We are excited to be recruiting a Programme Delivery Manager to support the Programme Management Team for The Scholars Programme to deliver the goals set out in Join the Club, our ambitious strategy for 2021-2026. This role will be central in the delivery of the necessary efficiencies and enhancements of the Scholars Programme to support our strategy goal of working with 100,000 pupils.

This role will lead on the central Delivery Cycle for The Scholars Programme team, creating correspondence and guidance for schools and PhD Tutors, and collaborating with other teams to ensure communication is streamlined and consistent. This is a key role within the Programme Management team, ensuring high quality pupil impact by tracking data returns, providing team briefings and ongoing training and support. They will support with the development, testing and embedding of new processes and projects, including IT developments, and will be the first point of contact in the Programmes team for troubleshooting issues. This role will manage a small team of Programme Coordinators who will support Programme Officers and Programme Managers to meet programme delivery targets.

The role requires an accomplished professional, with proven experience of high-quality programme delivery.  They will champion the charity’s values and embody them in interactions with colleagues and partners, establishing themselves as someone who can be relied upon, supporting the whole team and proactively finding ways to improve what we do.

While this role can be based at any of our offices throughout the UK, some travel will be required (mainly to London) for events and to attend in-person meetings.
