3What this role really is

This job involves finding out why processes underperform and putting fixes in place across an organisation. You lead improvement projects rather than support them, and often show others how the work is done. It means working directly with teams to find better ways of doing things, and seeing your recommendations turn into results.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Celonis / Signavio (Process Mining) Advanced

Independently building analyses to identify process bottlenecks, conformance gaps, and automation opportunities. You'll be using these tools to find the 'hidden factory' and quantify improvement potential.

Performing complex data transformations, cleaning messy data sets, and building robust models for cost-benefit analysis and performance tracking. You'll be the go-to person for anything Excel-related.

SQL (Structured Query Language) Advanced

Writing multi-table joins and complex queries to extract, filter, and aggregate data from various internal databases for detailed analysis. You won't just pull data; you'll shape it.

Power BI / Tableau (Data Visualization) Advanced

Designing and building insightful, interactive dashboards that tell a clear story about process performance and project impact. You'll be translating complex data into actionable visuals for stakeholders.

Jira / Asana (Project Management) Advanced

Managing the full project lifecycle for your initiatives, configuring workflows, setting up dashboards, and tracking tasks and dependencies for your project team.

Microsoft Visio / Lucidchart (Process Mapping) Expert

Designing complex 'to-be' process flows, swimlane diagrams, and value stream maps. You'll be teaching others the best practices for visualising processes clearly.

Microsoft Teams / Confluence / Miro (Collaboration) Advanced

Designing and managing Confluence spaces or SharePoint sites as a single source of truth for your projects. You'll facilitate complex workshops using advanced Miro features to drive collaboration and consensus.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Project Methodology Selection Proposes options to supervisor for review and approval. Selects methodology for routine projects, consults manager for complex ones. Selects and adapts methodology for medium-complexity projects; consults manager on strategic alignment for larger initiatives.
Process Design Changes Documents 'as-is' process; proposes minor 'to-be' changes for review. Designs 'to-be' processes for defined workstreams; seeks manager and process owner approval. Designs and gains approval for 'to-be' processes for entire end-to-end projects, managing stakeholder consensus. Makes technical design decisions independently.
Budget Allocation (Project Specific) No authority; flags potential costs to supervisor. Manages project expenses within a defined, pre-approved budget; escalates overspends. Recommends budget adjustments up to £10K for project needs; requires approval for anything higher. Accountable for managing project spend against plan.
Stakeholder Communication Strategy Drafts communications based on templates; supervisor reviews. Develops communication plans for project workstreams; manager reviews key messages. Designs and executes comprehensive communication plans for projects, tailoring messages to different audiences. Consults manager on highly sensitive communications.
Resource Allocation (within project team) N/A (individual contributor). Suggests task allocation for junior support on their workstream. Allocates tasks and manages workload for 0-2 junior mentees within their projects. Identifies resource gaps and raises to manager.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Project Delivery Rate
The percentage of your assigned projects that are completed on time and within the agreed scope and budget.
Target · >90%

You led three projects this quarter; all finished on schedule and didn't go over budget. That's 100%.

Process Cycle Time Reduction
The average percentage reduction in the time it takes to complete a key business process after your improvements are implemented.
Target · 15-25%

You reduced the 'order-to-cash' cycle from 10 days to 7 days, a 30% reduction. That's a big win.

Benefits Realisation Tracking
The actual financial or operational benefits achieved by your projects, compared to the initial business case.
Target · >95% of projected benefits realised

Your project was projected to save £100K annually, and after a year, we've tracked £98K in savings. Excellent.

Stakeholder Net Promoter Score (NPS)
How likely your project stakeholders (e.g., department heads, team managers) are to recommend working with you and the Internal Consulting team.
Target · +40

After your last project, the Ops Director gave you a 9/10, showing strong satisfaction and trust.

Project Leadership & Ownership
How effectively you lead projects from start to finish, taking full responsibility for their success, even when things get tricky.
  • You proactively identify and resolve roadblocks, keep stakeholders informed, and drive the project forward without constant prompting. You're the first to step up when a project hits a snag and the last to let it fail. You'll be the one presenting the tough news and the good news.
Influence & Buy-in
Your ability to persuade and get agreement from stakeholders, even those who might be resistant to change, ensuring new processes are actually adopted.
  • Departmental leaders actively seek your advice and champion your proposed changes. You're able to navigate political landscapes and build consensus. People listen when you speak, not just because of your title, but because you make sense.
Mentorship & Team Development
How well you guide and develop junior team members, helping them grow their skills and confidence.
  • Junior analysts on your projects consistently improve their analytical and consulting skills. They come to you for advice, and you provide constructive feedback. You're building capability within the team.
Problem-Solving Depth
Your knack for getting to the real root cause of a problem, rather than just treating the symptoms, and designing robust, sustainable solutions.
  • Your solutions address the 'why behind the why' and don't just 'pave the cowpath'. You challenge assumptions and aren't afraid to dig deep into messy data to find the real issues. Your recommendations hold up under scrutiny.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You get a real kick out of taking a messy, ill-defined business problem and systematically breaking it down. You enjoy the detective work of finding the root cause and designing an elegant solution.

Spending an afternoon deep-diving into Power BI dashboards and SQL queries to understand why a specific process step is failing, rather than just accepting the surface-level explanation.

Seeing Tangible Impact

It's not enough for you to just make recommendations; you want to see them implemented and delivering real benefits. You're driven by the satisfaction of knowing your work has made a measurable difference.

Presenting the 'before and after' metrics for a process you redesigned, showing a clear reduction in cycle time or cost savings, and knowing you were instrumental in that change.

Coaching & Developing Others

You enjoy sharing your knowledge and helping junior colleagues grow. You're happy to spend time explaining concepts, reviewing their work, and helping them get unstuck.

Mentoring a junior analyst through their first end-to-end process mapping exercise, providing guidance and constructive feedback that helps them build confidence and skill.

What frustrates people
  • Political Whiplash: You'll spend months on a project, get executive buy-in, and then the champion leaves. Their replacement has a different agenda, and your initiative is suddenly 'de-prioritised'. It's incredibly frustrating to see good work shelved.
  • The Data is Always a Lie: Expect to spend 60% of your project time just cleaning, validating, and begging IT for access to the data you need. The 'source of truth' often turns out to be anything but, and you'll feel like a data archaeologist.
  • 'Shadow IT' Roadblocks: You'll discover a critical part of a process runs on a VP's 'master spreadsheet' that's undocumented, unsupported, and they absolutely refuse to give it up. It's like finding a secret, fragile ecosystem.
  • Accountability without Authority: You'll be held responsible for delivering, say, £2M in cost savings, but the business unit leader who needs to implement the changes refuses to allocate their staff to the project. You're responsible for the outcome, but don't control the resources.
  • The Workshop Lip Service: Stakeholders will enthusiastically agree on a brilliant new process in a workshop, then go back to their desks and tell their teams to keep doing it the old way. It's disheartening when commitment doesn't translate into action.
  • Being the 'Process Police': Some business units will view your team as internal auditors or efficiency hitmen, actively hiding information rather than seeing you as a partner to help them improve. Building trust can be a long, uphill battle.
  • The Never-Ending Pilot: The business insists on running a 'pilot' for your proposed change, which then gets extended indefinitely as a way to avoid a full-scale rollout and commitment. It feels like you're stuck in limbo, unable to finish.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, routine work schedule with minimal changes to priorities.
  • Direct line management authority over the teams whose processes you're improving.
  • A guarantee that every single one of your recommendations will be implemented exactly as you designed it.
  • A quiet, solitary work environment where you can focus without constant interaction.

8Who you work with

This role directly impacts our bottom line by identifying and eliminating waste, improving operational speed, and ensuring our processes are fit for purpose. You'll be shaping how entire departments operate, influencing everything from how we onboard new customers to how we close our books each quarter. Your work directly contributes to our strategic goals of efficiency and customer satisfaction. Frankly, without people like you, we'd be stuck in the mud, doing things the old, inefficient way.

Inside the business
  • Head of Operations
  • Finance Business Partners
  • Product Leads
  • Sales Directors
  • IT Project Managers
  • Departmental Process Owners
Outside the business
  • Key vendors (e.g., software providers)
  • Industry peer groups (for benchmarking)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven experience leading medium-complexity process improvement projects from end-to-end.
  • Demonstrable experience in designing and implementing 'to-be' processes that delivered measurable benefits.
  • Strong track record of managing and influencing stakeholders across different organisational levels.
  • Advanced proficiency in process mapping tools (Visio/Lucidchart) and data analysis tools (Excel, SQL, Power BI/Tableau).
  • Formal certification in Lean Six Sigma (Green Belt minimum, Black Belt preferred) or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience mentoring junior colleagues or leading small project teams (even if informally).

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Process Mining & Simulation

Basic process mapping is good, but advanced simulation allows us to 'test' new process designs virtually before implementing them. This saves huge amounts of time and money by identifying flaws upfront. Tools like Celonis are constantly adding these capabilities.

Predictive process analytics (forecasting future p · Digital twin of an organisation (creating a virtua · What-if scenario modelling (simulating impact of c · Automated root cause identification (AI-driven ano · Conformance checking against ideal process models

  • This month: Explore the simulation capabilities within Celonis or Signavio.
  • Month 2: Attend a vendor webinar or training on advanced process mining features.
  • Month 3: Apply simulation to one of your current project's 'to-be' process designs.
  • Month 4: Share insights from simulation with your project stakeholders, demonstrating potential impacts.

Quick win: Start by simply playing with the 'what-if' scenarios in our existing Celonis dashboards to see how minor changes might affect lead times or costs.

Low-Code/No-Code Automation Platforms

Business users are increasingly building their own automations. You need to understand these platforms (like Microsoft Power Automate, UiPath StudioX) not just to use them, but to guide teams on best practices, governance, and when not to automate. You'll be the bridge between business needs and IT capabilities.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) principles · Integration with existing enterprise systems · Governance and security best practices for citizen · Process orchestration across multiple platforms · Citizen developer enablement and training

  • This month: Complete an introductory course on Microsoft Power Automate or UiPath StudioX.
  • Month 2: Build a simple automation for a personal or team task using a low-code platform.
  • Month 3: Research common pitfalls and governance models for citizen development programmes.
  • Month 4: Present a small internal session on the pros and cons of low-code automation for specific business problems.

Quick win: Automate a repetitive task in Excel or Outlook using Power Automate. It's a great way to get hands-on experience without a big project commitment.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attending industry conferences and webinars on process improvement, operational excellence, and digital transformation.
  • Subscribing to leading industry publications and research (e.g., Gartner, Forrester) to stay abreast of emerging trends and technologies.
  • Actively participating in professional networks or communities of practice for internal consultants or process improvement specialists.
  • Seeking out opportunities to mentor junior colleagues and share your knowledge, solidifying your own understanding.
  • Taking advanced courses in data analytics, visualisation, or specific process mining tools as they evolve.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, internal consulting involves a lot of grunt work: digging through data, mapping processes, drafting reports, and doing endless research. What if you could cut that time in half, freeing you up to focus on the truly strategic, high-impact stuff? Our AI Productivity Hub is designed to do just that.

We're not talking about replacing your brain; we're talking about giving you a superpower. Imagine having an intelligent assistant that handles the tedious, repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on the 'human' elements of the job – building relationships, creative problem-solving, and driving adoption. Here's how AI can transform your daily work as a Senior Head of Performance Improvement:

Automated Process Discovery

Use AI-powered process mining tools (like Celonis) to analyse system event logs from our core systems (e.g., SAP, Salesforce). The AI automatically generates detailed 'as-is' process maps, identifies common deviations, and pinpoints hidden bottlenecks, all without endless manual interviews. This means you get to the 'analysis' phase much faster.

Insight Acceleration from Unstructured Data

Apply Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to analyse thousands of free-text entries from customer complaints, employee surveys, or call centre notes. The AI quickly identifies recurring themes, sentiment, and underlying root causes that would take a human weeks to manually categorise. Get to the 'aha!' moment quicker.

Accelerated Benchmarking & Research

Use an AI assistant (like ChatGPT or Perplexity) to rapidly research industry-specific benchmarks, best practices, and case studies for a given process. Need to know the top 5 KPIs for a world-class accounts payable process in manufacturing? AI can give you a solid starting point in minutes, saving hours of Googling and reading.

Draft-Zero Communication & Documentation

Overcome 'blank page' syndrome by using generative AI to create the first draft ('draft-zero') of project documents. Give it your project goals and key data, and ask it to generate a project charter, a stakeholder communication plan, or even a training document for a new process. You then refine, not create from scratch.
