Job Description

Programme Manager (Transformation & Adoption)

North West (Hybrid)

Circa £70,000 + benefits

The Opportunity

We’re working with a high-profile, government-backed programme focused on driving productivity and transformation across UK businesses.

This is a unique opportunity to lead sector-focused programmes, helping organisations understand their challenges, adopt new approaches, and deliver measurable improvements.

This is not a traditional PM role — it’s highly visible, external-facing, and sits at the intersection of strategy, engagement, and delivery.

What You’ll Be Doing

  * Engage directly with organisations to understand their challenges, maturity, and growth ambitions

  * Lead workshops and diagnostic conversations to identify opportunities

  * Shape tailored recommendations and programme interventions

  * Oversee delivery through a small, multidisciplinary team

  * Monitor outcomes and demonstrate impact using meaningful data

  * Build strong relationships with businesses, partners, and stakeholders (including government)

  * Support the evolution of programme models across different sectors

  * Contribute to outreach activity, including events and partnerships

About You

We’re looking for someone credible, commercially-aware, and relationship-driven, who can operate confidently in external-facing environments.

You might come from:

  * Business or professional services (e.g. consulting, legal, financial services)

  * OR a programme / transformation background with strong external stakeholder engagement

You’ll Likely Bring

  * Experience delivering transformation, adoption, or change programmes

  * Strong stakeholder skills, with the ability to build credibility quickly

  * Experience working directly with organisations or clients

  * A consultative approach — able to diagnose challenges and shape solutions

  * The ability to operate both strategically and through delivery

Helpful (but not essential)

  * Experience across multiple sectors or organisations

  * Exposure to innovation, economic development, or publicly funded programmes

  * Experience designing or evolving programme delivery models

Why This Role?

  * High-profile, well-funded programme with national impact

  * Opportunity to shape how support is delivered across sectors

  * Genuinely outward-facing role with influence and visibility

  * Ability to drive real, measurable outcomes for organisations

In Summary

This role suits someone who can:

  * Build credibility quickly with senior stakeholders

  * Understand real-world business challenges

  * Translate insight into practical, impactful programmes
