Jobbeschreibung

Relocation to the United States — Norfolk, Virginia. We provide the NATO-5 visa for you and your family.

This post is a full employment contract with our delivery partner, with the benefits that go with it — not a contractor or B2B arrangement. Agreeing to be employed is the first condition of the role.

A multinational defence organisation develops the communications and information systems that deploy with its forces. This is the programme management seat: keeping issues, risks and quality under control across a portfolio of interdependent projects.

What You Would Be Doing

• Handling issues and changes through the established processes and giving clear situational awareness on every one of them.
• Capturing and logging every programme issue affecting the capability.
• Sequencing activities and milestones, and keeping the plan honest.
• Reviewing staff reports, management products and project specifications for clarity and content.
• Running programme and project quality reviews and audits, using both qualitative and quantitative techniques.
• Capturing operational lessons from exercises and live operations, and turning them into identified capability gaps.
• Owning the programme risk log: identifying, estimating, evaluating and preparing responses.
• Reconciling the reporting databases so project expenditure is represented accurately to the stakeholder group.
• Communicating timely, analysed and well-presented information to the people it affects.

What you would bring

• A university degree in project or programme management, engineering, computer science, telecommunications or a closely related field.
• At least five years in project management of communications or information systems, using a recognised method such as MSP, PRINCE2 or PMI.
• At least three years managing risks and issues in a complex, interdependent programme.
• At least three years applying change management in a capability programme.
• At least three years running programme and project quality reviews and audits.
• At least three years in deployable communications or signals as a subject matter expert.
• At least three years in an alliance or multinational military environment.
• Fluent professional English.

This is a long engagement that renews year on year, not a short project.
