• Are you an experienced Programme Manager who thrives on delivering complex transformation programmes?
• Do you enjoy bringing structure to ambiguity while engaging and influencing stakeholders at every level?
• Could you lead a major programme that will transform how we work with and support our volunteers?

Programme Manager

Up to £65,000 plus bonus

2 Year Fixed Term Contract / Full Time

Stevenage with Hybrid Working

At the IET, making our world a better place starts by creating a better place for our people. At the IET you’ll have more than just a job. Our work is exciting and challenging, connecting the people who solve the problems that matter. It means working with us has real meaning and impact, and you’ll grow – professionally and personally – in ways you never thought possible. We’re also making significant investments in our people, including providing a modern, vibrant workplace and embracing hybrid working.

What you’ll be doing

As our Programme Manager, you’ll lead the delivery of a major transformation programme focused on how the IET works with and supports volunteers across the organisation. You’ll bring together a number of interconnected projects, helping to shape a clear programme roadmap and ensuring activity across different workstreams is aligned, well-planned and moving forward. Working closely with project leads and senior stakeholders, you’ll create the structure, governance and visibility needed to keep the programme on track.

This is a role where you’ll need to be comfortable working with complexity and some ambiguity. Not everything will be fully defined from the start, so you’ll play a key role in connecting the dots between different initiatives, helping teams prioritise effectively, and making sure progress is clear and measurable.

A big part of the role will involve working with people across the IET, including colleagues, senior leaders and volunteers. You’ll build strong relationships, support teams to navigate change and help bring people along on the journey as new ways of working are introduced.

You’ll also provide coaching and guidance to project leads, helping them deliver their workstreams effectively while ensuring risks, interdependencies and issues are identified early and managed proactively. Along the way, you’ll report on progress to senior leaders and governance groups, providing clear insights and recommendations that support confident decision-making.

What we hope you can bring to the role

We’re looking for an experienced Programme Manager with a strong track record of delivering complex programmes that involve multiple projects, stakeholders, and moving parts. You’ll be confident bringing structure and clarity to large initiatives, while remaining comfortable working in environments where priorities evolve and not everything is defined from the outset.

Strong stakeholder management will be essential. You’ll have experience working with people at different levels of an organisation, building trust, influencing decisions and supporting teams to work together effectively. You’ll also understand that transformation is ultimately about people. Experience supporting organisational or cultural change will be valuable, particularly where you’ve helped colleagues adopt new ways of working or navigate periods of transition.

Most importantly, you’ll bring a collaborative and pragmatic approach – someone who can balance strong programme discipline with the ability to coach, guide and support others to succeed.

We’d love to get to know you

Is imposter syndrome creeping in? Don’t let it stop you; if you meet most (not all!) of the criteria, please apply. We’d much rather hear from you and review your application than miss out altogether.

Please download the full Job Description for a little more information about the role; but also, keep in mind that we’re open to discussing flexible ways of working, including reduced hours and working in an agile way, supported by a hybrid working framework that allows you to find the best place to do your best work.

A little more about the role

• Lead the delivery of the Volunteering Transformation Programme.
• Coordinate activity across multiple projects and workstreams.
• Develop and maintain the programme roadmap, plans and governance structures.
• Manage programme risks, issues, dependencies and reporting.
• Build strong relationships with colleagues, leaders and volunteer stakeholders.
• Support project leads through coaching and guidance.
• Provide clear updates and insights to programme sponsors and governance groups.
• Help embed new ways of working and support the cultural change needed for long-term success.

A little more about what we’re looking for

• Proven experience delivering complex programmes or large transformation initiatives.
• Strong programme planning, governance and delivery skills.
• Confidence managing stakeholders at all levels, including senior leaders.
• Experience working across multiple projects with interdependencies.
• Ability to work effectively in environments where priorities evolve and ambiguity exists.
• Experience supporting organisational or cultural change.
• Strong communication, influencing and relationship-building skills.
• Experience working with volunteer-led, membership or not-for-profit organisations would be beneficial.

Changed this now. I was confusing this with PDE role as I am working on that in parallel. Hope this makes sense now.

data solutions rather than architectures?

Should add Python here as a key tech we use

Have mentioned Python in ‘Minimum Criteria’ section below, but will add here too

this could be added to Essential Criteria ?

stakeholder and project management ?

Have updated #1 in essential criteria below. But I have now used the previous version to create requisition in OBS. Will see if it can be changed.

What is the difference between “minimum” and “essential” criteria. Both imply that they are mandatory and so could be one list?

This is a bit confusing. I used to have just one, but this is the standard format of JD that the Bank wants us to follow. Here is the difference:

Min Criteria:

This must list the minimum technical skills/experience/qualifications required to do the job and should be measurable/scoreable. The screening questions you select must link to these, in order to allow candidates to best demonstrate their suitability for the role.

Essential:

This lists other important technical skills/experience/qualifications, and also more behavioural competencies. These are ones that are better assessed at interview rather than on screening questions on the application form

Ok, I think we could go back and ask HR about this as it does seem confusing and to me doesn’t give a good impression of the Bank to applicants at it looks like 2 lists for the same thing.

I had checked this earlier, but seems they want us to follow this format. When I advertised last time, I just mentioned Minimum Criteria, but they said it has to be split into Minimum and Essential.

Don’t think we need to mention Atlas or Cloudera Manager as we hardly ever use those. Airflow could be useful so would leave that in.

Business Development Manager Aluminium Fabrications East Midlands 45,000 - 55,000 basic Full-time Permanent East Midlands

A specialist aluminium fabrications manufacturer supplying the commercial construction sector across the UK is looking to appoint an experienced Business Development Manager. This is a newly created role built around growth. The business has invested heavily in production capacity and is now ready to go after new project opportunities in a structured, focused way for the first time.

Customers include main contractors, subcontractors and specialist installers working on commercial projects of varying scale and complexity. There is a solid existing customer base to build from, but winning new projects and new accounts is the primary objective of this role.

The Role

The Business Development Manager will be the driving force behind new project acquisition. That means getting in front of the right people, understanding project pipelines early, positioning the business competitively and converting opportunities into orders. Tools including Barbour ABI, construction exhibitions, networking and targeted industry research will all be central to how new opportunities are identified and pursued.

Alongside the new business activity, the Business Development Manager will take commercial responsibility for live contracts from enquiry through to order fulfilment. This includes managing the estimating and quotation process, providing specification and value engineering support and maintaining oversight of projects once orders are placed.

At any one time the Business Development Manager will be managing four to six live commercial contracts alongside a pipeline of active quotations at varying stages. Some quotations are straightforward; others are technically complex and can take up to a week to produce properly. The role carries real pressure and candidates should be comfortable working in that kind of environment. Support will be provided by the line manager around prioritisation and client expectation management, but the individual needs to bring their own resilience, structure and self-discipline.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identifying and targeting new project opportunities within the commercial construction sector
• Building a pipeline of new business through Barbour ABI, industry research, networking and construction exhibitions
• Positioning the business early in the project cycle to maximise the chance of winning work
• Converting new and existing enquiries into orders through prompt, professional follow-up
• Managing four to six live commercial contracts simultaneously, keeping all parties updated
• Handling multiple concurrent quotations of varying complexity and timescale
• Building and developing strong relationships with contractors, subcontractors and specifiers
• Providing technical guidance and specification support on aluminium fabrication systems
• Supporting value engineering discussions to meet customer budget and performance requirements
• Liaising with internal teams to ensure accurate processing, smooth handover and on-time delivery
• Recording and feeding back insight on wins and losses to support continuous improvement

The Ideal Candidate

• A proven track record of winning new business in construction or building products, ideally within aluminium fabrications, glazing, fa ades, curtain walling or a closely related sector
• Hunter mentality with the commercial intelligence to identify opportunities early and see them through to order
• Technically credible and confident discussing specifications with contractors and specifiers
• Demonstrable experience managing multiple live projects and quotations concurrently
• Strong commercial awareness with an organised, detail-focused approach
• Resilient and calm under pressure with the ability to reprioritise quickly
• Comfortable working with CRM-style systems, email and phone to manage pipeline and communications

Package

• 45,000 - 55,000 basic salary depending on experience
• Full-time, permanent position
• East Midlands based
