Local London is looking for an outstanding programme manager to lead and develop our portfolio of business and employment programmes.
The role requires senior management experience and a track record of successful leadership of a portfolio of large-scale, high-value sub-regional programmes for small businesses and or/employment and skills programmes.

The successful applicant will earn between £63,633 and £65,367, and manage a portfolio of programmes which are externally funded by more than £20 million per year.
