Organisational Design SME | Product-Based Operating Model

• Contract Length: 3 – 6 Months
• Location: Canberra Preferred (Hybrid) | Interstate candidates considered where Canberra travel is workable

About the position:

Some roles are about maintaining an environment.

This one is about helping reshape it.

Our client which is a Government Department is looking to onboard an ‘Organisational Design Subject Matter Expert (SME)’ to help redesign their operations. This senior Organisational Design SME will lead a high-visibility advisory engagement focused on moving from a traditional functional structure to a product-based operating model.

This is not an implementation role.

It is a pure design and executive advisory engagement.

The organisation needs someone who can step into an ambiguous environment, make sense of how the business should define its products or service lines, design an organisational structure around them, and provide executive-level recommendations that can guide future decision-making.

You will be working directly with senior leadership and producing a board-quality Recommendation Report and executive briefing materials.

What the engagement involves:

• Defining the organisation’s product or service groupings
• Designing a recommended organisational structure aligned to those products
• Identifying capability, accountability, and structural considerations
• Documenting risks, trade-offs, and transition challenges
• Producing executive-ready recommendation and briefing material

This role is suited to someone who has genuinely led organisational design work – not someone who has only supported it from the sidelines.

What they are looking for

• Strong organisational design or operating model consulting experience
• A background redesigning structures, functions, or service-line models
• Experience working directly with Executives, Boards, CEOs, Deputy Secretaries, or equivalent stakeholders
• Public sector consulting or government advisory exposure
• A track record producing recommendation reports, operating model reviews, or executive briefing packs
• Experience working through politically sensitive or ambiguous environments

Importantly, this role requires someone who understands product-based operating models in a government context – structuring around services or product families rather than traditional functional hierarchies.

This role is probably for you if:

• You enjoy bringing structure to ambiguity
• You are comfortable operating at executive level
• You can balance strategy with practical organisational realities
• You know how to navigate stakeholder sensitivity without losing momentum
• You are confident writing clear, defensible recommendations
• You prefer influence and advisory work over BAU delivery

This is the kind of engagement where strong operators stand out.

If your background aligns with organisational design, operating model advisory, and executive-facing public sector engagements, we’d be keen to speak further. You are also welcome to connect with me on LinkedIn or reach out directly via email at Sanat.Anmadwar@talentinternational.com for a confidential discussion.

We’re seeking a Senior Business Process Specialist/ Associate Lead with strong capability in business process improvement and operational transformation to help drive meaningful change across people, process, and technology.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in collaborative environments, enjoys solving complex operational problems, and has a structured, data-led approach to improvement. You’ll play a key role in identifying inefficiencies, analysing current-state operations, and shaping practical, high-impact solutions that improve how work gets done.

What you’ll be doing

You will work closely with senior stakeholders, initially within underwriting, to:

• Lead business process improvement and operational transformation initiatives
• Facilitate workshops with stakeholders to map, challenge, and redesign end-to-end processes
• Analyse current-state operations to identify pain points, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities
• Use data and structured problem-solving techniques to develop evidence-based recommendations
• Translate findings into clear, practical future-state process designs
• Support the implementation of improvements across business and technology teams
• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence
• Produce high-quality process documentation, including process maps and workflow analysis

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience in business process improvement / operational transformation
• Solid Lean Six Sigma capability (Green Belt or Black Belt highly regarded)
• Proven ability to facilitate workshops and engage senior stakeholders confidently
• Experience in process mapping tools such as Signavio, Visio, Miro or similar
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify root causes and improvement opportunities
• Ability to work effectively across both business and technology teams
• Excellent communication, influencing, and relationship-building skills
• A structured, practical approach to problem solving and delivery

Nice to have:

• Insurance or financial services experience
• Exposure to Agile environments
• Experience using data insights / Power BI to support analysis

Why this role?

This is a high-impact opportunity to work in a highly collaborative, relationship-driven environment where your expertise will directly shape better ways of working across the business. You’ll be empowered to challenge the status quo, influence change, and deliver tangible operational improvements.

If this sounds like you, please apply with your updated CV or contact Jenny for a confidential chat: jenny.nguyen@talentinternational.com

Note:

• You must be currently based in New Zealand
