Commercial Programme Manager – Consumer

Overview

We are currently looking for a commercially-savvy Programme Manager to work with our consumer clients. Our work within this domain has led to the creation of numerous world-firsts and paradigm shifting technologies.

As you would be joining at a senior level within the organisation, you will have the opportunity to partner with our commercial team to lead clients towards programmes that develop solutions to solve some of the world’s most complex engineering, technology, and design problems.

What to Expect

The Programme Management sector within Cambridge Consultants is an absolutely essential function to enable delivery of these projects, and our PMs are viewed as integral leaders. Due to the nature of Cambridge Consultants, we work with our clients to not only solve but identify the technology challenges that they are facing now, and into the future. Our PMs play a key role working directly with these clients alongside our Business Developers and Technical Leads from the very beginning to uncover these challenges, and then help guide them to a solution.

You’ll have the support of our Subject Matter Experts to size and shape the project that best delivers the solution; you will help identify an approach that fits both Cambridge Consultants and the client, as well as pulling together and driving the project teams.

Due to the extremely complex, technical, and innovative nature of the projects, and your involvement being not only in the administration, but definition and leadership of such projects we’re looking for candidates that bring a combination of highly developed project management skills, people skills, as well as hands-on technical industry experience to bear.

This role provides the chance to actively contribute to the global technology landscape, successfully delivering some of the most innovative projects in the world, as well as offering significant opportunity for progression within our business. Due to the experience that our Programme Managers gain, as well as the exceptionally high regard that we hold them in, there have been numerous occasions where members of the team have moved on to even loftier height including multiple active members of our Executive team.

Your specific responsibilities will vary according to your expertise but are likely to include: 

  • Developing project proposals that meet our clients’ commercial and technical requirements – this will be for clients anywhere in the world 
  • Management of the delivery of projects that solve complex, multi-disciplinary technical challenges, across multi-office teams 
  • Team building and leadership of multiple project teams  
  • Capturing technical product requirements and resolving system level discussions, requiring a strong technical background 
  • Running meetings with clients, presenting and communicating ideas and concepts to all disciplines 
  • Working with Business Developers in building relationships with clients to understand their programme needs.  

This role will require some international travel but is focussed on managing project teams within the Cambridge office. We have adopted a hybrid working model, with a mix of both home and office working, based on project need.
