London, Greater London, United Kingdom Greater London Authority (GLA) Full time

Meeting the Mayor's targets for housing

The housing crisis is one of the greatest challenges facing the capital – and the Mayor of London is committed to tackling it. The scale of the challenge is huge and the Greater London Authority (GLA) is working hard to address the housing shortage focusing on affordable housing and providing help for people feeling the effects of the housing crisis across London.

The opportunity

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and committed person to join the GLA's Housing and Land Directorate. We are looking for a Senior Programme Co-ordinator to join our Programme Team and work on all aspects of programme management for key housing programmes within the Mayor's housing and land portfolio.  This vacancy is for a permanent position in the Programme Team and potentially a further fixed term contract for 12 months may also be available.  

The person

The role would suit someone with experience of working on large scale programmes, with a flair for insightful data analysis and experience in developing procedures and processes that continually improve reporting and monitoring.  Our ideal candidate is self-motivated and proactive, can manage multiple programmes in a fast paced and changing environment and can demonstrate excellent attention to detail. You will have the ability to manage relationships across a range of stakeholders and colleagues with different backgrounds and experience. You will be used to working in a team environment, sharing ideas, and developing innovative approaches to improve processes and delivery in an open and collaborative way.  

We are looking for someone who is confident in using data and analysing information to create robust and effective management reports and tools that will help the directorate to deliver programmes. You should be able to create tools and functions using Excel or other data management software and be able to demonstrate proven problem-solving and analytical abilities.  Well-developed communication skills would assist you to develop and implement operational guidance and translate analysis from large and complex programmes into clear messages and recommendations for colleagues and senior staff to deliver organisational objectives.

The ideal candidate should have a strong background in the use of data management tools such as JasperSoft, Business Objects, Power BI or similar, plus advanced-level experience with Excel alongside excellent communication skills and a genuine commitment to team working. 

You will lead on preparing information and analysis to help senior management and operational staff monitor and deliver against the Mayor's housing targets. Your work will include providing recommendations to senior staff and other stakeholders to keep programmes on track and look ahead to what's needed for future housing delivery.   

The team

The Programme Team is based in the Housing Land directorate within the GLA. The directorate consists of around 200 people split between housing delivery, policy, land-based development and support teams.  Our overall aim is to deliver the Mayor's housing objectives and improve the lives of Londoners through the work that we do.

The Programme Team consists of two senior managers, three programme co-ordinators, two programme managers and one reporting analyst.  The team is led by the Head of Programme Management and we support the whole directorate to deliver the Mayor's housing and land objectives.  We're a small and well-respected team in the wider GLA and directorate and our focus is always to help improve areas that support delivery of housing programmes. 

Experience

Whilst knowledge of housing, construction or land development would be beneficial, they are not essential and we welcome applications from candidates with experience in other relevant sectors to bring applicable expertise to this role.  The GLA team has a comprehensive training and induction programme to get you up to speed on the key issues related to the role, coupled with wider learning and development to promote individual growth and expertise.
