This multi-national transport business has ambitious growth plans within the UK rail market and a reputation for business improvement achieved through best practice exchange across its operations. With a clear focus of further expanding its existing portfolio in the UK through franchise bidding and acquisition, the business seeks to appoint three senior rail professionals to their bid team to help facilitate this growth strategy.
Bid Project Manager
As the project manager for a major UK franchise bid, reporting to the Bid Director, the successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring the bid is run effectively and efficiently to produce a high quality output to tight deadlines. You will be expected to support the bid team by planning and coordinating the interdependent work streams, reviewing and reporting progress in line with the bid strategy and client requirements. This permanent staff role will initially be working on one major bid and will then continue onto further franchise bids on completion.
As an accomplished project manager you will possess the ability to project manage direct staff and consultants to deliver excellent bids in a high pressure environment. You will be analytically strong with good interpersonal skills and be educated to degree level or equivalent and ideally hold a qualification in a project management methodology such as PRINCE2. A good understanding of EFQM and RADAR is desirable for this role.
Work Stream Leader - Finance
This critical role will contribute to the bid by leading the finance work stream reporting to the Bid Director. By effective management of modellers, management accountants and other experts in the finance work stream the leader will ensure a highly competitive bid line, supporting business cases and models are produced.
As a commercially focused finance professional, you will possess franchise bidding experience and relish working in a competitive environment developing a compelling financial proposition. A strong written and oral communicator, you'll interface well with other work streams and excel at leading teams of experts to develop robust financial bid components, on time and on budget. You will probably be degree qualified in a finance-related discipline and hold an appropriate professional membership.
Work Stream Leader - HR, Stakeholder and Mobilisation
With a remit covering multiple work streams you'll be responsible for the HR, stakeholder and mobilisation plans of the bid. You will manage input from internal staff and consultants to produce bid-winning delivery plans, engaging with experts across the organisation to share best practice and develop innovative solutions to operational challenges.
Your senior management experience could have been gained in HR, mobilisation or stakeholder engagement within the rail sector and will ideally include franchise bidding experience. With the gravitas to lead senior teams and broad management experience across the rail sector you'll be highly capable of leading these three functions and have extensive knowledge in at least one. Your writing ability will be excellent and you will ideally have experience of writing plans in RADAR format (as per EFQM methodology).
All three roles are permanent staff positions with a senior management remuneration package and are nominally based in central London, although flexibility to work from other locations on future bids may also be required.
