About the role

We are recruiting a Senior Programme Manager who wants to see their work making a difference to people's futures through education. As part of a community of change leaders delivering strategic and tactical programmes, you will be responsible for defining, shaping and coordinating people, process and technology change globally, improving access to education and life opportunities for millions of people. The successful applicant will be responsible for multiple programmes and be fundamental in determining their successful delivery. Each programme will provide its own challenges and opportunities. You may join a business change programme during its Discovery phase and take ownership of direction setting, strategic stakeholder engagement and programme start-up. For another, you could be accountable for diagnosing and delivering the corrective adjustments necessary to get a multi-million-pound critical IT programme back on track. Equally, you may pick up a mature product innovation programme, orchestrating its continued delivery and expansion into new geographies and customer groups. In all cases you will need to demonstrate the ability to engage, motivate, lead and develop colleagues at all levels – both within and outside of your direct team. Experience, adaptability, positivity and proactivity are essential. As a senior practitioner you will also be expected to take on additional responsibilities through departmental, team and line management activities to grow the capability and community of the team in which you sit. We are a modern organisation with a proud legacy and a global reputation for excellence. As one of the oldest established media organisations in the world we have been on a digital transformation journey and now are looking for people who can help us move beyond good to world-leading in the digital era. We offer continuous learning opportunities including mentoring, coaching, communities of practice and the resources you need to grow your career in whichever direction you choose. Whether you want to increase your expertise or broaden your skills and career experience, we will support you.
