Summary

We’ve come a long way over the last few years with establishing an organisational approach to managing projects and beginning to embed this way of working.  We are now in the process of developing a new strategy for the charity along with accompanying plans that will deliver the impact we want to make.  Much of our priority activity will need to be delivered as projects within our portfolio of change.  To support this, we will need to further evolve our project management skills and expertise.

This senior role within our Portfolio Office will play a key part in this.

A proportion of the role, roughly 50%, will include managing projects supporting the effective delivery of our portfolio of priority projects.

As the profession of project management continues to evolve in light of ever-changing external contexts, the role will be responsible for responding to emerging trends ensuring the charity fosters good practice.
