Business Change Lead FTC Nest Insight

This is an exciting role in a fast-growing, high impact team. Nest Insight is a leading voice on the financial security issues facing low and moderate income households, and on the solutions that will help to address them. Over the last couple of years, our team has grown significantly alongside our growing impact. We have developed a culture that is flexible and supportive, often encountering challenges for the first time and having to evolve ways of working in real-time to meet those challenges. With that growth comes a need to think again about our ways of working and our operating model, to ensure we can maintain those parts of our culture we've worked hard to develop while also remaining efficient and connected across a larger team and continuing to drive the maximum possible impact.

• Are accountabilities clear and do they make sense, and are they reflected in team and individual objectives?
• How can we organise ourselves to maximise our efficiency and impact? What will this mean for the mix of roles, our approach to resourcing and our team structure moving forwards? Do we have the right day-to-day leadership, management and delivery meetings and forums in place to deliver effectively?
• How can we best communicate and work together effectively as the number of core and temporary team members expands?
• How can we efficiently ensure the whole team has the necessary knowledge and understanding of, and engagement with, our work as the scale of that work grows and without slowing down delivery?
• What initiatives do we need in place to ensure our culture develops in the ways that we want and that supports our people to thrive and deliver their best work?
• What systems and tools could we use to better drive the efficient operation of the team?
