Position:

Programme Management

The Alan Turing Institute has a number of Programmes of scientific research in key areas of AI and data science, each led by a Programme Director.

There are also a small number of significant programmes of activity which sit across several research Programmes.

This role sits within the Institute's Programme Management directorate, which is responsible for the management and delivery of these programmes in support of the senior academic Programme Directors and Principal Investigators.

The team oversees millions of pounds of data science and AI research, training and knowledge exchange programme initiatives in these programmes, ensuring they are managed to business requirements, specification, time and budget.

There are a number of Programme Managers, Research Project Managers, and Coordinators within the team, usually focused on one research Programme or programme of activity, but who may provide programme and project management capabilities and support to other projects or activities from time to time as required.

Members of the team are not permanently attached to programmes and may be moved to other research programmes in-line with business needs, and may have the opportunity to support other programmes, both ad-hoc or more formally.
