The Ogden Trust is a family charitable trust which supports the teaching and learning of physics.

We are looking for an experienced programme manager with strong skills in stakeholder management and communication to support the leadership of the programme.

At UK Biobank, we help researchers answer some of the biggest questions about human health. Behind the scenes, that means bringing together people, data, and systems in ways that are thoughtful, well-governed, and built for long-term impact.

We’re now looking for a Programme Manager to take responsibility for the delivery of UK Biobank’s Data Linkage Programme, a strategically important area of work for the organisation. This is a role for someone who enjoys building clarity where things are evolving, connecting people across disciplines, and turning complex ambitions into progress that sticks.

As a pioneering and inclusive organisation, we value collaboration, curiosity, and practical delivery and we’re excited to offer a role where you can genuinely shape how something new takes form.

You’ll report to the Director of Projects and Change and be accountable to the Director of Data Linkage, ensuring the programme approach aligns with organisational frameworks while accommodating the specific technical, governance, legal, and partnership considerations that come with data linkage.

This role suits someone who can bring momentum to environments with multiple perspectives, competing priorities, and evolving requirements — helping interdependent initiatives move forward and deliver lasting value.

You will be responsible for:

• Translating strategy into deliverable programmes by aligning multi-disciplinary teams, managing interdependencies and navigating complex constraints.
• Defining and maintaining a clear programme vision, roadmap, outcomes and success measures aligned to organisational strategy and portfolio priorities.
• Assessing and shaping resourcing and capability across multi-disciplinary teams to deliver current and future data linkage ambitions.
• Identifying and managing programme risks and constraints, particularly around data quality, governance, ethics and timeliness, working with partners to mitigate impact.
• Providing pragmatic, hands-on leadership when needed, contributing to critical work while maintaining programme direction and long-term sustainability.

Is this 'you'?

You’re comfortable working in complex, governance-heavy environments and enjoy bringing structure and progress to work that spans teams and organisations. You balance strategic thinking with practical delivery and communicate clearly with a wide range of stakeholders.

To be successful, you will have:

• Strong programme management capability including planning, dependency management, governance, assurance and benefits realisation with a proven track record of leading the development and delivery of complex, large scale programmes.  
• Demonstrable experience working in highly regulated or governance-heavy environments, such as health research, public sector or data driven organisations. 
• Proven ability to manage risk, uncertainty and change, including issues relating to data quality and external dependencies.
• Experience leading large, multi-disciplinary project teams within a matrix management structure, with strong stakeholder management skills and an ability to operate across organisational boundaries.

We are looking for a dynamic and experienced programme manager who will oversee The Advice Workforce Development Fund (AWDF). AWDF is a collaborative programme dedicated to strengthening and sustaining the social welfare advice sector in London. The role will coordinate and run steering and advisory groups, and ‘task and finish’ groups, working with cross-sector stakeholders to enable the implementation of recent recommendations generated by research commissioned by the programme, and help with monitoring and evaluating the project and funded projects under this programme. The successful candidate will have strong project management skills, a commitment to social justice, and a track record of delivering impactful support to external partners.

The workforce development programme was created after working closely with a group of funders and advice sector representatives who are now steering group members. The programme has reached an exciting stage, as it transitions from a foundation-laying and research phase into more of a focus on influencing and implementation of the learning generated to date, while also maintaining and strengthening new and existing relationships. This role, with support from the Head of Sector Support and Grants and the CEO, will oversee the continued development and delivery of this exciting partnership into the longer-term. This role will also work closely with the Propel initiative under London Funders to ensure effective coordination of work is done at all levels.  

As the Project Manager - Data Programmes, you'll work closely with our Head of Data Science and Head of Volunteer Programmes to triage, scope, and manage our projects and to ensure we deliver impactful, responsible data science solutions for our partners. This includes leading and managing some of our key support programmes.

About DataKind UK

Effective data use has the potential to transform an organisation's impact by improving decision-making, maximising operational efficiency, and ensuring service delivery is evidence-based. A lack of access to responsible data science skills and techniques in the third sector means it isn’t having the impact it could.

We provide a variety of free and contracted support services to help third sector organisations achieve their missions, encourage innovation, and improve decision making, problem solving, and practices.

Since 2013, more than 2,200 DataKind UK volunteers have supported over 300 charities—from large organisations like St John Ambulance and Action for Children to local food banks and campaigning charities—helping them better understand their users, evaluate what's working, streamline routine tasks, and ultimately better tackle society's biggest challenges. 

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for an experienced, people-oriented project manager who is excited to help us deliver and scale innovative data programmes. You will work directly with organisations from across the third sector to understand their missions and translate their challenges into well-scoped projects. You will also support teams of volunteer data experts to scope projects and deliver impactful data science solutions.

You don't need to write code or run analysis yourself, but you should be comfortable working alongside technical experts, asking the right questions to scope data projects, and translating between technical and non-technical stakeholders. You'll need to hold conversations with data scientists about what's feasible, help charity partners understand what's possible with their data, and know when to bring in additional technical expertise.

If you don’t have all the experience and skills listed below, please still consider applying. We don’t expect a candidate to have 100% of these, but we do want to know that you have relevant experience and an appetite to learn in other areas.

Essential skills and experience

• Project management: You are a skilled project manager, successfully leading projects involving multiple stakeholders from conception to completion. You have experience managing multiple projects at once and can successfully prioritise and juggle competing demands. You can plan ahead, allocate resources, identify and mitigate risks, and bring in additional expertise as required.
• Scoping and needs assessment: You have experience collaborating with clients/stakeholders to assess their challenges, translate them into project plans, evaluate their feasibility, and create delivery plans.
• Volunteer and/or people management: Experience recruiting, training, coordinating, or managing volunteers or managing people over whom you do not have direct authority (eg. contractors/freelancers). Comfortable leading multi-skilled teams in a remote-first environment, fostering collaboration within newly established groups.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and strong active listening skills. You have experience being the main liaison for a project or programme, providing regular updates to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You’re not afraid to ask clarifying questions in areas that are new to you. You are skilled at distilling the key insights or next steps in project meetings to ensure clarity on the big picture and details.

Desirable

• Experience managing or delivering data-related or social tech projects.
• Experience volunteering or working with volunteers.
• Familiarity with CRMs and/or project management software.
• Experience working or volunteering in the UK nonprofit/charity sector.
• Knowledge of the UK nonprofit/charity landscape and common digital, data, or tech challenges facing third sector organisations.
• Understanding of privacy, ethics, or responsible data and AI.
• Experience with impact measurement or evaluation frameworks.

Qualities

• You are aligned with DataKind UK’s core values: curious, responsible, collaborative.
• You have an interest in data, are willing to work with technical volunteers, feel comfortable asking questions, and are keen to learn more!
• You are self-directed and goal-oriented, and like working independently.
• An approachable, friendly people-person, you enjoy building productive relationships with people from different backgrounds and experience levels, and communicating with a wide range of stakeholders.
• You thrive in an environment where every day is a bit different, and you are happy working flexibly and adaptively. 
• You are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. You believe and act in a way that celebrates and encourages a range of experiences, views, and values.
• You like to learn and can quickly absorb and synthesise information from new domains. You know what you don’t know and are comfortable asking questions or for help. You can switch between big-picture and detail-oriented thinking.
• You are a collaborative team player, and happy to jump in and support team members where needed. You care more that good things happen than who gets the credit.

Working hours and location 

This is a full-time role (35 hours per week); however we will consider part-time options (28 or 32 hours per week) for a strong candidate. Working hours are flexible, but we ask that 75% of working time is within the hours of 10am and 6pm, to facilitate team working and real-time collaboration.

The role requires regular out-of-hours commitments - roughly one weekend per quarter and 2-4 evenings per month for volunteer events. This work is part of, rather than additional to, your hours, and you must take time off in lieu for any extra working hours.

We have a preference for candidates able to work from our office space in London at least one day per week. There may be occasional national travel within the UK for other events and conferences, with reasonable expenses covered.

You must have the right to work in the UK.

Benefits

• Working in a small, flexible, hybrid team where you are trusted to manage your time and your projects. If you need to take time out of the day to go to a dentist appointment or for your child’s school play, go ahead! We are focused on outputs over time spent at your desk.
• Onboarding and continual development of data science, analytical, and technical knowledge.
• 27 days of annual leave + 8 public holidays.
• 5% employer pension contribution.
• Employee Support plan.
