About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Programme Manager to support the delivery of a major, high-profile transformation initiative. Working alongside a Programme Director, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and driving organisational, digital, and data-driven change across multiple workstreams. This is a unique opportunity to lead strategic transformation at scale, contributing to nationally significant programmes.

Key Responsibilities
- Partner with the Programme Director to coordinate complex programme delivery across multiple workstreams.
- Lead operating model design, organisational design including staffing, redeployment, retraining, and redundancy planning.
- Support the development of a new technology and data strategy.
- Embed automation, digitisation, and self-service capabilities while ensuring effective governance and programme funding oversight.
- Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, including board-level executives, across a complex delivery ecosystem.

Programme Context
This programme is part of a wider transformation driven by government spending reviews and legislative reform. Key initiatives include:
- Affordable Housing Scheme
- Affordable Housing Fund
- National Housing Delivery Fund
- Legislative transformation to support housing reform
- Establishment of a National Housing Bank
These initiatives are due to be operational from April next year, with a strong focus on embedding sustainable change into 2026.

Experience
- Proven experience in operating model and transformation programme delivery.
- Strong understanding of digital and data strategy in change environments.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills, ideally within public sector organisations.
- Ability to lead diverse teams and suppliers in a complex delivery landscape.

About you
- Proactive, solution-driven mindset, able to bring clarity and energy to challenging programmes.
- Candidates with strong stakeholder management but lighter operating model experience may still be considered.
- Public sector transformation experience is highly desirable, though private sector candidates with relevant expertise will also be considered.

Equal Opportunities
McGinley Support Services (Infrastructure) Ltd is committed to the equal treatment of all applicants. We actively encourage applications from women, those with disabilities (permissible to a safety-critical environment), and ethnically diverse or ethnic minority candidates, as these groups are underrepresented in the construction industry.
