Description
The Programs team ensures our external and internal research projects are delivered predictably, transparently, and in alignment with customer needs and internal priorities. Working closely with research leads, solutions architects, and commercial teams, the group provides the structure and clarity needed to turn scientific work into well-run projects.
As the Senior Manager, Programs Group, you will manage your own portfolio of complex scientific projects while shaping how the wider team delivers. You will use your technical literacy to translate scientific objectives into clear plans, manage the flow of work across multiple research teams, and ensure that progress, risks, and decisions are visible to both customers and internal leadership. Alongside your own delivery responsibilities, you will allocate resources across the Programs team, coach team members, and maintain consistent delivery discipline.
You will also strengthen how projects are executed across the group by defining and maintaining the team’s approach to leadership reporting, ensuring high-quality and consistent updates. In addition, you will sustain strong communication channels across research, commercial, and customer teams, and run retrospectives that drive continuous improvement in both individual projects and team practices.
