Description

Prospectus is delighted to be partnering with The Hg Foundation as they seek to appoint a dynamic Programme Manager, working to remove barriers to education and skills in the technology sector.

This role is offered on hybrid basis split between home workingand 1-2 days in the central London office.

At all levels, and across the globe, there are significant skill shortages in the technology sector.

At the same time, some groups (especially women and girls, those from low-income backgrounds and from certain ethnic groups) are far less likely to gaingood tech-relevant qualifications and access jobs in the sector.

The Hg Foundation's vision is that the tech workforce of the future harnesses the talents of all, regardless of background.

To achieve this, they help underrepresented groups to access high qualityjobs in tech by supporting education and employment programmes across the UK, Europe and US.

This is an exciting new role in a young, growing and ambitious Foundation and the incoming Programme Manager will be joining at a critical time; it has established processes and strategies in place, but remains very much in 'start up' mode as it continuesto expand.

There is a major opportunity to influence and shape this role and with it, the future of the Foundation.

You will work closely with the CEO of the Foundation and have high level contact with all the major stakeholders.

The Programme Manager willbe a key liaison point with the Foundation's charity partners across the UK, Europe and North America and other s, such as research agencies, academics and sector leaders.

You will ensure existing programmes are well maintained alongside growing networks,engaging and researching new potential partners, capturing knowledge and insight and working to embed robust and effective impact and evaluation methodologies.

The Programme Manager will also be an influential voice in defining the Foundation's future prioritiesand ways of working.

You will lead on a diverse set of projects and tasks and bring an entrepreneurial and proactive approach to the role.
