DESCRIPTION & REQUIREMENTS
On behalf of the MOD, we are looking for a Project Manager (Inside IR35) for a 6 month contract which is a hybrid role so does require up to 3 days a week in the Bristol Office
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is a central government department with a mission to protect our country and provide the ultimate guarantee of its security and independence, as well as helping to protect its values and interests abroad.
The Project Manager will be responsible for managing the day-to-day delivery of the Risk and Resilience project work, ensuring that scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, assumptions, actions, decisions and reporting are actively controlled.
The role will work with the Senior Business Owner, Business Lead, academic partner, policy SMEs and wider Defence stakeholders to coordinate delivery of the project’s outputs and support adoption into future supply chain resilience activity. The role requires strong project management discipline, with practical experience of business change projects or programmes where recommendations must be translated into ownership, implementation planning and operational adoption.
As a Project Manager, your main responsibilities will be:
- Develop, maintain and control the integrated project plan for the Supply Chain Resilience Action Plan, covering mobilisation, resilience definition, academic metrics development, scenario testing, policy gap analysis, adoption planning, roadmap development, handover and closeout.
- Own and maintain core project controls, including RAID logs, action trackers, decision logs, dependency maps, milestone plans, delivery schedules and governance reporting.
- Coordinate delivery of the agreed project outputs, including the resilience definition, metrics and measurement method, scenario findings, policy and clause gap analysis, adoption and reporting plan, behavioural change narrative, implementation roadmap and handover pack.
- Work with the Business Lead and academic partner to ensure the metrics development approach is clearly scoped, scheduled, quality assured and aligned to scenario testing requirements.
- Coordinate input from policy SMEs and commercial stakeholders to identify policy gaps, adoption levers, implementation considerations and any unintended incentives or delivery burdens.
- Plan and support scenario testing activity, ensuring assumptions, data needs, findings, limitations and recommendations are captured clearly for review and decision-making.
- Support business change planning by identifying stakeholder impacts, cultural and behavioural change requirements, adoption risks, ownership requirements and transition actions.
