Job description

Programme Officer

Job Purpose

To manage all aspects of GLP’s programme office, including administrative elements necessary for delivering various programme management activities. You will align project work with GLP strategy by classifying, selecting, prioritising, and terminating projects.

What we're looking for:

• Supporting multiple and often conflicting priorities in a multi-project environment
• Understanding a range of differing project management methodologies and tools, and knowing when to implement them
• Utilising CRM systems for budget and resource reporting and control
• Working in a fast-paced environment
• Working remotely or in a hybrid environment
• Understanding the importance of deadlines and achieving targets
• High technical knowledge and competence in a variety of CRM and other technology tools to support project management and reporting

What we do:

• Good Law Project is a not-for-profit campaign organisation that uses the law to hold power to account and fight for a fairer, greener future. We take on cases and campaigns where we can make the biggest impact, even against the odds.
• We played a primary role in overturning the prorogation of Parliament in 2019. We challenged the Government’s operation of a fast-track ‘VIP lane’ for PPE contracts awarded to politically connected individuals. Our campaigning contributed to the Met Police opening an investigation into Boris Johnson over the Partygate scandal. In July 2023, we forced the Government to accept that its Net Zero strategy was unlawful and to develop a better plan.
• We achieve positive outcomes in over two-thirds of our cases—either a legal win or a partial victory. Regardless of the outcome, we strive to make positive change.
• See our website for more about our work.
