The Opportunity

We are supporting a global consultancy supplier on the recruitment of two experienced Change & Configuration professionals for a long-standing managed IT service delivered to a government sector client. The service is transitioning from an offshore-only delivery model to a blended onshore/offshore model, and there is now an urgent requirement to build out the onshore team.

This is a newly formed onshore team, joining a well-established offshore team who will provide full knowledge transfer, alongside a wider change function already in place. Processes and governance forums are already established the priority is for new joiners to embed quickly and pick up delivery of business-as-usual service.
