Job description

VACANCY REF: CK3449641

Overview

We’re partnering with a forward-thinking construction consultancy on a key hire: a Programme Manager to lead complex, multi-stakeholder programmes from strategy through to successful delivery. You’ll bring clear thinking, first-class people skills, and the agility to steer programmes in fast-moving environments. Experience delivering large, high-profile programmes—ideally in healthcare—will set you apart, though backgrounds in IT or education are also welcome.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end programme delivery—scope, governance, budget, risk, and benefits realisation.
• Build robust business cases, align stakeholders, and secure approvals.
• Establish and run effective programme controls, reporting, and assurance (PMO).
• Lead multi-disciplinary teams and supply chains to drive outcomes and value.
• Communicate crisply: present milestones, risks, and decisions to boards and senior leaders.
• Champion continuous improvement and business transformation across projects and portfolios.

What you’ll bring

• Proven track record as a Programme Manager on major projects (NHS/healthcare strongly preferred; IT/education considered).
• Sharp critical-thinking and problem-solving skills; calm under pressure.
• Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing skills at all levels.
• Demonstrable experience crafting persuasive business cases and delivering board-level presentations.
• Solid grasp of programme methodologies and PMO practices (e.g., MSP, PRINCE2, APM).
• Strong organisation and multi-project juggling in a pacey, change-oriented setting.
• Degree (Business/Project Mgmt or related). PMP/PRINCE2/MSP advantageous.

Why join

• Work with a consultancy that’s scaling, innovating, and investing in its people.
• Visible impact on complex, community-shaping programmes.
• Inclusive, collaborative culture; genuine agile/hybrid working.
• Competitive package with clear progression.

How to apply

If you’re a proactive, results-driven Programme Manager who enjoys the variety and challenge of major programmes—particularly in healthcare—we’d love to hear from you.
