Job description

The Government Property Agency is the largest property holder in government, with more than £2.1 billion in property assets and over 55% of the government’s office estate.

We are transforming the way the Civil Service works by creating great places to work, leading the largest commercial office programme in the UK, working towards halving carbon emissions from government offices, and achieving greater value for taxpayers. We are looking for innovative, solutions-focused people to join our team.

Representing the best covenant in the UK – His Majesty’s Government – we are leading transformational programmes such as the Government Hubs Programme, Whitehall Campus Programme, and Net Zero Programme, as well as delivering modern, cost-effective real estate service solutions.

Innovation and progress are at the heart of our behaviours. We foster a culture of lifelong learning, where curiosity and self-improvement are encouraged. We’re dedicated to becoming a leading, inclusive employer both in the external market and throughout the Civil Service. Our strong emphasis on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) is not just about driving inclusion across our organisation but also about ensuring our services meet the needs of government departments and the civil servants who use our spaces.

Join our dynamic and diverse team that leads with purpose, improving sustainability, nurturing social value, driving inclusivity and flexibility, and kickstarting economic growth. We are driven by purpose, and you can be part of it too: where you make a meaningful impact; where you influence; where your voice really matters; where you help to shape our future direction.

The GPA is committed to representing the communities we serve by making Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion part of everything we do.

To ensure that we are always recruiting and retaining a diverse mix of talent, we are particularly inviting applications from candidates who are disabled, ethnically or gender diverse, and people who identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community.

The GovPass Programme within the GPA is modernising Access Control Systems across HMG. Delivering a new UK government standard for card encryption, improving building security, and enabling greater interoperability through its innovative technology.

GovPass is operating across the UK in HMG Estate and in some of the most iconic buildings and departments, with an ambition to expand this further over the coming years.

The GovPass Delivery Manager (PMO and Business Change) is a critical role in the operation of the GovPass Programme across the HMG Estate. As the Delivery Manager (PMO and Business Change), you will be responsible for governance, the change strategy, stakeholder engagement, reporting, and continuous improvement.

You will have:

• Outstanding organisational and analytical skills
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement skills and an ability to create a rapport with stakeholders
• Great problem-solving skills with an ability to adapt to changing circumstances in a fast-paced environment

This role, while not having any direct reports, will be the indispensable glue that binds the team together, fostering collaboration, communication, and alignment to achieve shared goals and deliver successful outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Promote a culture of adaptability and continuous improvement within the organisation, helping to build acceptance and support for change initiatives.
• Develop change strategies to align with GovPass objectives.
• Define, implement, and evaluate a stakeholder engagement plan to ensure stakeholders are informed, engaged, and enthused about the Service.
• Establish, apply, and approve PMO standards to govern, support, and monitor performance of the Service.
• Define and deliver training and development plans for the team and the Service.
• Financial, Commercial, Risk, and Resource Management.
• Support the planning and delivery across the various Service strands.
