Programme Manager

Commutable from : Bath, Swindon, Cardiff, Gloucester, Bridgend, Bristol, Newport

Business : Manufacturing & Engineering

Salary & Package : £70,000-£80,000p.a. + benefits

Role overview : You'll lead multiple programmes end-to-end; from concept to volume production – while improving the processes for project planning, launch and the production of new products. You'll own the project process (stage-gate reviews, risk, cadence), the project team, the cross-functional teams, and the outcomes (on-time, to specification and within budget). It's a role for someone who can deliver today and build a better system for tomorrow.

The mandate (first 12 months or so)

• Stand up a standard programme structure across the product portfolio – clear plans, owners, and cross-functional routines.
• Institutionalise status, risk & outlook reviews that are concise, data-driven, and actually used.
• Support functional leaders (Design, Engineering, Manufacturing & Production, Marketing, Product Performance) with top-level plans that raise delivery quality across the board.
• Lead multiple programmes – from early-stage NPD activities through to facelifts of existing products.
• Hit the delivery window for dedicated launch dates – ensuring milestone achievement and programme financials are on plan.
• Drive cross-functional adoption of the business project management tool to ensure all stakeholders are engaged and following the flow.
