The programme will be multi-year and cross council touching multiple services provided by the council both internally to services and externally to customers and schools.

  • You will establish the governance arrangements for the delivery of the programme using the council’s change methodology and programme management approach, to include progress reporting and risk management.
  • You will ensure finance, HR, ITD and business requirements are well defined by effective team and programme management.
  • During the project you will provide an updated business case and associated funding recommendations following the procurement, to gain approval from Cabinet to proceed.

  • It will be essential for you to engage effectively with senior leaders and key stakeholders to gain and maintain cross-cutting support for the programme and ensure the successful implementation and adoption of the new system. You will work closely with the Heads of Financial Services, HR and IT and manage the relationship with the Delivery Partner via its Lead.
  • You will manage a budget of circa £4.8m of which £800k is staffing. The project will deliver cashable savings, due from 2025/26 following the implementation of the new ERP system.

  • You will have a substantial level of senior level leadership experience, including managing professional, qualified staff in a complex area and experience of matrix management of teams.
  • You will be a strong leader, showing your ability to provide depth and breadth of knowledge and to act with credibility at this level. You will be persuasive and engaging, with the ability to hold people to account but also coach and develop a team.
  • It is essential that you have extensive knowledge of delivering against equality, diversity and inclusion objectives within relevant service areas clearly using performance measures to identify imbalances and advance equality of opportunity for all.
