Join NPL to manage a high-profile AI programme that is supporting the UK and bring real-world benefits. NPL works at a strategic level with government and academia to respond to UK challenges and priorities. Ultimately, our programmes translate cutting-edge science and engineering into impactful practical applications. Managing these programmes is a major responsibility – and a huge career opportunity.
As part of the Department of Data Science and AI, you will be responsible for managing strategic growth and delivery of NPL’s AI Programme and Digital National Quality Infrastructure Programme, working towards agreed objectives and outcomes. This will involve managing all aspects of programme governance, and ensuring individual projects are effectively defined, resourced and co-ordinated. This role is a unique opportunity to shape NPL’s future contribution to building confidence in AI and evolving the national quality infrastructure.
Alongside the Leadership team, you will lead the business development, internal and external stakeholder management, and strategy and delivery of the two programmes. Effective stakeholder management and engagement will be central to the success of your programme. Your communication skills will also have a wider impact – we want you to champion programme management best practices throughout the organisation and support their wider adoption.
The individual will be based in our Cambridge Hub, and be the Department contact at the Hub, managing operations and engagement.
