Leading the edge of transformation.
You might know us for the great work we do across our wide variety of projects. We're proud to say it's thanks to our people's diversity of thought, expertise, and knowledge. And when you join us, you'll be a part of this genuinely collaborative environment, where everyone's voice is valued and treated equally.
We're passionate about what we do, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Simply put, this a great place to be. So, when it comes to your life outside of work, ask us about our flexible and remote working policies designed to help you get the most out of life. We actively encourage candidates who are returning to work.
With exciting new opportunities across the UK, we are looking to attract the brightest and best talent, and we have roles suitable for candidates who have a background in PMO and/or Portfolio, Programme and Project Management Services (across all delivery methodologies). Experience of consultancy or implementing technology in programme environments is of interest, but not essential.
Our consulting services are provided across the entire project lifecycle across our key sectors: aviation; defence; security; and local and central government. We solve the most interesting challenges facing organisations today by promoting an innovative and collaborative culture. We develop new ideas and solutions with our clients to address the challenges of today and maximise the opportunities in the future.
You'll feel a great sense of pride supporting organisations across government, defence, national security and critical national infrastructure to realise tangible benefits from transformational change programmes.
Your purpose:
The successful candidate is dynamic, engaging and will excel when working alongside clients. They are driven to affect change and deliver to a high standard in their environments. It is essential you possess effective stakeholder skills and problem-solving ability. With sometimes competing priorities, good time management and prioritisation skills are essential. Our people are inquisitive, pro-active, and reliable partners that can help maximise the value from digital capability and solutions. The successful candidate will help their clients survive and thrive in an increasingly complex world.
What can you bring:
We value qualifications but know that this is no substitute for real world experience. You will bring a working knowledge and demonstrable experience in all or some of the following areas:
- PMO capabilities such as risk & issue management, project planning, scheduling, and monitoring, reporting, governance, requirements capture & management etc., ideally with a specialist in one or more.
- Project management and Project Controls experience within projects and major programmes.
- An understanding of processes and controls needed to ensure projects are a success.
- Problem Solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively to develop solutions.
- Strong communication skills (written and verbal), including presenting information through reports, dashboards and slides as appropriate.
- Experience of practical application of structured, waterfall and agile methodologies (e.g. APM PMQ, PRINCE2, SAFe, MSP, DSDM, Scrum), recognising what levels of governance are appropriate in each situation.
- The ability to build and maintain professional relationships with a diverse set of colleagues, clients, suppliers and other stakeholders.
- An understanding of Agile project delivery, with experience using a variety of supporting tools and techniques (e.g., Planning Increments, SCRUM, Kanban, JIRA, Lean Start Up, Value Proposition Canvas etc.).
- A proactive attitude to learning from your peers and willingness to support junior members of the team technically, whilst being a role model in softer skills.
- Passionate about continuous improvement - identify opportunities to improve project execution.
- Focussed, attention to detail and quality.
