**Job description**:
The role of the Change Engine Lead is to drive and manage the assessment of new change items and production of associated business cases, through an agreed ‘pipeline’ process, so they are of sufficient quality for delivery teams and projects are “setup for success”. This requires co-ordination of input from project managers, business analysts, technical support officers and other DBS stakeholders.

The Change Engine Lead is responsible for driving and overseeing the delivery of viable business cases from initial idea through assessment and feasibility to ensure that the objectives of new change items are clearly defined and assessed against strategic intent. The Change Engine Lead has a key role in change governance and, working with stakeholders, in ensuring all inputs required (people, funding, suppliers) are planned into a future schedule of change.

Not all potential change items will pass through the process successfully, so excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to manage and demonstrate a transparent and objective decision-making process is essential.

This is a dynamic role, which requires the post holder to be a self-starter and driven to succeed in challenging circumstances using specialist skills and deep business knowledge. You will be pro-active, flexible, responsive to change, and possess the ability to proactively develop and maintain collaborative relationships.

The role also includes responsibility for contributing to wider communities of practice.

The post holder will work closely with other disciplines to ensure that DBS systems and processes are continuously improved.
