Why we're hiring:

WPP is accelerating the adoption of AI across the enterprise, investing in a portfolio of strategic initiatives designed to transform how work gets done across our global business.

Within Enterprise Technology, we're enabling this transformation by building the platforms, capabilities and operating models that will power the next generation of work. From Microsoft Copilot and intelligent automation to emerging AI technologies and agentic workflows, we're embedding AI into the fabric of how WPP operates globally.

We're looking for a Programme Lead (Value & Delivery) to help ensure those investments translate into measurable business outcomes.

This role sits at the heart of WPP's Enterprise AI programme, owning the critical link between delivery and impact. While delivery teams focus on building AI solutions, you'll focus on proving and maximising their value, ensuring solutions become embedded into the way people work and that benefits are measured, evidenced and sustained over time.

You'll work with senior business stakeholders and functional leaders to shape investment decisions, drive adoption at scale and ensure WPP realises the full value of its AI ambitions.

What you'll be doing:

- Own value realisation for WPP's Enterprise AI portfolio, ensuring investments deliver measurable business outcomes and demonstrable return on investment.
- Develop and maintain business cases, benefits frameworks, adoption metrics and executive reporting for senior Technology and Transformation stakeholders.
- Take accountability for the successful adoption and long-term sustainability of AI solutions after go-live.
- Lead the transition of the Enterprise AI opportunity pipeline into permanent in-house ownership, qualifying and prioritising demand before it enters delivery.
- Own the enterprise-wide adoption and measurement framework, establishing baselines, KPIs, benchmarks and reporting standards across multiple business environments.
- Lead the WPP Frontier Lab, evaluating emerging AI products and translating market developments into practical business recommendations.
- Manage the AI Hub demand funnel and agent registry, ensuring opportunities are prioritised effectively and existing capabilities are leveraged before new solutions are created.
- Define and implement the operating model for Enterprise AI, helping establish what business-as-usual looks like as AI scales across WPP.
- Represent AI adoption, value realisation and programme outcomes at steering committees, programme boards and senior leadership forums.
- Lead and develop a small specialist team focused on value tracking, adoption measurement and operational excellence.
- Partner closely with delivery, governance and business stakeholders to ensure a consistent, evidence-led approach to Enterprise AI.

What we are looking for:

- Significant experience leading enterprise transformation, value realisation, programme delivery or business change initiatives within large global organisations.
- A proven track record of owning business cases, benefits frameworks and post-implementation value measurement.
- Experience transitioning programmes from outsourced or partner-led delivery into sustainable in-house ownership.
- Strong commercial and financial acumen, with the ability to build, challenge and defend investment cases.
- Experience working directly with senior stakeholders across functions such as Finance, Shared Services, Tax or Transformation.
- The ability to influence at senior levels while remaining equally effective with operational teams.
- Excellent analytical capability and the confidence to challenge assumptions, methodologies and reported outcomes.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to create executive-ready materials and recommendations.
- Experience leading distributed teams and operating across complex stakeholder environments.

## Nice to have

- Experience with Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft 365 adoption or enterprise-scale AI programmes.
- Familiarity with Viva Insights, Power BI and adoption analytics.
- Background in finance, audit, controls or business performance measurement.
- Experience working within media, advertising, marketing services or similarly complex global businesses.

Who you are:

You're open: We are inclusive and collaborative; we encourage the free exchange of ideas; we respect and celebrate diverse views. We are open-minded: to new ideas, new partnerships, new ways of working.

You're optimistic: We believe in the power of creativity, technology and talent to create brighter futures or our people, our clients and our communities. We approach all that we do with conviction: to try the new and to seek the unexpected.

You're extraordinary: we are stronger together: through collaboration we achieve the amazing. We are creative leaders and pioneers of our industry; we provide extraordinary every day.

What we'll give you:

Passionate, inspired people – We aim to create a culture in which people can do extraordinary work.

Scale and opportunity – We offer the opportunity to create, influence and complete projects at a scale that is unparalleled in the industry.

Challenging and stimulating work – Unique work and the opportunity to join a group of creative problem solvers. Are you up for the challenge?

#LI-Hybrid We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office around four days a week.
