Description

**Head of Project Portfolio Management

Enterprise Portfolio Management Office**:

Application closing date: 10/08/23 at 23:59

A bit about the role

The Chief Operating Office is a newly formed directorate in Homes England; it is the 'engine room' and spine of the organisation and provides a range of services that support both operational and change delivery across the organisation.

Having recognised the need for an effective Portfolio Management function to connect the Agency's project delivery to its strategic objectives, the COO is currently in the process of establishing a new Enterprise Portfolio Management Office ("EPMO").

We are now looking to recruit an experienced Head of Portfolio Management, who will play a critical role in supporting Amy Pritchard, the Director of Enterprise Portfolio & Change, in establishing this new function.

They will be responsible for the prioritisation and effective allocation of resources across the portfolio, and will provide expert guidance, support and insight, to help ensure optimal delivery of strategic objectives in line with organisational priorities.

A bit about you:

This role might suit you if you are used to "spinning several plates" and are comfortable operating in an environment of uncertainty and continual change.

You would need to be able to adapt to changing circumstances and adverse situations whilst remaining calm, reassuring others, and maintaining performance.

You'd also need to be able to engage and motivate others, and confidently and proficiently manage stakeholders across the business, influencing decisions and effectively resolving issues where they emerge.

You would also need to be able to create and present a compelling vision and set clear direction, and you'd also be committed to role modelling and living our values and behaviours in everything you do.
