Programme Manager required to work for a Global Professional Services company based in various locations around the world! The preference is hiring someone who lives in the UK, but we could also look at candidates from the likes of Ireland, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, France and even South Africa! Other locations would work, but they have to be a in a reasonable time-zone close to the of the UK.
In a nutshell, we need a seasoned Programme Manager who has Global capability, a Digital vision (with proven Digital experience) and solid exposure to reporting into Senior Management and dealing with stakeholders at the highest level.
The purpose of the role is taking over from the existing Programme Manager (who is relocating to New Zealand) and helping to deliver a major, Global portal that will be the new tool to onboard clients – there are currently circa 500,000 of them, so this is a MASSIVE piece of work for the company.
The Global Portal is a single digital client interface that streamlines the service delivery across all service lines and strengthens the client relationships.
Once this Programme has been delivered, it has the opportunity to progress into a Business Stream Lead role for Digital Services…so pretty much a Global Lead within Digital Innovation.
As the role is Global, there will be ‘some’ global travel to the like of the Netherlands and the United States, but this will not be too taxing. The rest can be fully remote but there will be the odd call that will be in unsociable hours, but this can be avoided most of the time if you manage your diary efficiently enough.
