Head of Programme Management
6 months ago
We are looking for a Head of Programme Management to join the Our Future Plan function within Regulation and Compliance.
The role is more than traditional project management - it’s about understanding the connections between how United Utilities creates and sets its strategy - and how those strategies come to fruition. It's about being able to see the big picture and also understanding the finer points of planning, analytics, data and process.
You will be expected to be involved in the strategic planning process on some of United Utilities biggest programmes including the Price Review, Water Resources Management Plan, Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan, and Water Industry National Environment Programme. You will be leading the Programme Management activities for a portfolio of strategic projects.
**Accountabilities**:
- To lead United Utilities programme management for strategic regulatory projects including cyclical projects such as Drought Plan, WRMP, DWMP, WINEP, DWI and Price Review.
- To provide the necessary support on ad-hoc projects, including regulatory submissions outside the usual cycles.
- Ensure that an extensive suite of internal milestones is reached and a far-reaching list of external outputs are delivered to time, cost and quality.
- Understand the regulatory requirements for each programme and translate this into a detailed and executable programme which is capable of close monitoring.
- Manage both the dependencies and the interfaces within the overall programme and against other relevant business activities.
- Indirectly secure contributions and cooperation from well in excess of 100 people across United Utilities and multiple external suppliers.
- To manage the programme and project budgets, monitoring expenditure and costs against delivered and realised benefits as the programme progresses.
- Drive innovation and disruptive approaches to increase efficiency and effectiveness of the programme management discipline.
- To provide full management information on the portfolio of projects to Directors and the Executive.
- To develop Project Managers and other project management office roles, further expanding the core regulatory programme competency within the business and broader Programme Management best practice. Responsible for day to day line management activities within the programme office.
- Expected to deputise for the Director of Strategic and Regulatory Programmes as required, including attendance at Executive governance forums and external meetings with the associated regulators.
**Knowledge and Skills**:
- Extensive experience of delivering regulatory programmes, ideally in the utilities industry.
- Demonstrable track record of delivering fixed deadline programmes through the full project life cycle including resource management, management of multi million pound budgets, external assurance and executive reporting.
- Experienced and comfortable with leading through uncertainty including evolving internal and external requirements.
- Well developed and refined leadership skills with an ability to make decisions and motivate teams to perform to tight deadlines.
- Advanced understanding of data models and architecture and their usage in regulatory submissions.
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Project, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
- Experience of developing bids and bid responses would be advantageous but not essential.
- A member of the Association of Project Management, Prince2 or equivalent professional body.
Masters in Business Administration, Project Management Degree or relevant experience.
