About the job
Sword Group is a premier provider of cutting-edge business technology solutions across the Energy, Public, and Finance sectors, catalyzing transformative change for our clients. Our approach leverages proven technologies, specialized teams, and deep domain expertise to establish robust technical foundations across platforms, data, and business applications. We are passionate about harnessing technology to address business challenges, collaborating closely with our clients to help them achieve their aspirations.
In this critical leadership position, you will play a vital role during a transformative phase for Sword as we enhance our Data, Analytics, AI, and Automation capabilities. The Transformation Lead will be instrumental in shaping, guiding, and executing large-scale transformation initiatives for our clients.
This role emphasizes delivery leadership and strategic consulting. While there is a significant pre-sales aspect, direct sales responsibility is not required. The Transformation Lead will engage with senior strategic stakeholders to convert their ambitions into coherent, fundable, and actionable transformation programs that integrate strategy, business architecture, change leadership, and a profound technical grasp of data and AI-enabled solutions.
Operating at the convergence of strategy, program design, and execution, you will be accountable for defining the transformation direction, overseeing complex multi-million-pound programs, and ensuring clients realize sustained, measurable value from data-driven and AI-enabled transformations.
Role Scope & Focus
The Transformation Lead operates across three core dimensions:
Transformation Leadership & Delivery (Primary Focus)
· Leading the design, direction, and validation of complex transformation programs from inception to value realization.
Senior Business & Strategy Consulting
· Advising C-suite and executive stakeholders on investment decisions, operational model transformation, and organizational readiness for AI-driven change.
Presales & Opportunity Shaping (Supportive)
· Assisting account teams in developing credible, outcomes-focused transformation proposals and business cases, without direct sales targets.
