**Job summary**:
**About the IPA**

One of the primary ways in which government fulfils its policy commitments, as well as addressing its transformation agenda, is through the initiation and delivery of large complex projects. Projects in government cover a very wide spectrum, from massive infrastructure projects such as HS2, through to military equipment, information technology and transformation projects. Additionally, the Government has embarked on a Transition Period after our exit from the EU that has a large portfolio of enabling programmes. The breadth and diversity of our portfolio is greater than any in the private sector.

The IPA is the government’s centre of expertise for infrastructure and major projects. We sit at the heart of government, reporting to the Cabinet Office and HM Treasury. We have a unique view from the centre of the whole portfolio and our purpose is to continuously improve the way infrastructure and major projects are delivered. We aspire to create the best-performing project system of any country in the world.

In order to deliver real system-wide reform we focus on the three ‘P’s: people, principles and performance:

- ** People**: Ensuring our people have the tools, competence and skills they need to deliver.
- ** Principles**: Being clear about the principles of delivery and getting the basics right.
- ** Performance**: Drive a step-change in performance, together with industry, so we can meet future challenges.

To deliver our purpose and create opportunities to achieve better outcomes, we aim to live by our values of trust, collaborate and respect. We are looking for people to share these values to work with us and continue to make the IPA a great place to work.

The mission of the IPA Defence Team is:
To influence and inspire the Defence enterprise to achieve consistent world-class Project Delivery, adding value by:

- **_ Supporting_**_ - de-risking the most complex and high-risk projects_
- **_ Developing_**_ - skills and capability in the people who deliver projects_
- **_ Learning_**_ - lessons from projects and feeding them back into the system_
- **_ Overseeing _**_- the project life cycle, from policy, initiation and financing to independent assurance_

**_in order to promote UK security_**_ and other Government priorities._

**Job description**:
A deep knowledge of project, programme and portfolio leadership and management (“Project Delivery (PD)”) is essential. Proven experience as a Project Delivery Professional and/or Transformation Consultant in Defence, Security and large-scale complex projects or programmes is highly desirable, as is Developed Vetting security status (DV).

**Key responsibilities will include**:

- Leading the delivery challenge and support across a significant part of the Government’s portfolio working with your Departments and project types
- Leading stakeholders to, build and maintain the assurance and approvals framework for your area of responsibility, engaging with Cabinet Office and HM Treasury to align perspectives, as well as controls, in the interests of successful delivery; representing IPA on HM Treasury Approval Panels
- Taking shared leadership for meeting key performance indicators and assisting Departments to deliver their Spending Review commitments
- Building and cultivating strong, trusted relationships with senior stakeholders (e.g. Director Generals’, Senior Responsible Owners, Programme Directors)
- Creating strong networks at the heart of government including other Functions and with HM Treasury.
- Being a source of knowledge and expertise not only on project delivery but on your programmes, briefing and advising at the most senior level on programme health and deliverability
- Leading on elements of the strategic engagement between IPA and wider government

**Person specification**:

- Strong leadership maturity and excellent advisory skills. Must be capable of promoting and delivering continuous individual and team development to enhance people capability
- Significant project delivery experience, including a robust understanding of the end-to-end project life cycle and the risks that need to be managed in major projects
- Ability to think strategically in Government, working with senior leaders to maintain oversight and provide challenge and support to project delivery and portfolio management
