Senior Requirements Manager

As the Senior Requirements Manager, you’ll support the Head of Programme Development to work closely with the Client function to implement the R&R Requirements Management Strategy across the Delivery Authority. You’ll be responsible for ensuring the Delivery Authority’s work is controlled, aligned and delivered in a consistent, transparent, and disciplined manner to achieve the objectives of the Programme and needs of the Client.

Day-to-day, you’ll provide the line of sight between the programme and the Client Requirements. You’ll also be responsible for the management system and processes to enable the implementation and progressive delivery of requirements, acting as the primary point of contact for project teams and overseeing significant changes to requirements—supporting robust, evidence-based decision-making that shapes the programme’s future.

To succeed, you will bring proven requirements management experience from major capital programmes (such as HS2 or Crossrail), alongside expertise in developing and assuring programme-wide requirements management capability. You will be comfortable working with project controls, managing large-scale change, and navigating the interface between client and delivery teams. Operating with confidence and authority, you will balance autonomy with collaboration, demonstrating strong organisational skills and the credibility to challenge senior stakeholders where needed.

Above all, you will provide stability, adaptability, and leadership in a complex, fast-evolving environment, helping teams navigate change and deliver with confidence. This role is a maternity cover role and will be offered on a 12-month fixed term contract or secondment.

Successful candidates will be required to complete security vetting to a minimum Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) level obtained through the Parliamentary Security Department (PSD).

The Palace of Westminster, one of the best recognised buildings in the world, needs essential restoration to preserve it for future generations. The Palace has a rich and remarkable history. Westminster Hall is over 900 years old and has been the scene of great moments in our country’s political life. Covering 34 acres, and the size of more than 1,000 houses, there are 1,100 rooms, 100 staircases, three miles of passageways, four floors and 65 different levels.

As well as being one of the UK’s biggest buildings, it is one of the nation’s busiest workplaces, with thousands of people on site each day, from catering and security staff to MPs and Peers, to experts keeping this iconic building running. The Restoration and Renewal Programme is carrying out the tens of thousands of hours of complex building surveys and investigations needed to inform future decisions on the restoration work needed.

We have already engaged teams of architects, engineers, project managers and contractors who will shape the future direction of the work. Restoring Parliament is already boosting UK industries, and the restoration will use UK materials wherever possible and create jobs and apprenticeships across the country, from engineering and high-tech design to traditional crafts such as carpentry and stonemasonry.
