You’ll turn data into meaningful insight, really exploring the “so what” element to help answer the key question: what can we deliver, when, and with the people we have? 

If you enjoy influencing decisions, working across teams, and shaping how large programmes are delivered, this is a role where you can have real impact. 

What you’ll bring 

• Forecasting and modelling resource demand and capacity in complex environments 
• Turning data into clear, practical insight to support decision making 
• Influencing and building alignment without direct authority 
• Communicating clearly with senior and non-technical stakeholders 
• Working confidently where there is uncertainty or competing priorities 
• Strong analytical thinking combined with sound judgement 

Experience in large transformation programmes, portfolios or regulated environments would be helpful, but isn’t essential. 

We are looking for someone with strong initiative, ownership and delivery instincts, who thrives in fast-moving environments, sees gaps before others do and naturally steps in to make things happen.

We are looking for someone with proven experience in project coordination, programme delivery or operations. What matters most is demonstrable ownership and delivery, not time served.

You may have come from a background in innovation support, startups, accelerators, entrepreneurship programmes, universities, events, consultancy, community building, or other fast-paced operational environments. Most importantly, we are looking for someone who:

• Takes ownership and has initiative
• Is highly organised and thrives managing multiple moving parts
• Communicates confidently with diverse stakeholders
• Learns quickly, adapts fast and stays calm under pressure
• Sees gaps before others do and steps in to solve problems
• Genuinely enjoys making ambitious projects happen
