Overview Ubisense is a company at the forefront of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet-of-Things. We build products that transform physical space into "smart space", enabling software to see, understand and participate in the real world of people and business activities. In so doing, we augment people and objects with new forms of insight and intelligence that make the environments we live and work in more productive, safe and profitable. This unique ability to connect the physical to the digital has been our driving force for more than 18 years and has enabled Fortune 500 manufacturers like Daimler-Benz, Lockheed Martin and John Deere to revolutionise the way they build our cars, the most advanced aircraft and the machinery that grows our food. We are a privately held company with around 60 employees, supporting customers across North America, Europe, UK, Japan and the Middle East. We have ambitious and well-funded growth plans, requiring talented people to help execute on our vision. We are looking for people who are interested in the future, who believe that technology will play a fundamental role in improving the world of tomorrow, and who want to be a part of making that happen.

Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
Transformation Director, Cambridge University Press Salary: £76,000 - £104,500 plus competitive benefits Location: Cambridge, UK - Hybrid Contract: Permanent Hours: Full time 35 hours per week Lead the creation of a new Transformation Management Office We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge. Are you passionate about driving transformation, shaping organisational change, and enabling teams to deliver meaningful impact? We're looking for a highly skilled Transformation Director to lead our new Transformation Management Office (TMO) within Cambridge University Press, the Academic publishing division of Cambridge University Press & Assessment. About the role Academic publishing is undergoing a period of significant change. Evolving customer needs, digital transformation, new business models and the rise of AI are reshaping how we work and how we deliver value. To ensure we remain competitive and continue to deliver against our strategy, we are seeking an exceptional Transformation Director to lead our new Transformation Management Office and accelerate this evolution. This role goes far beyond oversight - you will be a strategist, delivery expert, and "player-coach," intervening directly in high-risk areas where deeper leadership is needed. You must have the confidence and credibility to operate with Board-level stakeholders and the ability to influence decision making across a large, matrixed organisation. Strategic Leadership You will be the architect and storyteller of our academic transformation, owning a clear, compelling narrative that connects long-term strategy to real world outcomes. You'll translate this narrative into a robust roadmap and investment case, ensuring priorities are clear, funded, and deliverable. As leader of the Transformation Management Office, you'll build and inspire a high performing team, working in close partnership with the Central PMO to ensure academic transformation is fully aligned with wider organisational priorities. Delivery & Execution You'll establish and govern the academic transformation portfolio, accelerating delivery while maintaining strong control. Chairing TMO delivery forums, you'll drive decisive action, remove barriers, and focus relentlessly on outcomes. Where delivery needs an extra push, you'll lead senior level programme "deep dives", providing hands on intervention and direction. You'll raise organisational delivery maturity by embedding pragmatic frameworks, coaching leaders, and partnering with the Academic Design Pod to ensure solutions are scalable, coherent, and fully integrated. You'll also oversee change management, ensuring new ways of working are not just launched but embedded and sustained. Value, Finance & Governance You'll provide clear, confident Board-level visibility on performance, risk, and return on investment. With accountability for financial control across the transformation portfolio and cost centre, you'll enforce rigorous business case development and benefits realisation tracking. You'll hold delivery leaders accountable for value creation, ensuring transformation outcomes align directly to P&L impact and strategic priorities. Stakeholder Leadership & Culture Success in this role depends on trust and influence. You'll build confidence with senior stakeholders and cultivate a culture defined by pace, transparency, and delivery discipline. You'll champion consistent design and delivery standards and lead impactful TMO communications and change strategies across the Academic community. This position has been classified as a hybrid role, requiring the selected candidate to typically spend 40-60% of their time collaborating and connecting face-to-face at their dedicated location.

Transformation Director, Cambridge University Press Salary: £76,000 - £104,500 plus competitive benefits Location: Cambridge, UK - Hybrid Contract: Permanent Hours: Full time 35 hours per week Lead the creation of a new Transformation Management Office We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge. Are you passionate about driving transformation, shaping organisational change, and enabling teams to deliver meaningful impact? We're looking for a highly skilled Transformation Director to lead our new Transformation Management Office (TMO) within Cambridge University Press, the Academic publishing division of Cambridge University Press & Assessment. About the role Academic publishing is undergoing a period of significant change. Evolving customer needs, digital transformation, new business models and the rise of AI are reshaping how we work and how we deliver value. To ensure we remain competitive and continue to deliver against our strategy, we are seeking an exceptional Transformation Director to lead our new Transformation Management Office and accelerate this evolution. This role goes far beyond oversight - you will be a strategist, delivery expert, and "player-coach," intervening directly in high-risk areas where deeper leadership is needed. You must have the confidence and credibility to operate with Board-level stakeholders and the ability to influence decision making across a large, matrixed organisation. Strategic Leadership You will be the architect and storyteller of our academic transformation, owning a clear, compelling narrative that connects long-term strategy to real world outcomes. You'll translate this narrative into a robust roadmap and investment case, ensuring priorities are clear, funded, and deliverable. As leader of the Transformation Management Office, you'll build and inspire a high performing team, working in close partnership with the Central PMO to ensure academic transformation is fully aligned with wider organisational priorities. Delivery & Execution You'll establish and govern the academic transformation portfolio, accelerating delivery while maintaining strong control. Chairing TMO delivery forums, you'll drive decisive action, remove barriers, and focus relentlessly on outcomes. Where delivery needs an extra push, you'll lead senior level programme "deep dives", providing hands on intervention and direction. You'll raise organisational delivery maturity by embedding pragmatic frameworks, coaching leaders, and partnering with the Academic Design Pod to ensure solutions are scalable, coherent, and fully integrated. You'll also oversee change management, ensuring new ways of working are not just launched but embedded and sustained. Value, Finance & Governance You'll provide clear, confident Board-level visibility on performance, risk, and return on investment. With accountability for financial control across the transformation portfolio and cost centre, you'll enforce rigorous business case development and benefits realisation tracking. You'll hold delivery leaders accountable for value creation, ensuring transformation outcomes align directly to P&L impact and strategic priorities. Stakeholder Leadership & Culture Success in this role depends on trust and influence. You'll build confidence with senior stakeholders and cultivate a culture defined by pace, transparency, and delivery discipline. You'll champion consistent design and delivery standards and lead impactful TMO communications and change strategies across the Academic community. This position has been classified as a hybrid role, requiring the selected candidate to typically spend 40-60% of their time collaborating and connecting face-to-face at their dedicated location.
