Lead the change

E.ON is a global provider of specialised energy solutions. Everything we do is about the customer. Whether we’re providing them with reliable energy or creating innovative solutions, our teams of genuinely helpful people work hard to make the lives of customers better.

Right now we’re looking for experienced, accomplished professionals to manage a range of vital business change projects (working in collaboration with the separate IT delivery team) for us and to build our growing business change team. Reporting to the project sponsors and Programme Manager, you’ll direct your projects throughout their lifecycles, from outlining their scope and setting targets in line with the leadership team’s objectives, mobilising the relevant work streams, and monitoring progress.

Our business change team undertakes a diverse set of projects across B2C, B2B and our other businesses which includes transformational change, developing new and exciting propositions using digitally enabled channels.

You’ll be dealing with substantial, complex projects, so it’s vital that you have the organisational and project management skills to successfully manage every aspect of each, including: Business case development, resourcing, governance and decision making, risk management, stakeholder management and the actual execution of the plan. You’ll also be responsible for business readiness into the targeted business areas and facilitating the benefit delivery.

And there’s an essential interpersonal side to this role too, because you’ll not only lead and coach those in your team; you’ll also cultivate important working relationships with other parts of the business, including Customer Experience, Digital, Finance, E.ON IT, Legal Marketing and Communications.

This is a complex and challenging role, but it will be extremely rewarding too. Your work will not only be varied and exciting; it will also allow you to make a real and palpable difference to one of the world’s leading energy companies with its 5 million customers.
