- Create and maintain clear project plans that outline the delivery of new technologies, planned features, enhancements, and product developments.
- Optimise the allocation of resources, including financial, human, and technological assets, to ensure efficient and effective use across technical workstreams and initiatives.
- Identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies to ensure the Force’s plans are resilient and adaptable to changing circumstances.
- Report delivery progress to Force Transformation Project Managers, ensuring overall project timelines can be articulated, including key deliverables and milestones.
What you’ll bring
- Excellent analytical and project management skills, with proven experience in technical projects, preferably within a policing or public sector environment.
- Knowledge of digital transformation and continual delivery techniques, along with proven experience in delivering highly complex technical projects.
- Demonstrable experience of influencing and stakeholder management skills, with a good understanding of technical planning and dependency identification.
- Ability to see the strategic landscape and exploit opportunities for optimal resource allocation against delivery.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with project management experience of both fixed and dynamic teams.
- Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to adapt materials on a given topic to resonate with multiple stakeholders.
