At WPP, technology is at the heart of everything we do, and it is WPP IT's mission to enable everyone to collaborate, create and thrive. WPP IT is undergoing a significant transformation to build the transformation platform that will power the next evolution of WPP. WPP is on a journey to clarify and simplify the operating model between our brands and WPP, modernise and create tech-enabled colleague experiences, and create an open, integrated technology innovation platform across WPP.

Along that journey we will ensure WPP IT is a destination for tech talent, modernise our ways of working, shift to cloud and micro-service-based architectures, drive automation, digitise colleague and client experiences and deliver insight from WPP's petabytes of data.

The aim of this plan will be to drive a seamless transition of services, maintaining service stabilisation with mínimal disruption to BAU, with the ultimate goal of driving WPPIT service consistency, cost optimisation and process efficiency. This role will work closely with the Head of Managed to drive and deliver this plan.

**What you'll be doing**:

- Work closely with WPP Transformation office, to understand WPP IT and Agency-specific projects or programmes that may impact the scoping, onboarding, and transitioning of resources, processes and services.
- Work closely with Service Management to identify existing services within the service catalogue which can be provided for Agencies as they transition into WPP IT managed services
- Work closely with Service Management to identify new services that currently do not exist in the service catalogue, which will therefore need to be designed and developed for Agencies as they transition into WPP IT managed services
