Job description
Programme Manager, Senior Project Manager, Portfolio Management, Remote
Programme Manager / Senior Project Manager, Large Portfolio Management required to work for a Professional Services company based in Central London. However, due to Covid-19, this is 100% remote. It is optional for you to travel to Europe and the States every now and again, but this is ‘optional’. Please read in full before applying…
We ideally need someone from a Professional Services background (or even someone from Banking / Financial Services, for instance) who has extensive Programme Management and Stakeholder Management experience. The Stakeholders must NOT just be in IT (for instance). We need a Programme Manager / Senior Project Manager who has worked on significant, business critical Programmes where your stakeholders are the likes of the COO, the CFO or even Partners of the CEO themselves!
This individual MUST also have delivered Programmes / Projects related to key business areas in the past. Any significant platform or portal Programme Management experience would be welcomed. They operate a blend of Prince 2 and AGILE / Scrum Methodologies.
Something to be aware of as well is this employer is linked to a 3rd party where you would be employed by the 3rdparty organisation but exclusive to the company. The reason for this is because of streamlining the amount of international people they hire. There will be a base salary, a 3% pension, a discretionary bonus (paid at 5% 2 years ago and 20% last year, so it can fluctuate) and there is no private health care.
Also, due to the company structure and how hierarchy works in this business, although we are looking for a Programme Management level candidate, your title will be Senior Project Manager. You would report into the Programme Manager who is realistically more like a Programme Director. Read on for more details…
