Job Position(s): Senior Transformation Lead Strategy to Execution

Sony Pictures is hiring a Senior Transformation Lead Strategy to Execution based in Northampton, England. This role sits within Sony Pictures’ global business transformation function, responsible for leading a flagship strategic initiative from design through to delivery across the studio’s cross-functional operations. It suits a senior professional who has moved between management consulting and in-house transformation work, and who understands how large media organisations actually get complex programmes done.

About the Role

The Senior Transformation Lead Strategy to Execution works inside Sony Pictures’ enterprise transformation portfolio, contributing to governance structures that oversee multiple concurrent initiatives across the studio’s global operations. Day-to-day work involves translating high-level strategic direction into structured delivery plans, coordinating across departments that span production, distribution, and corporate functions. This is not a support role, it owns the end-to-end execution of a defined programme within one of the largest entertainment studios in the world.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead a flagship transformation programme from initial scoping through to delivery, maintaining clear accountability for milestones, risks, and outcomes across all workstreams.
• Develop and maintain programme governance frameworks that give senior stakeholders accurate visibility of progress across the transformation portfolio.
• Translate strategic objectives set at executive level into operational delivery plans with clear owners, timelines, and dependencies mapped across business units.
• Coordinate cross-functional working groups across Sony Pictures’ global teams, ensuring alignment between production operations, technology, finance, and commercial functions.
• Identify delivery risks early and build mitigation plans that keep programmes on track without escalating every issue to senior leadership.
• Contribute to portfolio-level reporting, preparing materials that communicate transformation status clearly to stakeholders at varying levels of seniority.

What You Bring

• A background in management consulting combined with demonstrable in-house transformation delivery experience, ideally within media, entertainment, or a global content business.
• Proven end-to-end programme ownership on complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives within large matrix organisations.
• Experience working on enterprise transformation programmes in a global media or studio environment is a genuine advantage here.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage credibly at senior and executive levels.
• Familiarity with structured programme governance approaches and portfolio management disciplines.

Why This Role

Sony Pictures operates one of the most active production and distribution slates in the global entertainment industry, and transformation work here has direct impact on how that content pipeline functions. The Senior Transformation Lead Strategy to Execution sits close to strategic decision-making, with genuine scope to shape how the organisation evolves. Northampton serves as a key operational hub for Sony Pictures’ European functions, making this a well-connected position within the wider studio structure.
