Key Tasks/Responsibilities

• Establish and lead high-performing project teams, clarify accountabilities, develop robust delivery plans and secure the resources required for success.
• Monitor portfolio performance and provide accurate, timely reporting on delivery, costs, milestones, resources, dependencies and benefits.
• Ensure all projects comply with internal governance and external quality, regulatory and compliance requirements.
• Proactively identify and remove delivery barriers, ensuring projects remain on schedule, within budget and aligned with agreed outcomes.
• Lead multiple complex and interdependent projects, balancing priorities and managing cross-project risks and dependencies.
• Provide authoritative direction and sound decision-making, while coaching, mentoring and developing Project Managers and wider project teams.
• Develop and embed effective project policies, processes and standards that support the team’s strategic and operational priorities.
• Provide senior portfolio governance and assurance across the full suite of projects, maintaining delivery standards and producing clear reporting for internal, external and C-suite stakeholders.

• Apply PRINCE2 principles consistently across planning, governance, controls, reporting and delivery assurance.
• Own robust risk, issue and dependency management, ensuring timely escalation, effective mitigation and transparent reporting.

What are we looking for?

• Excellent written, verbal and reporting skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly to senior and C-suite stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capability, with a solution-focused approach that presents practical options and recommendations rather than problems alone.

• Substantial experience within a business process outsourcing (BPO) environment or a closely related operational setting.
• Demonstrable experience of managing BPO TUPE projects and associated operational change.
• Current PRINCE2 Practitioner accreditation, with the ability to apply the methodology proportionately and effectively.
