At Brookes we share a culture guided by the key principles of generosity of spirit, confidence, connectedness and enterprising creativity.
About the role: As Programme Manager in the Strategic Change and Project Governance Team you will be joining a team with responsibility for the governance and oversight of projects and process improvements within the strategic change portfolio of Oxford Brookes University.
You will be responsible for the successful delivery of a new programme, that is central to the University’s strategic ambitions over the next two years. The role will be diverse and interesting, engaging with stakeholders at all levels and across the business functions of the University.
You will have responsibility for delivering the programme, reporting to the relevant senior committees. This will include resolving issues, initiating corrective action, managing risk, budget, resources and maintaining the overall integrity and coherence of the programme. It will also involve proactive communication with stakeholders and project teams at all levels.
This isn’t a role where you’ll have to “fit in” with existing ways of working. We like creativity and innovation and you can really make an impact and help to shape the agenda.
About you:
We know that sometimes people can be put off applying for a job, but we realise the 'perfect candidate' doesn't exist. So, if you are excited about working for us, go ahead and apply. You could be exactly what we need.
You will have led and managed projects and programmes in a complex change environment, whilst working with multiple stakeholders (including suppliers). Working across institutional/structural boundaries will already be a part of your day to day work, as will leading and influencing staff at all levels to ensure ownership of project objectives.
