We now seek a dynamic, ambitious individual to join our Delivery Team. 

The Role

As a “Connector” you will play a pivotal role in our mission to provide the UK with faultless broadband at unprecedented speeds.

You will ensure all the T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted by keeping a finger on the pulse of all Delivery work streams, and ensuring your team are working to their highest potential. 

As our Project Control Team Manager, you will be tasked with, but not limited to, some of the items below:

• Leading and helping to build up a lean team of junior PM’s and Co-ordinators.
• Be an enabler of benefits realisation through successful end-to-end delivery of change initiatives.
•  Build cross-workstream relationships to drive strategic alignment for the business objectives.
• Provide detailed reporting on all the Delivery department’s workstreams.
• Design custom project delivery ecosystems with your expertise in Waterfall, Scrum, Kanban, and/or other hybrid frameworks.
• Detailed task and people management.
• Orchestrate and support the wider team’s mission.
• Orchestrating and delivering on a set of KPIs.
• Driving the accountability plan.
• Working with the Chief Delivery Officer and HoDs to explore new ways of working and technology that will add to our levelling up plan.
