Description

The company is running a company-wide File Management project to simplify how colleagues store, organise, find and share files and information.

• Analyse file storage data for volumes, usage, age, duplication and other patterns, and turn the findings into clear insights and recommendations.
• Lead discovery with teams across the business through workshops and interviews, covering file structures, ownership, processes and ways of working.
• Find ways to simplify file management, cut duplication, and improve how information is organised, accessed and shared.
• Examine business processes, specialist file types, applications and other dependencies that could affect migration, working closely with Technology colleagues.
• Help teams set practical future ways of working, including file structures, permissions, ownership, naming conventions and sharing arrangements.
• Turn discovery findings into recommendations on what to keep, archive, delete or migrate, and assess how ready and complex each business area is.
• Produce evidence-based analysis to inform prioritisation and a phased rollout across the organisation.
• Work across Transformation, Strategic Projects and Technology to support implementation and help new ways of working take hold.

• You communicate well in writing and verbally, and can make complex information clear to different audiences.
