Programme Manager

Programme Manager (Transformation & Adoption)

North West (Hybrid)

Circa £70,000 + benefits

The Opportunity

We’re working with a high-profile, government-backed programme focused on driving productivity and transformation across UK businesses.

This is a unique opportunity to lead sector-focused programmes, helping organisations understand their challenges, adopt new approaches, and deliver measurable improvements.

This is not a traditional PM role — it’s highly visible, external-facing, and sits at the intersection of strategy, engagement, and delivery.

What You’ll Be Doing

* Engage directly with organisations to understand their challenges, maturity, and growth ambitions

* Lead workshops and diagnostic conversations to identify opportunities

* Shape tailored recommendations and programme interventions

* Oversee delivery through a small, multidisciplinary team

* Monitor outcomes and demonstrate impact using meaningful data

* Build strong relationships with businesses, partners, and stakeholders (including government)

* Support the evolution of programme models across different sectors

* Contribute to outreach activity, including events and partnerships

About You

We’re looking for someone credible, commercially-aware, and relationship-driven, who can operate confidently in external-facing environments.

You might come from:

* Business or professional services (e.g. consulting, legal, financial services)

* OR a programme / transformation background with strong external stakeholder engagement

You’ll Likely Bring

* Experience delivering transformation, adoption, or change programmes

* Strong stakeholder skills, with the ability to build credibility quickly

* Experience working directly with organisations or clients

* A consultative approach — able to diagnose challenges and shape solutions

* The ability to operate both strategically and through delivery

Helpful (but not essential)

* Experience across multiple sectors or organisations

* Exposure to innovation, economic development, or publicly funded programmes

* Experience designing or evolving programme delivery models

Why This Role?

* High-profile, well-funded programme with national impact

* Opportunity to shape how support is delivered across sectors

* Genuinely outward-facing role with influence and visibility

* Ability to drive real, measurable outcomes for organisations

In Summary

This role suits someone who can:

* Build credibility quickly with senior stakeholders

* Understand real-world business challenges

* Translate insight into practical, impactful programmes
