Job Summary
Working within our Help to Buy Transformation & Reprocurement Programme, the Programme Manager will play a key role in delivering a complex, multi-year public sector change programme. You will join a highly skilled, collaborative programme team tasked with reshaping a nationally significant service at a critical point in its lifecycle. Our focus is on strengthening data integrity, reducing operational and financial risk, improving customer experience, and ensuring long-term service portability while protecting public funds.
Job Description
This is a programme that values disciplined delivery and thoughtful decision-making. Our Programme Director champions evidence-based choices and a diversity of perspectives, recognising that the best outcomes come from constructive challenge and collective problem-solving.
This is a rare opportunity to help shape the future operating model of one of the UK's most high-profile home ownership public services. You will work closely with colleagues across a range of specialisms to design and deliver an integrated, coherent and defensible service model that can withstand scrutiny from governance forums, audit and value-for-money assessments while delivering long-term benefits for the Agency and our customers.
Person specification
As a Programme Manager, you will be an experienced delivery professional with a strong track record of leading complex programmes, coordinating multidisciplinary teams and driving outcomes in challenging environments.
You will be comfortable operating across strategic and operational levels, translating vision into practical delivery plans and ensuring that risks, dependencies and issues are actively managed. You'll bring excellent stakeholder management skills, enabling you to build confidence and credibility with senior leaders, delivery partners and subject matter experts alike.
We're looking for someone who can provide clear leadership, maintain momentum across multiple workstreams and foster a collaborative culture where teams are empowered to perform at their best. You will be analytical, organised and pragmatic, with the ability to balance competing priorities while maintaining a focus on delivering value and achieving programme objectives.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Experience of managing large-scale transformation, procurement, service redesign or operational change programmes would be particularly valuable, as would an understanding of governance, assurance and benefits realisation within a complex organisational setting
