About this job

The MS Society is in the process of implementing a transformational change programme known as Project Orange.  Through the implementation of Project Orange the MS Society will become a more efficient, agile and innovative organisation, better using data, technology and digital to have scale, improve quality and meet the changing needs of people living with MS.  In doing so, we’ll operate and work in ways that enable us to make more of a difference; achieving more with people living with MS and moving us closer to our ultimate goal to stop MS.

In addition to the oversight of Project Orange, the post holder will play a key role in designing and helping to lead some of the implementation of cross organisational change activities and projects including ensuring our accommodation reflects our desired culture and ways of working and process review and organisational design.
