The Local Delivery Lead supports the Solent & South Downs' two Operations Departments, providing oversight of the resource funding, allocations, monitoring and associated reporting throughout the year.
This senior role is crucial to the effective functioning of our Operations Departments.
The role is varied and includes:
• Monitoring and reporting business metrics (Flood and Coastal Risk Management measures)
• Leading on commercial framework-related work
• Supporting the prioritisation of programmes of work, based on resource available
• Supporting, with a strategic overview of specific programmes of work
• Working alongside other G6 technical leads to support delivery of area wide goals
This is an Area-wide role regardless of line management and office base; it is programme focused, rather than project focused.
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.
