Job Description: Why this role matters
Business Transformation is critical to meeting customer and business needs and remaining competitive in the marketplace. Transformation is not an initiative for us; it’s a capability. Facility & Real Estate Management (FREM) plays a critical role, managing and transforming a global footprint that spans facilities, real estate, workplaces, capital investments, logistics assets, energy, fleet, and more.
We are now strengthening our transformation leadership by hiring a Transformation Portfolio & Programme Manager—a role designed for someone who thrives in complex environments where strategy meets execution.
This position is ideal for someone with both consulting and execution mindset who wants to apply rigorous transformation skills in a large‑scale industrial and enterprise context, driving tangible, operational change with long‑term impact.
This position is based in EMEA.
You will report to the Vice President Facility & Real Estate Management, be part of the functional leadership team, and operate globally. Occasional travel is expected.
What you will do

Working closely with the FREM Leadership Team, you will shape priorities, orchestrate delivery, and ensure that change turns into sustainable business value.

Managing the transformation portfolio and future pipeline, from demand shaping to prioritisation
Designing and applying portfolio prioritisation criteria that maximise strategic and financial value
Leading portfolio governance, review cycles, and leadership “pulsing”
Proactively identifying dependencies, constraints, and resource conflicts—and driving resolution
Strengthening benefit realisation, quality standards, and adoption of transformation best practices
Leveraging tools such as Planview to accelerate delivery with minimal disruption
Capturing learnings and continuously evolving FREM’s transformation ways of working

High‑impact programme leadership
For selected strategic initiatives, you will act as the end‑to‑end programme lead, accountable for:
Leading complex, cross‑functional, global transformation programmes
Anchoring sustainable change across people, processes, systems, and data
Applying a disciplined transformation approach while adapting to real‑world complexity
Managing senior stakeholders and external partners with confidence and clarity
Driving change communication that resonates across diverse operational environments
Delivering outcomes through pace, structure, and execution excellence

You will operate in a high‑intensity, high‑visibility environment, where progress, judgement, and stakeholder trust matter as much as plans.
