The Role
Opportunity to be part of an innovative, forward thinking collaborative team who are striving to make the most of cutting edge technology to drive back office transformation and deliver significant benefits to frontline policing?
The ERP project offers an exciting opportunity for a proactive, organised, highly self-motivated individual to join a high profile, transformational venture. The organisation is looking to recruit a Programme Management Office (PMO) Manager to manage the central ERP Programme Management Office.
The Programme Officer Manager will be responsible for providing programme support services initially across the Tri-Force ERP transformational change programme, but with the intention to subsequently support the wider portfolio of projects.
Whilst candidates do not require specific technical IT skills, proven experience of managing busy staff in a Programme environment will be a distinct advantage. In addition the applicant must have strong oral and written communication skills, with high attention to detail and experience of the operation of a busy team environment.
General policing knowledge and project support experience is preferential but not mandatory.
Key Responsibilities
The role will work for and under the direction of the Tri-Force ERP Programme Delivery Director. Each individual work stream will have its own manager/lead, and a close and effective collaborative working relationship with those colleagues will therefore be required.
The Programme Office Manager will ensure that the key programme and project management deliverables – definitions, plans, organisation diagrams, progress reports, issue and risk logs – are in place and suitably current, so that there is a realistic view of all projects, work streams and the programme as a whole at any point in time.
The role may also include supporting the specific programme and project management of particular projects and work streams as required and where there is no dedicated programme or project manager.
Skills & Experience
Demonstrable sound interpersonal skills and the ability to work independently, with ever moving deadlines within an organised and methodical approach is also essential. Openness to change and proactivity are key.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to write reports, correspondence and deliver presentations to a high standard. Good interpersonal skills and a flexible approach to work.
Proficient in the use of MS Office products Excel, Word, Outlook and Project software, with the ability to manipulate spreadsheets.
Experience of supporting multi-disciplinary teams and setting up and managing a programme and project support office.
