• Build detailed capability and functional models across enabling functions and delivery units
• Design service models for centrally delivered services, including funding approaches, demand management, prioritisation, and service standards
• Map cross-functional workflows and integration points to ensure coherent, end-to-end service delivery
• Define transition states and pathways from current to future operating model

What you’ll bring

• Strong experience in public-sector TOM design or business architecture
• Ability to work at detailed, operational levels, not just conceptual frameworks
• Understanding of public-sector governance, accountability, and service-delivery contexts
• Excellent analytical, structural design, and stakeholder-engagement skills
