Full job description

Assistant Director Governance, Operations & Standards - Grade SM6 - £73,896 - £82840 - Pending job evaluation

Interviews will be held on Wednesday 22nd July 2026

As Greater Manchester takes on greater responsibility through devolution, the way we run, govern and support delivery across the Education, Work and Skills directorate matters more than ever. We need clear decisions, strong standards, confident teams and the discipline to keep moving at pace.

This is a role for someone who can help a complex organisation work better. You will bring clarity, discipline and practical leadership to how we plan, make decisions, manage risk and support teams reducing unnecessary complexity and helping people focus on the work that matters most.

The opportunity

You will shape how the directorate gets things done: how we govern, plan, manage risk, maintain standards and support teams during a period of significant reform. You will also lead and develop a high-performing team, creating the clarity, confidence and culture needed to deliver well. This is not about process for its own sake. It is about making sure decisions are clear, governance helps delivery, and teams have the tools, expectations and support they need to do their best work.

What you’ll lead

Shape how the directorate plans, makes decisions and gets things done.
Create clear, proportionate governance that supports delivery rather than slowing it down.
Strengthen operational grip, consistency and standards across teams and programmes.
Give senior leaders confidence that risks are understood, decisions are sound and delivery is on track.
Lead improvements to ways of working so teams can operate with more clarity, confidence and pace.
Lead, support and develop a high-performing team with clear priorities, strong standards and a focus on continuous improvement.
Work closely with corporate services and delivery leads to align governance, people, finance and performance.

What you’ll bring

Significant experience of leading governance, operations or organisational improvement in a complex setting.
A strong track record of leading change and improving how teams or organisations work.
The ability to balance rigour with pragmatism -knowing where control is needed and where flexibility matters.
Strong influencing skills, sound judgement and credibility with senior leaders and partners.
Experience of working in politically-led, high-accountability environments where pace, clarity and confidence matter.
