The Role
IT is key to meeting the above challenges and the Programme Director role was created to deliver a wide reaching range of solutions targeted at enhancing NBCU's existing service offerings and establishing the Digital Entertainment offering.
Reporting to the IT Director, the role works closely with Marketing, Sales & Operations to define and deliver NBCU's Business Change Programme.
Client Feedback
The recruitment process was thorough with Gillamor Stephens interviewing both the Head of IT and HR to agree the approach and define the role specification. From this they identified a number of candidates and discussed, with the Head of IT, their suitability. As a result of this 4 strong candidates were put forward for interview and 2 went forward to the final interview stage from which the current Programme Director was successful. As part of the interview stage NBCU and Gillamor Stephens reviewed each candidate and feedback was provided to all.
With the appointment of the Programme Director, IT are now leading and facilitating the transformation programmes, one of which will yield $90m in cost savings!
