Who we are looking for

Do you have a demonstrable track record of leading effective programme delivery? Do you have strong strategy and change management skills?

We are looking for a talented experienced professional to join our organisation as the Senior Director of Programmes. You’ll play a key role in ensuring high quality professional development for teachers and school leaders at a national scale, with senior responsibility initially for Ambition’s traded programmes portfolio which include our flagship teacher development programmes.

You’ll be responsible for our programme delivery strategy, leading change as required to ensure our delivery remains responsive to the shifting demands of new programmes and contracts as well as working closely with our Finance team on the effective monitoring of a multi-million pound budget.

Working in a hybrid way, you’ll be attached to either our Birmingham, London or Manchester office and will report to the Executive Director of Programmes. You’ll manage a multidisciplinary team of Directors and demonstrate dedication to our mission.

Other responsibilities you can expect from your new role include being accountable for the logistics, scheduling of facilitators and events across all our centrally delivered programmes, as well as overall headship of programme data, reporting, reviewing risk and the continuous improvement of programme delivery.
