Greater Manchester Police is one of the largest police forces in the UK and is responsible for keeping its diverse population of almost 3 million safe.

Change & Transformation Branch is responsible for the portfolio of business change which delivers improvements to the way we work across the Force. Change is prioritised and co-ordinated across complex programmes, and by working directly with key stakeholders, we influence the landscape of change in line with current strategy.

The portfolio consists of a number of strategic programmes each of which will bring about transformational change across the organisation, including structures, processes and technology.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for the right person to join our Change and Transformation Branch in the role of a Change Project Manager.

The Change Project Manager role sits within the Delivery Team. Each project manager typically manages multiple projects, under the supervision of a Programme Manager and the governance of project boards.

The project manager takes responsibility for the full lifecycle of the project from initiation to closure, managing multi-disciplinary teams in a matrix managed environment.

The role is based at Force Headquarters, but allows for some agile working. Hours are flexible within Force policy constraints.

We are looking for an experienced business change project manager who is able to effectively and efficiently manage and deliver multiple diverse projects for a range of different business stakeholders.

Key attributes and experience include:
� Qualified in Project Methodologies such as PRINCE2� or similar and experience of customising methodologies to meet needs.
� Proactive management of internal and external key programme controls including RAID, financials (forecast costs to complete, technical and management contingency and capital cost), quality, scope and performance against schedule.
� Track record of building relationships with key stakeholders and active management of expectations through appropriate communications, assurance and governance.
� Ability to understand and clarify customer requirements, and effectively communicate between technical and non-technical personnel.
� Flexibility; can alter plans to react to shifting priorities, demands and timelines.
� Strong familiarity with associated software, e.g. Microsoft Project and MS Excel.
� Experience of working both independently and in a collaborative environment.
� Highly organised, with an ability to manage time and execute tasks effectively within in a fast-moving, high-pressure environment.
� Ability to recognise the communication styles of customers and other team members and contractors who come from a broad spectrum of disciplines.
� Persuasive, encouraging, and motivating, with excellent communication skills.
� Ability to elicit cooperation from a wide variety of sources, including senior management, representatives of other departments, external partners, suppliers and recipients of change.
� Ability to resolve conflicts and address objections from customers and wider project teams, negotiating to ensure project success.
� Ability to learn, understand and apply new technologies.
