Transformation Manager Social Domain

Project overview

Transformation Manager Social Domain

The Position

The transformation manager is responsible for the further development of the Social Domain Execution unit and supports the unit head, the management team, and the team managers in realizing future-proof execution. Resident-centered work, craftsmanship, integrated and neighborhood-oriented collaboration, data-driven management, and the further development of strong local teams are important starting points.

The Challenge

Within the Social Domain Execution unit, there is a significant development task to further strengthen service delivery to residents. Societal developments, the increasing complexity of support requests, national reforms within the social domain, and the development towards stronger local teams require a different way of working, collaborating, and managing.

The ambition is focused on future-proof, integrated, and human-centered execution. This means that not only substantive and process-related changes are necessary, but also attention to culture, organization, leadership, collaboration, and behavior. To realize these change tasks in coherence, there is a need for an experienced transformation manager who provides direction, connects, and ensures actual implementation.

What will you do?

As a transformation manager, you act as a catalyst, director, and connecting force within the coherent change tasks of Social Domain Execution. You support the unit head and team managers in translating the strategic direction into concrete changes in daily practice.

The transformation manager will monitor the coherence, progress, and realization of the various change tasks. The responsibility for execution remains explicitly with the line; the transformation manager does not take over this responsibility but ensures direction, connection, acceleration, and results.
