Location: London, Edinburgh or Amsterdam 
Reports to: Transformation Delivery Director, Global Supply Chain & Procurement 
Contract: Full-time, Permanent 

Closing Date - 28th December 2025

About Us 

With over 200 brands sold in nearly 180 countries, Diageo is the world’s leading premium drinks company. Our Supply Chain & Procurement (SC&P) teams source, make and move the iconic brands that help us celebrate life every day, everywhere. 

We are embarking on a multi-year transformation to build a future-ready supply chain — driving productivity, resilience, growth and capability across markets and functions - this role is central to accelerating that journey. 

About the Role 

Reporting to the Transformation Delivery Director, the Transformation Enablement Lead will play a pivotal role in connecting and enabling our major transformation initiatives across Supply Chain & Procurement. 

This is a senior, individual contributor role with high visibility to executive leaders. You will: 

• Create and own the transformation narrative and roadmap across multiple programmes, helping leaders and teams understand where we’re heading and why it matters. 

• Lead change enablement and adoption, building leadership capability and preparing markets and functions to successfully land change at pace. 

• Design and run transformation governance, ensuring progress, risks, decisions and trade-offs are visible and well-managed. 

• Identify and manage interdependencies across initiatives, surfacing potential conflicts early and supporting better sequencing of change. 

• Act as the single point of contact into the enterprise transformation office, aligning function-level work with company-wide priorities. 

• You will deliver through influence rather than direct line control — working with senior stakeholders, programme leaders and virtual teams to drive alignment and follow-through. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Transformation Enablement & Change Leadership 

• Lead the design and delivery of the transformation enablement strategy. 

• Build and embed a consistent transformation narrative and “from–to” story. 

• Equip leaders and teams to act as effective change champions. 

• Oversee strategic communications and messaging that drives clarity, engagement, and momentum. 

• Governance, Portfolio & Interdependencies 

• Design and run portfolio governance routines that provide insight into progress, risks, and outcomes. 

• Maintain a holistic view of transformation performance, working closely with finance and programme teams. 

• Identify and manage interdependencies and cumulative change impacts across initiatives. 

• Integrate roadmaps so that change is sequenced and sustainable for teams on the ground. 

• Stakeholder Engagement & Enterprise Interface 

• Act as the primary interface between Supply Chain & the central transformation office. 

• Build strong relationships with senior leaders, influencing without authority. 

• Simplify complex transformation content into clear, compelling messages for diverse audiences. 

About You 

• You are an experienced transformation and change leader who thrives in complex, global environments and is comfortable operating at portfolio level. 

You bring: 

• Significant experience leading large-scale transformation in FMCG / CPG, supply chain, operations or digital environments. 

• A strong track record in change leadership, including narrative building, adoption planning and senior stakeholder engagement. 

• Experience operating in or alongside a Transformation Office / PMO / portfolio governance environment. 

• Proven ability to manage interdependencies and prioritisation across multiple programmes. 

Capabilities & Skills 

• Transformation leadership: Able to shape direction, work through ambiguity and turn vision into action. 

• Change & engagement: Deep understanding of how to land change at scale and build leadership ownership. 

• Governance & portfolio management: Disciplined in tracking performance, benefits and risk. 

• Stakeholder influence: Confident with senior stakeholders; able to challenge constructively and hold others to account. 

• Strategic communication: Clear storyteller — able to simplify complexity and build conviction. 

• Execution & resilience: Highly organised, delivery-focused and resilient in a fast-moving, demanding context.
