ABOUT THE ROLE
The Transformation Director is a senior role within Temenos' Strategy team, responsible for turning strategic priorities into actionable plans and driving their successful execution across the organisation .
Reporting to the Head of Strategy and working closely with senior leadership and cross-functional teams, you will ensure that strategic initiatives are translated into robust, executable plans, that milestones are delivered on time, and that risks, dependencies and execution challenges are proactively addressed.
This is a highly hands-on role requiring strong strategic judgement, the ability to challenge senior stakeholders constructively, and the drive to push initiatives forward in a complex global organisation. You will connect the dots across functions, break down organisational silos, anticipate execution challenges and ensure that critical issues are resolved before they jeopardise delivery.
While functional leaders remain accountable for executing their respective initiatives, you will play a critical role in ensuring that the overall strategic plan is delivered — going beyond monitoring progress to actively challenging, problem-solving and intervening where needed to maintain momentum.
This is not a traditional programme management or governance role. It sits at the intersection of strategy, transformation and execution , requiring someone who can operate at both the executive level and in the details when necessary to drive meaningful outcomes.
OPPORTUNITIES
You will:
Translate strategy into executable plans: Work with senior leaders to convert strategic priorities into clear initiatives, milestones, deliverables, accountabilities and measurable outcomes.
Stress-test execution plans: Challenge the robustness and feasibility of plans, including underlying assumptions, timelines, resource requirements, interdependencies and execution risks, ensuring they are sufficiently ambitious but achievable.
Drive delivery of the strategic plan: Maintain an integrated view of strategic initiatives, proactively tracking progress against critical milestones and pushing initiative owners to deliver on their commitments.
Identify and resolve execution challenges: Go beyond identifying delays or risks to understanding root causes, challenging proposed solutions and working with stakeholders to get initiatives back on track.
Break down organisational silos: Proactively identify cross-functional dependencies and ensure that the right stakeholders engage, align and make necessary decisions at the right time.
Drive senior stakeholder accountability: Constructively challenge senior leaders on progress, commitments and execution gaps, ensuring clear ownership and timely follow-through.
Anticipate and escalate risks: Identify emerging risks, bottlenecks and competing priorities early, distinguishing issues that can be resolved operationally from those requiring executive intervention.
Enable timely executive decision-making: Frame critical issues into clear options, trade-offs and recommendations, ensuring that decisions are escalated and resolved before they impact execution.
Intervene on critical priorities: Take a hands-on role in…
