About the Opportunity
We are seeking a highly capable, collaborative and adaptable individual to support the successful shaping, set‑up and mobilisation of complex bids, projects and programmes. This role is focused on the front end of programme development, helping define governance, delivery model, procurement strategy, commercial approach, contracting structure and mobilisation arrangements required for successful delivery. The role supports both bid/pursuit activity and live project and programme environments, helping shape the conditions for successful delivery from the outset.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the front‑end shaping of major bids, projects and programmes, helping define the governance, delivery model, procurement strategy and contracting approach required for successful delivery.
- Lead the integration of governance and risk management arrangements to ensure delivery governance and corporate governance are aligned and effective.
- Develop procurement strategies that reflect the chosen programme delivery model, desired outcomes and overall risk profile.
- Shape commercial strategies that align programme outcomes, procurement models, financing considerations and contractual mechanisms.
- Advise on contracting strategy and the use of contractual and commercial mechanisms to promote the right behaviours across client, supply chain and stakeholder environments.
- Help establish the delivery model and programme structure, including organisational interfaces, design of key teams and practical mobilisation arrangements.
- Support programme mobilisation, ensuring that governance, roles, interfaces, controls and commercial arrangements are sufficiently developed to enable transition into delivery.
- Provide strategic support on bids and tender processes, helping teams shape approaches, navigate procurement activity and maintain alignment between commercial, governance and delivery requirements.
- Provide contract management support and advice during delivery, with particular focus on risk mitigation, claims avoidance and pragmatic dispute management.
- Support organisational, programme and project design, helping establish the right teams, interfaces, roles and responsibilities to deliver intended outcomes.
- Work across PMO, commercial, procurement, legal, finance, project controls, design, engineering and delivery teams to support coherent programme set‑up and execution.
- Act as a trusted adviser to senior leadership and clients on matters relating to programme initiation, strategic alignment, governance, contracting and delivery readiness.
What You’ll Need
- Strong understanding of how programme, commercial, procurement and contractual considerations interact in complex project and programme environments.
- Experience shaping or advising on governance, procurement strategy, commercial strategy, delivery models and contracting approaches for major projects or programmes.
- Ability to add greatest value at the front end of bids, projects and programmes, while remaining credible through mobilisation and into delivery.
- Strong strategic thinking combined with practical judgement and the ability to convert broad objectives into deliverable structures, plans and interfaces.
- Ability to work effectively in ambiguous, evolving or complex environments, bringing clarity, structure and momentum.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the credibility to influence senior leadership, clients and specialist functions in complex environments.
- A balanced and disciplined approach to risk management, with the judgement to align strategic ambition with delivery practicality.
- A collaborative, inclusive and delivery‑focused style, with the confidence to work across traditional functional boundaries.
