M&A Programme Manager Job at Social Value Portal Ltd (London)

Job Description

Programme Manager / Operations Programme Manager within Business Outcomes is required to work for a large and growing Professional Services business based in Central London. This will be 3 days in the office per week and 2 days from home. Please read in full before applying. We DON’T want an IT Programme Manager but we do want someone with a blend of Operations and IT within Programme Management. Historical skills of managing a large portfolio of projects and programmes, spinning lots of plates and proven battle scars where you have faced off to difficult stakeholders would certainly be welcomed. The business loves pragmatic individuals and, as there will be heavy Governance working in this highly regulated environment, we need you to have a strong background in Governance too. The first likely Programme of work you will inherit will be in relation to Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A). There is a smaller firm being imbedded into the larger firm. This will not be on the transactional side of M&A – more on the business processes merging, systems, efficiencies etc. You MUST have some form of M&A experience. De-merger experience would also be valid. You will need to ‘storyboard’ your experience both in your CV and at potential interview. The key interest will be ‘business outcomes’. “What impact did the programme (that you were in charge of) have on the overall business. This will be all about the influence YOU had, what YOU brought to the table, what YOU were responsible for, what things looked like when you walked in and what it looked like at the end…
