We're looking for a Senior Project Sponsor for a public sector organisation based in Plymouth (hybrid) on an initial 12 Months contract, paying up to £600 per day (Inside IR35).

This is a hybrid role with an expectation to attend the office in Plymouth three days a week.

The successful Senior Project Sponsor will help lead the delivery of major infrastructure projects within a growing defence team, working alongside delivery agencies and industry partners. You'll own requirements across the project life cycle, keep delivery mapped to the agreed performance, cost and time envelope, and act as a critical friend to the project team. You'll also apply effective governance and enable timely decision making.

You will need proven experience in the following:

Infrastructure or complex product delivery

Requirements management across the project life cycle

Stakeholder management in a complex environment with competing interests

Working with and managing approvals authorities and other government departments

Developing and applying governance to projects

Reviewing and reporting performance to management teams

You'll also need practical exposure to aligning strategy and business objectives to project justification, and building relationships and networks that support business objectives.

Experience with a mixed workforce (civilian, military, contractors) in an integrated project team would be beneficial, as would awareness of NEC4 and an engineering background.

An APM qualification (e.g. APMQ) or equivalent is highly desirable.

You'll need to hold or be eligible to obtain SC clearance.
