Strategic Reset Programme Delivery Team Lead

Role Responsibility

Kent County Council's Strategic Reset programme was launched in December 2020, re-setting our priorities to:

• Respond to the financial and resource challenge.
• Mitigate significant risks to the organisation.
• Better connect across KCC to maximise our impact

Our Programme brings together new and existing change programmes from across the organisation identified as critical for shaping our future. Led by our Corporate Management Team, the programme is a way to strengthen our organisation and create an improved experience for residents, colleagues, partners, and people who use our services.

SRP aligns our priority change programmes, considering important inter-dependencies and avoiding duplication.

To continue to drive the ambitions, the SRP programme team is expanding to provide additional capacity to deliver these key programmes and is now creating a new SRP Delivery Team. This is your opportunity to shape and lead the new team:

SRP Delivery Lead 

We are looking for an exceptional outcome focused Delivery Lead, to join the SRP team. This key role will work closely with services to successfully deliver a range of high profile, politically sensitive and complex SRP programmes, across multiple service areas.

Leading a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary team, you will work on a number of high priority change programmes that form the SRP and through your significant experience lead the delivery team’s in-depth support for high priority transformational programmes.

Your strong analytical and strategic thinking skills will enable you to make connections across these highly complex programmes to align competing objectives and priorities. You will bring together key insights, pipelines and processes across SRP using detailed programme management expertise.

Working in collaboration with stakeholders to gain buy in, define programmes, and proactively create delivery solutions for these programmes, you will use your strong interpersonal skills to build relationships to drive and manage solutions through to successful delivery using a sound project management approach.

As the recognised expert you will frequently represent the SRP team at various forums, showing leadership and confidence to advise on all aspects of the programme and implement KCC and local government best practice.

If you are passionate about the potential to transform the way we work and be part of making that happen, we want to hear from you.

As part of the interview process for this role you may be required to complete additional testing.
