Project Manager

Venn Group is working with a Local Authority to recruit an Interim Project Manager, as part of a team being formed for the design and delivery of a council-wide Target Operating Model.

The aim of this new Operating Model is to improve service delivery, enable financial savings and unlock new streams of income for the council.

The programme team are currently in discovery, to define the As Is state across services, to inform the development of the model. The team will then undertake detailed service planning and redesign to build the To Be state.

In parallel with this there will be directorate-focused transformation projects, that will deliver efficiencies and tie in with the future operating model.

Responsibilities of the Project Manager:

• Lead on the identification, development and implementation of projects to support the new operating model – these could be either service-specific or cross-cutting in nature
• Support the programme team and services to develop operating models which incorporate opportunities for change and improvement and ultimately deliver improvements and financial efficiencies
• Coordinate engagement from stakeholders across the business and hold responsibility for the development of effective transformation and change proposals
• Develop and maintain documents such as project initiation documents, risk registers, project plans, business cases, stakeholder plans, communication plans
• Ensure that projects produce the anticipated deliverables to the agreed quality, and within agreed timeframes and cost
• Support services and teams to complete implementation planning and launch the projects and initiatives
