Overview

The Senior Director, Transformation & Enterprise Data leads Keyloop's enterprise transformation agenda — owning the pace, prioritisation, governance and value realisation of the portfolio of multi-functional and cross-functional transformation programmes, at the speed of decision-making expected in a PE-backed business. This is a builder's role: the successful candidate operates close to execution while architecting the operating model, governance and ways of working that let Keyloop scale, rather than running a purely administrative programme office.

The role also operates as a delivery partner to the CFO/COO and senior leaders, driving accountability across teams outside the direct reporting line, and owns group-level, cross-functional data and reporting — driving towards a common platform and single dataset that gives the business one consistent, trusted view of performance.

Lead, develop and performance-manage a global team of transformation/programme leaders

Experience driving enterprise data and reporting standardisation, ideally including delivery of a common BI/reporting platform and single dataset across a global organisation

Proven leadership of multi-layer, global teams through senior leaders
