Build the Future of GBS at The Magnum Ice Cream Company

We are looking for experienced Transition Managers to join our Global Business Services Strategy & Transformation team.

This is not simply an opportunity to manage a transition plan. It is a chance to help build a greenfield GBS organisation, shape new ways of working, and create the operational foundations for an independent global ice cream company.

As a Transition Manager, you will lead complex, end-to-end process transitions across functions such as Supply Chain, Finance, Procurement and Supplier Operations. You will own the integrated transition journey from solution identification and knowledge transfer through readiness, go-live, Hypercare and sustainable handover to Operations.

You will work at the centre of business, GBS, technology, functional and service-provider teams, connecting multiple workstreams into one executable transition plan. You will drive governance, manage risks and dependencies, challenge readiness where required, and help leadership make informed phase-gate and Go/No-Go decisions.

This role is for someone who can bring structure to complexity, influence senior stakeholders and translate transformation ambition into successful operational delivery.

What you will bring

• At least 8 years of professional experience, including a minimum of 4 years leading end-to-end transitions
• Experience managing transitions within GBS, SSC, BPO or GCC environments
• Strong project governance, risk management and stakeholder-management capability
• Experience working alongside transformation programmes, ERP implementations, carve-outs or demergers
• The confidence to challenge, escalate and protect successful transition outcomes

If you want to do more than inherit an established model, and instead help create one that will define how GBS operates for years to come, this is your opportunity.

Join us and help create the GBS legacy behind some of the world’s most loved ice cream brands.
