Reporting to the Head of Talent and Leadership Development, we are looking for a customer-focused, organised, forward thinking and creative Programme Manager to join us and drive our mission of cross-sector collaboration.
WIG was founded on secondments, and as such, they continue to play a hugely important role in our vision for a country where leaders collaborate for the common good.

This is an exciting time to join the Talent and Leadership team and play an integral role in providing a first-class, customer-centric experience to WIG’s members.
You will be responsible for managing the Charity Next Secondment Programme ( a collaborative partnership between the Civil Service Fast Stream and Charities, Not for Profit's and Academia) working collaboratively to maximise secondment engagement between the sectors. You will also manage inwards secondments to member organisations as well as working on and developing new concepts, programmes and solutions to maximise porosity and knowledge sharing. You will work closely with other departments and the wider team to develop and increase both the volume and impact of secondment initiatives. You will do this by leveraging your data-driven and research approach as well as evidencing your strong relationship and stakeholder development skills.

- Demonstrable aptitude in managing administration and processes including the signing of secondment agreements, onboarding meetings, feedback cycles and regular communication strategies.
- Demonstrable history of meeting deadlines and the ability to oversee several different projects simultaneously.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills with a successful track record of building rapport and liaising with senior stakeholders.
- Exceptional organisational skills and impeccable attention to detail.
- Whilst not mandatory, it would be a huge plus if you displayed an interest in current affairs, contributing to a well-rounded and informed professional perspective.
- Prior experience of working to budgets, KPIs and forecasted elements of work.
- Strong teamwork - picking up other elements of work as required from the Talent & Leadership team as well as other interdepartmental bodies.
- A strong self-driven attitude and results orientated attitude - having a positive outlook and a clear focus on high quality output, ability to solve problems and work calmly under pressure.
- Prior experience of operating in the leadership, talent experience would be desirable but is not essential.
