The team/department

What you will be doing (the role)- The Divisional Business Partner (DBP) owns the strategic relationship between the Divisional Change Department and business stakeholders to stimulate, surface, and shape new demand- This is done through two key responsibilities, 1) developing and delivering the engagement and communications strategy between the Change Directorate, Divisional Change Department (DCD), and its business stakeholders, and 2) support the management of new business driven change demand such that it can be safely managed onto the divisional portfolio- Engagement and Communications: Working closely with the DCD leadership team and using a variety of data points e.g., staff feedback and customer surveys, the engagement strategy will identify and shape communications that raise awareness on what we do and build confidence across our teams and their respective stakeholders. The engagement and communications strategy will also need to deliver and evaluate internal campaigns, and be designed to inform diverse audiences, taking account of the differing needs. The postholder will take a leading role that ensures existing and new colleagues are well-informed, engaged, and are able to find information they need- Demand Management: New demand management is the process of collecting ideas and projects through engagement with business stakeholders. This collection continuously supports the portfolio definition, by producing a list of new initiatives that need to be assessed and selected concurrently with in-flight project delivery. Demand management is critical to portfolio planning and helps ensure our delivery partners are sighted and aligned on requirements and timelines. Demand management also ensures the divisional portfolio is strategically aligned and determines the governance structure to oversee delivery. The Divisional Business Partner will support the assessment of new business demand through their understanding of their respective Divisions Regulatory obligations, operational risk appetite, technology, and data requirements
