Are you excited about partnering with UK Central Government departments to drive high-visibility programmes and projects? Are you equally comfortable working with technical and non-technical teams to meet business requirements? If so, the AWS Global Government Delivery Organisation is looking for a Programme Manager with a proven record of delivering results.

This position focuses on the delivery of AWS services to our UK Central Government customers, including departments such as HMRC, DWP, Home Office, Cabinet Office, and other ministerial departments.

This role requires effective cross-functional collaboration across diverse teams to solve complex problems, identify requirements, design processes, and manage timelines for programmes and projects supporting UK Government customers. It involves delivering results by coordinating diverse teams, such as sales, capture, business operations, legal, cybersecurity, solution architects, and software development, towards a common goal. It entails regular communication with management on project status, business opportunities, and risks.

We seek an innovative programme manager who has experience in delivering solutions to UK Central Government. To be successful in this position, the candidate must have the ability to solve complex, technical/non-technical problems with simple and practical solutions. This person must be comfortable with ambiguity and display a willingness to dive deep to uncover additional insights into such problems. A strong candidate is customer-obsessed and displays ownership and a bias for action in everything they do. The ability to effectively communicate with management and stakeholders across the organisation is key to success.
