Summary
The Connectivity Tool programme delivers a digital platform that enables public bodies and built-environment professionals to analyse connectivity, transport access and spatial data to support policy development and investment decisions.
As a Project Manager (HEO), you will work within a multidisciplinary digital delivery team to support the Senior Project Delivery Manager, Product Manager and Service Owner. You will be responsible for maintaining project controls, coordinating delivery activity, supporting Agile ways of working and ensuring governance processes are consistently followed.

You will also play an important role in supporting the Product Owner by managing backlog information, preparing sprint artefacts, organising user stories and ensuring high-quality product documentation is maintained.
Your responsibilities will include, but aren’t limited to:
Maintain project plans, schedules and delivery trackers for Connectivity Tools workstreams.
Maintain RAID logs (Risks, Assumptions, Issues and Dependencies) and track mitigation actions, escalating issues where appropriate.
Coordinate governance activities, including preparing papers, producing decision records and arranging meetings.
