About the team You'll be part of Digital's Transformation team, supporting the Lead directly on transformation work across the business. Your work directly affects whether departments can adopt and use what Digital builds - from leading smaller initiatives through to building the guides and reference implementations that help adoption scale.

Digital's portfolio is growing: more departments, more solutions, more pipeline across software, data products, reporting, low code, and AI. The team needs someone hands on - leading smaller initiatives, building the materials that help adoption scale, and using AI to accelerate how the team works.
