Description

Are you an experienced, adaptable project manager who loves dogs?

We’re looking for two Project Delivery Managers, to help us deliver exciting projects across two different business areas, both playing a critical role in the realisation of our long-term strategic objectives.

What does this role do?

As Project Delivery Manager, you’ll:

• drive, facilitate and coordinate the delivery of multiple projects taking place across the division, from building detailed project plans to chasing up actions; you’ll be across all parts of each project,
• monitor progress of existing projects, ensuring interdependencies are managed, actions are moving forward, spend is monitored and everything stays on track,
• build key relationships across the division, collaborating effectively with subject matter experts in each department to enable their decision making,
• provide secretariat support for relevant steering groups, from circulating agendas and papers to recording actions and decisions,
• primarily focus on delivery and implementation, but some new projects will require scoping and planning.

At Dogs Trust, project delivery focuses on managing delivery teams, overseeing project progress, optimising processes, building and maintaining documentation throughout the project lifecycle and ensuring projects remain on track.

We currently have a vacancy covering our International work, which includes collaborating with sister charities in Ireland and Bosnia, and another in our Marketing and Communications division, which includes digital, brand and public affairs projects.

These roles are fixed term contracts until July 2027.

Could this be you?

To be successful in this role, you’ll need significant experience of delivering multiple projects, including developing and monitoring project plans, budget tracking, and risk management. To do this, you’ll need excellent attention to detail, and the ability to build strong relationships with colleagues at all levels. We’re particularly looking for candidates who are adaptable, who can flex their approach reactively to meet the varying needs of different projects. We’re also keen to hear from candidates who pride themselves on taking a pro‑active approach, who feel confident managing lots of moving parts and pulling them together into a cohesive project. A commitment to the aims and objectives of Dogs Trust is essential.
