Job Description
Are you an experienced PMO professional, Programme Coordinator or Project Controller who thrives in fast-paced transformation environments?
Smiths Detection is looking for a proactive and highly organised VCP Programme Controller to support one of the most strategically important transformation programmes across the business.
About the Role
Working within the Portfolio Programme Management Office (PPMO), you'll play a pivotal role in coordinating, tracking and reporting progress across the Value Creation Programme (VCP), a portfolio of initiatives spanning Digital Transformation, Configuration Management, Operating Model improvements and Platforming activities.
This role sits at the heart of the programme, ensuring leaders have clear visibility of milestones, risks, actions, dependencies and benefits, while helping to maintain the governance and reporting discipline needed to deliver successful business transformation.
Why This Role?
This is not a traditional administrative support position.
We're looking for someone who can confidently work across multiple stakeholders, challenge constructively, identify gaps, keep activities moving forward and ensure critical programme information is visible, accurate and actionable.
You'll work closely with Programme Leads, Portfolio Directors and senior leaders across the organisation, becoming a trusted partner in the successful delivery of key strategic initiatives.
For an ambitious PMO or Project Controls professional, this is an opportunity to gain exposure to enterprise-level transformation programmes and build experience across a broad portfolio of business change activity.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll be responsible for supporting programme leaders by maintaining effective programme controls and governance, including:
- Tracking programme milestones, actions, risks, issues and dependencies
- Maintaining programme plans, schedules and reporting packs
- Producing dashboards, status reports and executive updates
- Coordinating governance reviews, workshops and steering meetings
- Managing action logs and ensuring follow-up with stakeholders
- Supporting benefit tracking, financial reporting and performance monitoring
- Maintaining SharePoint repositories and programme documentation
- Supporting senior stakeholders with accurate programme information and reporting
- Identifying reporting gaps, data quality issues and emerging delivery risks
- Helping establish and improve programme controls, governance and reporting standards
