Joining our rapidly growing Change Portfolio team, we’re looking for a Portfolio Benefits Lead 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 a proactive and enthusiastic team lead who has demonstrable experience in managing benefits in a project or portfolio environment. You will be responsible for the day-to-day management and implementation of the approach, product sets and standards for benefits realisation across the national and London Counter Terrorism & Protective Security (CT & PS) portfolios of projects and programmes.

You will lead a busy team, whilst having autonomy and ownership for the development and implementation of best-practice PPM controls.
The Portfolio Office is a supportive team environment, and one in which we endeavour to ensure each individual can fulfil their potential.
CTP aims to create an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere and culture and an environment where all our people feel a strong sense of belonging and are well supported to reach their full potential. We feel that any group or individual will be respected, supported and valued to fully participate and contribute to our mission of “Working to keep people safe from Terrorism”. You will have the opportunity to contribute to and participate in our numerous WIDE (Wellbeing, Inclusion, Diversity, and Equality) activities and projects. With our commitment to creating an inclusive working environment, we welcome and encourage applications from candidates who are seeking flexible working arrangements, and including part time working or job share.
