Programme Manager, Business Outcomes, Programme Governance, Business Change, Operational Programme Manager, Part Remote
While professional experience and qualifications are key for this role, make sure to check you have the preferable soft skills before applying if required.
Programme Manager / Operations Programme Manager within Business Outcomes is required to work for a large and growing Professional Services business based in Central London. This will be 3 days in the office per week and 2 days from home.
We DONT want an IT Programme Manager but we do want someone with a blend of Operations and IT within Programme Management. Historical skills of managing a large portfolio of projects and programmes, spinning lots of plates and proven battle scars where you have faced off to difficult stakeholders would certainly be welcomed. The business loves pragmatic individuals and, as there will be heavy Governance working in this highly regulated environment, we need you to have a strong background in Governance too.
You will need to storyboard your experience both in your CV and at potential interview. The key interest will be business outcomes. What impact did the programme (that you were in charge of) have on the overall business. This will be all about the influence YOU had, what YOU brought to the table, what YOU were responsible for, what things looked like when you walked in and what it looked like at the end
