Full job description

Future Suffolk / Suffolk County Council
Address: Endeavour House, Ipswich, Suffolk IP1 2BX, Hybrid working
Salary: £48,163 - 58,850 per annum
Hours: 37 hours per week, flexible working options available
Contract: Fixed Term or Secondment until 31 March 2028

Suffolk's councils are working together on one of the most ambitious change programmes the county has ever seen. Through Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), we're creating three new unitary councils and building the foundations for the future of local services across Suffolk.

We're looking for talented people to join our programme team and play a key role in making that happen.

As one of the Project Manager’s, you'll play a key role in maintaining visibility across the programme, ensuring workstreams remain connected, informed and focused on delivery. Working across organisational boundaries, you'll help translate programme priorities into coordinated action across Suffolk's councils.

Your role and responsibilities

You'll work across several LGR workstreams, acting as the link between workstream leads and the Programme Management Office (PMO). You'll help ensure activity remains coordinated, connected and focused on delivery, while providing visibility of progress, risks, milestones and dependencies across a fast-paced and complex programme.

You will:

Coordinate and monitor multiple LGR workstreams simultaneously.
Work with workstream leads and theme sponsors to maintain clear plans, milestones, risks and dependencies.
Ensure workstreams understand how their activity contributes to the wider programme roadmap.
Identify and escalate risks, issues and barriers early, acting as the eyes and ears of the PMO.
Maintain accurate project documentation, reporting and programme information.
Support workstream leads to meet reporting requirements and programme deadlines.
Build strong relationships across organisational boundaries and support delivery at pace.
Help ensure workstreams remain connected, informed and focused on programme priorities.

What you will need

We're looking for an experienced project manager who can work confidently across organisational boundaries, maintain oversight of complex activity and bring people together around shared objectives.

We hope you’ll bring:

Strong project management experience, ideally within organisational change, transformation or public sector programmes.
Experience managing multiple projects or workstreams simultaneously, with strong organisational and prioritisation skills and the ability to maintain visibility across competing priorities.
A strong understanding of governance, risk management, dependencies, milestone planning and reporting.
Experience working with senior stakeholders and the confidence to challenge constructively where required.
A good understanding of local government and the complexities of working across organisational boundaries.
Strong communication, influencing and relationship-building skills.
Resilience, initiative and a proactive, solutions-focused approach, with the ability to work at pace in an evolving environment.
A commitment to delivering positive outcomes for Suffolk's residents and communities, recognising how individual workstreams contribute to the wider success of the programme.

You can view a full list of requirements in the Job and Person Profile (JPP), which you can find in the ‘How to apply’ section towards the bottom of this advert.

If you believe you can succeed in this role, apply. Even if you don't meet all requirements, still apply. We would appreciate the opportunity to consider your application.

The team

Although hosted by Suffolk County Council, this is a genuinely system-wide role working across the full LGR system, bringing together multiple councils, disciplines and partners behind a single shared objective. The team act on behalf of all Suffolk councils and are accountable to the Future Suffolk Implementation Board.

You’ll join a newly established programme team, united by a shared commitment to delivering change that protects services for residents and creates strong, sustainable new councils.

For more information on LGR in Suffolk, please visit the Three Councils for Suffolk and the Future Suffolk websites.

Applications from Suffolk's five councils

Colleagues currently working for one of Suffolk's five councils are encouraged to apply. Where possible, appointments will be made on a secondment basis, allowing you to retain your substantive role.

Empowering Everyone

We’re big believers in potential, possibility and the power of different ideas. We’re always searching for ways to encourage, respect and enable everyone to be the best they can be. We want to represent the diverse communities we serve. We welcome applications from all individuals, especially those from groups that are currently underrepresented in the organisation, as shown in our Workforce Equality Report.

Please contact Lysanne Eddy, Programme Director for LGR, for a casual conversation. You can reach them by emailing [email protected]
