Crynodeb
Are you ready to lead a high-impact Programme Management Office (PMO), shaping the success of portfolios, programmes and projects while championing best practices and driving meaningful transformation?
The Scottish Public Pensions Agency (SPPA) is an Agency of the Scottish Government. Our principal role is to administer the pensions for employees in the National Health Service, Teachers’, Police and Fire-fighters’ pension schemes in Scotland. The Agency administers these public service pension schemes on behalf of Scottish Ministers to over 640,000 members with annual payments of over £3.7 billion.
You will work as part of our Operational Transformation Team; a passionate and highly motivated group of individuals supporting the successful development and implementation of new SPPA products and processes. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring that the change activity we undertake is planned, managed, co-ordinated and communicated to meet the needs of our clients and staff. In doing so, you will manage one member of staff, ensuring all project requirements and governance activities are successfully delivered.
Responsibilities
Ensure appropriate governance arrangements are in place and are operating smoothly, with SROs and relevant Groups receiving meaningful and timely reports which support effective decision making and delivery of measurable benefits and improvements.
Act as a role model for portfolio, programme and project hygiene, providing support to project teams on planning, resource forecasting, change control, milestone management and risk, and issue and dependency identification and management. Ensure standardised documentation is accurate, high quality, relevant and timely.
Develop a suitable library of tools and processes in areas such as RAID, quality and benefits management and work closely with project teams to embed high standards of portfolio, programme and project management across the SPPA. Provide constructive challenge to ensure delivery of milestones and achievement of outcomes.
Lead and coordinate portfolio, programme and project assurance activities (e.g. Gateway and audit) and contribute to the management of related frameworks and standards.
Support the Head of Operational Transformation (jobshare) in preparing timely and meaningful advice to the Chief Transformation Officer and Chief Operating Officer, ensuring emerging issues and risks are escalated as required.
Build cohesion and resilience within the PMO, supporting the personal development of one team member and ensuring they contribute fully. This role also has line management responsibility attached.
