Change Partner (Project Coach)
* Location: Based at Wash Barn, Buckfastleigh, Devon, TQ11 0JU. Reliable transportation is required to commute to Wash Farm - TQ11 0JU, as it is not accessible by public transport routes.
* Contract: 40 hours a week.
* Salary: £65,000 per annum
What you’ll be doing…
Working in our newly formed Business Change team, you’ll be responsible for partnering and coaching the business to ensure that we effectively deliver our project portfolio. Our roadmap is an exciting one, with a mix of projects and programmes ahead.
The Business Change Team is critical to our future success. We want change and new initiatives to be welcomed in the business. To achieve this, we need to build the capabilities across the business to scope and manage projects efficiently and effectively; our commercial success depends on it.
There’s an element of PMO within this role – you will be key in supporting the development of project management capabilities in the business. So, in addition to having a wealth of experience in project management and delivery, you will have been coaching and mentoring others for some time.
This isn’t a functional project management role, but one where you will really need to engage managers and stakeholders across a wide variety of areas. You will understand how to effectively manage change, and share, for example, how to run and facilitate engaging workshops.
Skills & experience
* Must have a strong background of coaching, training and mentoring others to deliver successful projects and change.
* Second to none facilitation skills, with the ability to coach others to be confident at running their own sessions.
* Variety of project and change management experience – having delivered operational and people projects for a number of years is a must.
* You must have exceptional ability to lead through change – able to demonstrate to others how you bring people along with you.
* Clear understanding of the cultural and people impact change has is essential.
* Experience of working in a central change, transformation or PMO team supporting others to deliver projects is desirable.
* Strong governance and financial planning experience is desirable.
* Coaching and project management qualifications are desirable.
Co-owner benefits
Riverford is a beautiful place to work, with lots of great people – and other perks too. Some of our benefits include: 33 days holiday pro rata (including bank holidays), generous company pension scheme, annual profit share (10% of all our profits are split equally between all co-owners), heavily discounted organic breakfasts and lunches, free organic fruit and veg, time and half on bank holidays, and free parking.
We truly appreciate the time and effort put into every application. As this role has similar requirements to previous Change positions we've advertised in the last year, we won’t be able to consider previous applications this time around. Thank you for your understanding
