Job Description

If you’re a high‑potential future leader looking for a role that accelerates your development, expands your influence, and puts you at the heart of strategic decision‑making — this is it.

We’re hiring a Special Projects Lead to take on transformative, high‑visibility initiatives across Rotork. You’ll partner directly with senior leadership, work cross‑functionally, and own projects that shape our next phase of growth as part of the Growth+ Strategy.

This is a role for someone who wants to lead, not follow — someone who enjoys ambiguity, builds strong relationships, and thrives in a space where ideas turn into outcomes

    What you’ll lead

    • Act as a trusted adviser to senior leadership, providing insights that drive key decisions
    • Own and deliver complex, cross‑functional projects, ensuring they align to our strategic priorities and deliver real outcomes
    • Partner with the Head of Business Development on assessing acquisition targets and leading M&A integration activities
    • Bring clarity to ambiguity — defining scope, designing success metrics, and aligning stakeholders.
    • Build powerful internal networks by connecting engineering, product, operations, and commercial teams
    • Take a structured approach to planning, risk management, and KPI tracking, ensuring accountability and measurable progress
    • Champion continuous improvement and embed best‑practice ways of working across the organisation

    Why this role is a future‑leader springboard

    • Direct exposure to senior leaders and the ability to influence direction at pace
    • End‑to‑end ownership of strategic initiatives that have material impact on the business
    • A broad, enterprise‑wide view that prepares you for future leadership roles in product, strategy, operations, or commercial
    • The chance to shape how Rotork evolves — not just contribute to it
    • A culture where high performance, curiosity, and initiative are recognised and rewarded

    Qualifications

    What we’re looking for

    • Experience leading strategic, cross‑functional projects in a complex or fast‑moving environment
    • Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders
    • Strong analytical thinking and a desire to deliver outcomes that genuinely move the needle
    • Background in M&A, product portfolio evaluation, or integration is a strong advantage
    • Someone who thrives with autonomy, embraces change, and enjoys working on a wide variety of challenges
