protected through change.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business Administration, Operations, Supply Chain, Organisational Development or a related discipline.
