    transformative landscape-scale restoration across 14 sites for the benefit of species
    abundance, people, and communities.

    Our work will contribute to halting the decline in species abundance by increasing the extent,

    Working in coalition with local partners, landowners and communities we will implement

    progress is communicated to stakeholders and that programme-level risks are effectively
    managed.

    The postholder will need to work effectively with people, as this role will directly lead a
    cross-organisational team. You will line manage a Project Manager and Conservation Scientist,

    3. Ensuring deliverables are on track, to time, to quality and within budget across the
      projects.
    4. Tracking programme-level risks and issues and mitigating as appropriate.
    5. Chairing monthly meetings with those working on the programme, ensuring consistency of
      approach and compliance with NLHF guidelines, and ensuring teams have the tools to fulfil their
      role.
    6. Coordinating functional input from internal teams as required, ensuring sufficient resource
      is available at the right time.
    7. Providing a central programme-level liaison role with NLHF.
    8. Ensuring funding claims are submitted on time and with appropriate supporting evidence.
    9. Producing regular progress highlight reports for stakeholders, escalating issues as needed.

    Essential criteria:

    • Proven project/programme management skills to plan and manage complex programmes and
      projects, manage risks, costs, time and project teams.
    • Proven ability to influence others, communicate effectively, build collaborative internal
