For Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP), delivering projects is not just about bringing improvements. It’s about keeping millions of people safe across the UK. Our Portfolio Management Office supports a portfolio of projects and programmes that will help better protect our country. The Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) Change Portfolio Office has a number of exciting opportunities to help deliver our portfolio of change across the CTP network.
Joining our rapidly growing Change Portfolio team, we’re looking for a Portfolio RAID Manager to help manage a complex and diverse portfolio of projects and programmes. It’s your chance to play your part in a challenge that’s as important as it gets: protecting the UK and its communities.
We are looking for proactive and enthusiastic team members who have some experience in RAID management in a project or portfolio environment. You will join the team and be responsible for the day-to-day management and implementation of the approach, product sets and standards for this specialist area across the national and London Counter Terrorism & Protective Security (CT & PS) portfolios of projects and programmes.
You will have a varied role, where no two days are the same. You will have responsibilities for both Portfolio Management and Centre of Excellence for RAID. You will join the team with a broad understanding of Project Portfolio Management (PPM), and with support from the team will become a specialist in your field. You will work as part of a busy team, whilst having autonomy and ownership for the development and implementation of best-practice PPM controls.
To be successful in this role you will:
- be comfortable analysing information and providing recommendations in a format that’s accessible to a wide range of audiences.
- have an eye for detail.
- be exceptionally organised and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
- work well both as part of a team, or on your own.
- be able to meet deadlines and prioritise your workload effectively.
- be confident communicating with people at all levels.
- be able to facilitate groups of people to reach an outcome.
The ideal candidate would excel at:
- Delivering project, programme or portfolio, with knowledge of reporting and RAID management.
- Developing and establishing controls, tools and templates for RAID management.
- Providing coaching and guidance to promote adherence to RAID standards.
- Having an understanding of, and some experience in, applying programme and project methodologies (for example, Prince2, MSP, Agile, Management of Risk etc.).
You might have some experience:
- Working for a (local) government, security agency or policing environment.
- Being a line manager to an individual or team or being a coach or mentor.
The role will report to the Portfolio Office Reporting and RAID Lead and will work alongside counterparts already in post.
The Portfolio Office is a supportive team environment, and one in which we endeavour to ensure everyone can fulfil their potential. Together, we have created a team charter. Core to delivering our services, we focus on adding value, being consciously inclusive, fulfilling our role effectively as a ‘critical friend’, being open to new ideas and feedback, being creative, innovative and useful, having a ‘one team approach’, and being supportive and streamlined in our engagement with other teams. If you’ve got the passion to drive change forward, we’ll provide you with the platform, support and opportunities to do it.
