Work with us at Riverford, and join a thriving employee-owned business

Be part of a friendly, engaging and committed team.
Lots of opportunities to learn, grow, and progress in your career.
We'll give you an abundance of free organic fruit and veg, an annual taxfree coowner bonus, and a bounty of benefits including lowcost, homecooked organic breakfasts and lunches.

More than just a veg box.
Riverford are mad about organic veg. It's at the core of everything we do.

We love to grow it, pack it into boxes, and deliver it to around 70,000 homes across the UK every week.

This takes loads of brilliant people - and working here makes you a 'co-owner', since Riverford is employee owned. Success means much more than just profits; we want this to be a place people enjoy coming to work, and a business our co-owners feel proud of

In 2021, we were delighted to be awarded two-star Best Companies accreditation, recognising Riverford as an 'outstanding' place to work.

What you'll be doing

Working in our newly formed Business Change team, you'll be responsible for partnering and coaching the business to ensure that we effectively deliver our project portfolio.

Our roadmap is an exciting one, with a mix of projects and programmes ahead - from supporting our operations to get fighting fit, to our response to the climate and ecological crises, to inspiring more households to enjoy veg-packed diets.

We want change and new initiatives to be welcomed in the business.

To achieve this, we need to build the capabilities across the business to scope and manage projects efficiently and effectively; our commercial success depends on it.

There's an element of PMO within this role - you will be key in supporting the development of project management capabilities in the business.

So, in addition to having a wealth of experience in project management and delivery, you will have been coaching and mentoring others for some time, and be excited about developing other people's capabilities in this area.

This isn't a functional project management role, but one where you will really need to engage managers and stakeholders across a wide variety of areas.

You will do this by:

Building our project and change management capabilities across the business, to include support, coaching, and mentoring of managers to deliver their own business improvement projects.
Creating a portfolio of effective training and development for managers. Working with the Business Change Director, Stakeholders, and the L&D Team to ensure it supports culturally.
Frameworks, templates, and processes are an important part of delivering, but what's really important is the creation of a really engaging, positive and handson approach to skilling up our managers.
Champion great stakeholder engagement across the business. Work with managers to ensure their key stakeholders are bought in and we really win hearts and minds across the projects we are delivering.
Build effective toolkits, templates, and project/change frameworks not only for effective governance but for the engagement, management, and delivery of change. Maintaining this central knowledge base.

Requirements:

Must have a strong background of coaching, training and mentoring others to deliver successful projects and change.
Second to none facilitation skills, with the ability to coach others to be confident at running their own sessions.
Variety of project and change management experience having delivered operational and people projects for a number of years is a must.
You are a people person through and through. Your personality is an engaging one; you build and sustain relationships
Approachable and supportive, with a real desire to help people. People want you involved.
An encouraging leadership style with an easy way about you which brings people on the journey.

33 days holiday pro rata (including bank holidays), generous company pension scheme, annual profit share (10% of all our profits are split equally between all co-owners), heavily discounted organic breakfasts and lunches, free organic fruit and veg and free parking.
