Programme Director
Be at the forefront of transforming British Army training.
About us:
At OMNIA® Training, we’ve brought together some of the UK’s most innovative defence training organisations under one powerful mission: to transform the British Army’s training system and create the best-trained Army in the world.
OMNIA are redefining the British Army’s collective training. To do that, we are looking for the best and brightest minds from across the UK. We are backed by British innovation and powered by world-class experts, like you. OMNIA is at the heart of the UK’s bold Land Industrial Strategy.
The role:
This is more than a job — it’s a mission. You will be part of a high-impact, collaborative environment, where we expect everyone to live the values and standards of the British Army. Every person in our team plays a critical role in delivering OMNIA’s vision; designing, delivering, and transforming collective training so the British Army is ready to fight and win.
You’ll work in a matrix organisation and report operationally through OMNIA Training and functionally through the Raytheon UK Enterprise Performance Group (EPG). Ultimately, you’ll work for the British Army, championing innovation, and helping shape the future of military training.
As Programme Director for Raytheon UK in a Prime Contractor role, you will lead a Raytheon Programme Management team and coordinate across Tier 1 and Tier 2 partners, and work alongside the customer.
The programme operates in the Military Land Training domain. This role does not need to be a domain expert; there is an abundance of domain expertise in the programme, what this role must bring is expertise in programme management processes and tools, and experience in applying these across large programmes.
This role reports to the Managing Director of Omnia Training based in Warminster. The role holder will work collaboratively with industry partners, suppliers and the customer to successfully mobilise, deliver and continuously improve the Army Collective Training Service.
The main duties of the role are to:
- Lead, manage and successfully deliver all contractual requirements within agreed budgets, schedules and performance standards.
- Establish and maintain programme governance, risk management, reporting and control frameworks to ensure successful programme execution.
- Promote Programme Management Excellence (PMX) best practice and lead by example to instil a culture of flawless programme execution, accountability and continuous improvement.
- Conduct a regular tempo of downwards and upwards governance engagements to assure delivery and programme success.
- Develop, coach and mentor programme team members.
- Develop collaborative relationships with senior stakeholders within the Customer, strategic Partners, an ecosystem of Suppliers and across Raytheon.
- Be part of the Omnia Training senior leadership team.
- Act as a Subject Matter Expert for Programme Execution.
- Actively contribute to the development of Knowledge and Skills across the Raytheon UK PMX function.
