Transformation Transition Lead

The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for more than 572 years. Today, we are one of the world's top 100 universities and ranked 13^th in the world in the Times Higher Education (THE) World Impact Rankings 2023, demonstrating that we are not only one of the best universities in the United Kingdom, but one of the best universities for the world. Our people have always been at the forefront of innovation, and our past achievements inspire our current world changers.

In 2024, a new Transition Team was formed to enhance change outcomes and drive sustainable change across our Transformation Portfolio and the wider university. The Transformation Transition Lead will play a key role in continuing to establish this team, ensuring alignment with existing change programmes, and working with the team to deliver quality services.

The Transition team will provide hypercare, common best practice for managing large-scale change, focusing on heightened support before and after 'go-live.' They will proactively address user needs and feedback to ensure seamless transitions and achieve programme goals.

This will ensure there is ownership of risk mitigation, capturing longer-term improvements, and take responsibility for transitioning each delivery from programme implementation to 'business as usual' owners in the wider University.

This role currently has line management responsibility for two Transition Specialist roles and sits within the wider Transformation Delivery directorate.
