What you do

Support the delivery and roll‑out of the Global Service Delivery (GSD) framework, helping standardise governance, models and ways of working across all GSD locations and lines of business.
Lead end‑to‑end planning and execution of transformation programmes and transitions: defining scope, governance, milestones and KPIs, managing risks and dependencies, and driving successful go‑lives with sending business units.
Ensure transitions into GSDs follow the agreed toolkit and RACI, working closely with sending entities to design pilots, cutover plans and stabilisation, and keeping timelines and quality on track.
Monitor performance of GSD locations and transformation programmes against defined KPIs (FTE, attrition, cost, service levels, etc.), and drive continuous improvement in processes, governance and delivery models using structured feedback and lessons learned.
Establish, run and continually refine governance between sending entities, GSDs and external partners – including contract management, roles and responsibilities, escalation paths and regular review forums.
Partner with HR and local leadership to support workforce planning and capability building, and to foster a strong performance and engagement culture in GSD locations (including programmes such as AES).
Oversee audit readiness and execution for GSDs, ensure compliance with Allianz Partners’ standards and regulatory requirements, and proactively identify, assess and mitigate operational risks to service continuity.
Work effectively in an environment shaped by artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, data analytics and cloud-based tools, using insight responsibly and in line with our standards for data governance, security and ethical use.

What you bring

Proven track record in leading complex transformation and/or transition programmes in a shared services, global service delivery, outsourcing or similar environment – able to own the full lifecycle from design to stabilisation, not just a workstream.
Strong governance and stakeholder management skills: you can set up and run effective governance between multiple entities (internal and external), manage expectations, and handle escalations with senior stakeholders.
Solid experience in risk assessment and management in an operations context – you know how to identify operational and transition risks early, quantify impact, and implement practical mitigation plans.
Advanced data analysis and reporting capability: confident working with KPIs across performance, cost, and people metrics, extracting insights and turning them into clear actions for GSDs and sending entities.
Demonstrated ability to work across HR, operations and vendor/partner management – including experience managing or coordinating with external service providers and ensuring alignment with internal standards.
Strong problem‑solving and change mindset: comfortable challenging the status quo, simplifying complex topics, and driving innovation in processes and governance where it improves performance, compliance or customer outcomes.
