Manchester, United Kingdom TransPennine Express Full time

We're TransPennine Express and we're going places. Whether that's helping customers reach their destination, or ensuring our colleagues feel fulfilled and supported in their careers. We're looking for people with drive and enthusiasm to join our amazing team and help push for more progress within the rail industry. We look forward to meeting new faces and eager minds, ready to join our mission of creating a better-connected network in the North and Scotland, for good.

The TransPennine Express franchise will deliver transformational change including a significant number of complex, high value projects. We're looking for a dynamic and naturally organised Programme Manager to play a critical role in the successful delivery of a suite of property related projects. You'll be providing support and structure to Project Managers and Senior Project Managers to direct and control projects that ensure a smooth introduction and successful on-going operation of their projects into BAU within the business.

You will need to solve problems cross-functionally and support project managers in the creation and delivery of their plans ensuring that risks/issues are highlighted and mitigated appropriately, guiding through our programme governance. While others are responsible for delivery, you will be responsible for the overall programme piecing together the jigsaw of complex change, helping the business understand the timeline of activities and interdependencies and inform decision making. You'll also be responsible for the internal governance and assurance of project delivery within the programme.

Excellent project planning and scheduling skills are required to manage the complex programme of change so familiarity with programme and scheduling software is preferred. The role requires excellent communication skills as you will be providing internal and external reports for senior audiences and will support the directorate in preparing communications.

The Successful Programme Manager will ensure that there is a robust programme management framework in place. They will build on both industry and company existing procedures ensuring that the directorate adheres to best practice providing support and guidance to the team as required. Rail or property project experience is desirable but not essential.
