Job Details

Our Green Investment Group's global offshore wind business is responsible for the successful management and delivery of a pipeline of 15+ GW of offshore wind projects, the origination of new opportunities and partnerships as well as the provision of asset management and advisory services to third party investors. The organisation is currently looking to strengthen its capabilities, organisation and operational infrastructure to better meet the evolving needs of the rapidly expanding business.

In this newly created role, you will report to the Head of Asset Management of Green Investment Group’s (GIG) global Offshore Wind business and be responsible for the project management stage gate governance framework, project steering and assurance according to GIG’s project management model.

You will be expected to develop and embed GIG’s project stage gate process across the global portfolio, developing best in class templates and guidelines to provide robust project governance and assurance. You will provide insight and independent advice to senior management on project maturity, risks and value drivers to support effective portfolio management and project decision making that aligns with business objectives.

You will coordinate with internal stakeholders and partners across various geographies and functions to support project delivery, delivering an agile and flexible project governance framework that can adapt to the challenges of joint-venture delivery models.

You will be the subject matter expert for project teams on project assurance requirements, supporting project teams in successfully meeting those requirements and managing the stage gate process across the portfolio. This will require an in-depth analysis of the existing portfolio and mapping individual projects accordingly to the new framework.

To be successful in this role, you will have at least 7 years of cumulative experience in governance, risk management or project delivery roles, ideally in the energy and/or infrastructure sector. Previous experience with offshore wind projects and of working in a multi-national business would be an advantage. Experience in developing and implementing risk management or governance frameworks in a dynamic business for projects at different lifecycle stages would also be an advantage.

If you possess a strong sense of accountability, are able to focus on details while maintaining a holistic view, enjoy collaboration across functional and geographic boundaries, and want to work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, we want to hear from you.

The programme pairs up Senior Managers with Directors, who meet on a monthly basis, and are supported by active group sessions (bi-monthly) with an external facilitator.

We select some of the brightest minds to help us in solving complex challenges for our clients.  We recognise that recruiting talent from varied backgrounds is essential to improving our understanding of the marketplace, and enhancing creativity and problem-solving capabilities in our businesses.

Because of this, our commitment to you is to create a diverse and inclusive workplace regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity or cultural background.
