As manager of our South West Resource Planning and Assurance team you will use your considerable talents to lead a high performing team of technical information experts as they support and assure our local delivery teams. Our main focus is to enable and assure workforce and resource planning across our Operations teams, and support and assure contract administration for our teams focused on delivery. You will also, through those subject areas, work with the business and wider Portfolio Delivery Office team to improve our Asset Management and Project, Programme and Portfolio effectiveness and maturity. Ultimately, you’ll make sure, through our work, that our team enables the Integrated Delivery Teams and the wider business to deliver agreed business outcomes.

Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You will be required to have an incident role and make yourself available to respond to incidents or provide business continuity support during an incident. This may attract an additional payment and full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.
As part of the Portfolio Delivery Office, our Resource Planning, Assurance and Skills teams work with Operations teams and Integrated Delivery Hubs across England to help create a better place through our work in Asset and Portfolio, Programme and Project management.

We support and assure the resourcing of our teams, ensure our contractors are paid the right amount at the right time and support other teams with a wide range of other resourcing-based activities.
We are looking for someone who can lead and build a team, networks and communities of practice. An experienced influencer and a great communicator you’ll be happy working collaboratively, able to challenge constructively and comfortable working in an environment of change as we continue to evolve as a team.

Experience in a relevant role or field is essential and professional membership in a relevant field is desirable. An understanding of P3O (Project, Programme and Portfolio Offices) and/or contract administration would also be an advantage.

As the line manager of a team managing a lot of detailed information, you’ll be comfortable delivering through others but have an eye for detail when something isn’t quite right and be able to work with technical processes and people to find a solution that works for all.
Please see the candidate pack for more information around benefits offered.

The post is located in Exeter, but we are happy to receive applications from candidates who are based elsewhere and prepared to manage their teams by a combination of remote working and occasional travel.

As part of the role, you will be required to co-locate and work at other offices. You may also be required to attend national meetings with some overnight
