<h2>Good Growth</h2>
Good Growth is responsible for delivering and implementing the Mayor’s environment, transport and economic strategies and for the effective implementation of the London Plan. The Directorate is also responsible for regeneration (where the programme is not housing led), enterprise, growth, capital projects and design work.
<h2>About the team</h2>
Would you like to transform London to make it greener, healthier, nature-rich and ready to tackle the climate and ecological emergencies? The Green Infrastructure and Climate Adaptation teams work closely together to deliver the Mayor’s ‘<a href="https://www.london.gov.uk/md3384-delivery-plan-delivering-greener-more-climate-resilient-london" target="_blank">Delivering a Greener and More Climate-Resilient London</a>’ mandate and delivery plan. The teams deliver against seven main projects/workstreams to enable Londoners to enjoy green and wild spaces across the capital, and for London to be resilient to extreme weather and the impacts of climate change.
We’re looking for a Principal Programme Delivery Officer to help lead City Hall’s Green Infrastructure Team to deliver the key programmes set out in this delivery plan.
This is a unique opportunity to help achieve the Mayor’s ambition to make London a leader in green infrastructure and urban rewilding, ensure that London remains more than half green and to ensure more Londoners benefit from having green space near where they live.
<h2>About the role</h2>
Reporting to the Head of Green Infrastructure, you will manage a team of 2-3 and steer a varied portfolio of implementation and delivery programmes to enhance and add to London’s network of green infrastructure. The role will include concept and detailed design of key programmes and projects; managing finance, governance, and cross-team communication and evaluation; supporting the Head of Green Infrastructure and other GI managers to set up and manage budgets and resourcing plans and broadly support the programme coordination of the team.&nbsp;
The Green Infrastructure Team’s portfolio includes work on Nature/Biodiversity/Rewilding, Trees &amp; Woodlands and Green Spaces &amp; Urban Greening, plus cross-cutting issues, such as data &amp; evidence, strategy &amp; planning, green finance and more. You will work alongside managers who lead the three thematic portfolios and act as project directors and policy leads. Your team will lead on a key cross-cutting manifesto commitment programme—the Green Roots Programme—ensuring it is well-integrated across the team and delivering to time and budget alongside other teams.
To succeed in the role, you’ll need to be a collaborative and confident programme manager. You’ll need to have strong abilities in project or programme design and delivery. While policy or technical expertise in a green infrastructure topic area would be helpful, it is not necessary for someone who can learn quickly. You must be comfortable in working with ambiguity with minimal instruction, translating senior leader requests into action, communicating complex issues and programmes clearly, sensitively handling issues in a fast-paced and political environment, and dealing with iterative change.
The Mayor’s ‘<a href="https://www.london.gov.uk/md3384-delivery-plan-delivering-greener-more-climate-resilient-london" target="_blank">Delivering a Greener and More Climate-Resilient London</a>’ delivery plan is new and means a majority of the Green Infrastructure team’s work is new, innovative and in the process of design and early implementation. You will need to be able to manage varied and fast-paced work, have good programme management skills and be effective at communicating with and influencing a range of mainly internal stakeholders, preferably with some experience of doing this in a political environment. You’ll need to be flexible, adaptable, and have a collaborative approach, as this role requires working across many initiatives and policy areas simultaneously.
You’ll work closely with colleagues across the Environment Unit and the wider GLA to make sure that green infrastructure policies and programmes are integrated with other strategies, plans and programmes, and to support wider policy development and delivery. This will include working closely with the Climate Adaptation, Economic Development, Planning, Regeneration, Infrastructure, Communities, Health, Skills and other GLA teams, as well as TfL and other GLA Functional Bodies. Your team will also work closely with the Mayor’s Office and key external stakeholders and partners across London, including boroughs, government bodies, NGOs and community groups, to communicate the work of the Green Infrastructure team and to promote our programmes in an inclusive way.
<h2>What your day will look like</h2>
<ul>
<li>Working with the Head of Green Infrastructure and other GI managers to support requests from the Deputy Mayor of London for Environment and Energy and the Senior Adviser, such as briefings, communications lines, project updates and other cross-team activities.</li>
<li>Supporting the Head of Green Infrastructure to maintain oversight of the GI portfolio of programmes through governance, finance management, and portfolio management.</li>
<li>Directing and supporting the wider team on procurement, stakeholder management, communications, finance and other issues.</li>
<li>Collaborating with colleagues across key departments, including the Environment Unit Programme Coordination &amp; Management team, the Good Growth Directorate Community of Practice for Programme Management, Procurement, Governance, Finance, Communications and Marketing teams, Digital Experience Unit, Economic Development Programmes Unit and the Mayor’s Office.</li>
<li>With your team, develop and maintain repositories for key lines, briefings, project databases, stakeholder engagement and other record.</li>
<li>Line Management of the Green Roots Project Manager, Project Support Officer and other roles supporting Green Roots and beyond.</li>
</ul>

Principal Programme Delivery Officer

<ul></ul>





<h2>Good Growth</h2>
Good Growth is responsible for delivering and implementing the Mayor’s environment, transport and economic strategies and for the effective implementation of the London Plan. The Directorate is also responsible for regeneration (where the programme is not housing led), enterprise, growth, capital projects and design work.
<h2>About the team</h2>
Would you like to transform London to make it greener, healthier, nature-rich and ready to tackle the climate and ecological emergencies? The Green Infrastructure and Climate Adaptation teams work closely together to deliver the Mayor’s ‘<a href="https://www.london.gov.uk/md3384-delivery-plan-delivering-greener-more-climate-resilient-london" target="_blank">Delivering a Greener and More Climate-Resilient London</a>’ mandate and delivery plan. The teams deliver against seven main projects/workstreams to enable Londoners to enjoy green and wild spaces across the capital, and for London to be resilient to extreme weather and the impacts of climate change.
We’re looking for a Project Manager for our new Green Roots Programme. This is a unique opportunity to help achieve the Mayor’s ambition to make London a leader in green infrastructure and urban rewilding, ensure that London remains more than half green and to ensure more Londoners benefit from having green space near where they live.
<h2>About the role</h2>
Reporting to the Principal Programme Delivery Officer, you will project manage the Mayor’s new Green Roots Programme, one of the key delivery programmes of the Mayor’s manifesto commitments and the team’s work programme to enhance and add to London’s network of green infrastructure.
You will be responsible for a £12m grant investment and parallel work programmes to ensure that the grant reaches underrepresented groups and communities. You will direct the grant fund, developing and implementing innovative and robust guidance, processes, systems and structures to ensure strong programme delivery.
You will work closely with colleagues across the Environment Unit and the wider GLA to successfully deliver the grant programme, coordinating the input of the Green Infrastructure, Climate Adaptation, Regeneration, Communities, Health, and other GLA teams to drive programme impact, as well as overseeing and supporting the work of the Economic Development Programmes Unit team that administers the grant, and the Digital Experience Unit and Grants Strategy teams as part of an organisation-wide pilot. You will work to ensure that the grant fund and wider programme deliver their desired outcomes, coordinate governance, procurement, finance activities and identify opportunities to enhance and grow the fund. You will also work closely with key external stakeholders and partners across London, including boroughs, government bodies, NGOs and community groups, to communicate the Green Roots Programme and to promote our work in an inclusive way.
The Green Infrastructure Team’s portfolio includes work on Nature/Biodiversity/Rewilding, Trees &amp; Woodlands and Green Spaces &amp; Urban Greening, plus cross-cutting issues, such as data &amp; evidence, strategy &amp; planning, green finance and more. You will work in a matrix way across the three thematic portfolios to align policies and outcomes.
To succeed in the role, you’ll need to be a collaborative and confident project manager. You’ll need to have strong abilities in project or programme design and delivery, with experience in grant management strongly desirable. While policy or technical expertise in a green infrastructure topic area would be helpful, it is not necessary for someone who can learn quickly. You must be comfortable in working with ambiguity with minimal instruction, translating senior leader requests into action, communicating complex issues and programmes clearly, managing relationships in pressured situations and dealing with iterative change.
The Mayor’s ‘<a href="https://www.london.gov.uk/md3384-delivery-plan-delivering-greener-more-climate-resilient-london" target="_blank">Delivering a Greener and More Climate-Resilient London</a>’ delivery plan is new. The Green Roots Programme is a key project of this delivery plan, but it, along with most of the Green Infrastructure team’s work is new, innovative and in the process of design and early implementation. You will need to be able to manage varied and fast-paced work, have good project management skills and be effective at communicating with and influencing a range of stakeholders, preferably with some experience of doing this in a political environment. You’ll need to be flexible, adaptable, and have a collaborative approach, as this role requires working across many teams as well as piloting new activities in the organisation.
