Whether it’s launching a student business or learning how to manage money, we help young people develop key life skills—teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and resilience.

- Like turning data, insight and feedback into practical improvements.
- Have experience overseeing complex programmes and know how to balance support, challenge and accountability.
- Can prioritise effectively and focus on the activities that will have the greatest impact.
- Build strong relationships quickly and enjoy working with a wide range of stakeholders.
- Are energised by improving services and finding better ways of doing things.
- Want to use your skills and experience to make a tangible difference to young people's lives.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead and develop a high-performing team of Programme Managers, helping them deliver their best work and grow their impact.

- Use performance data, insight and evidence to drive decisions, improve outcomes and maximise impact.
- Provide expert support and leadership when it matters most, helping teams navigate challenges, manage risk and maintain momentum.

- Help shape the future of Young Enterprise's programmes and services, influencing how we support educators and equip young people with the skills they need to succeed.

- This is a hybrid role based in London, with a minimum of 8 office days per month
- You’ll have the opportunity to visit some of the participating schools and colleges across the UK
