Project Manager

Description:

We are looking for an experienced project manager to lead on implementation of charity-wide changes to the Dogs Trust governance structure, and any subsequent changes to its subsidiaries that will enable us to deliver our strategy.

Why Dogs Trust?

We love dogs. That’s why we do whatever we can to make sure every four-legged friend gets the love they deserve. We’ll never put a healthy dog down, so our work is focused on helping dogs in need, supporting owners every step of the walk, and creating a better world for dogs in the future. It’s what we’ve been doing since 1891 and how we’ve grown to become the UK’s leading dog charity, helping 12,000 loyal friends find their forever homes every year.

What does this role involve?

As Governance Project Manager, you’ll:

• project manage the implementation of important changes to our corporate structure, maintaining a detailed project plan and liaising with key stakeholders to ensure the project timeline is kept,
• set up and facilitate workstream groups, ensuring actions are completed,
• manage relationships with senior staff and external legal advisors,
• be in daily communication with a number of action owners.

What skills do you need?

To be successful in this role, you’ll need:

• a “can-do” attitude to getting things done,
• excellent proficiency in project management software,
• have some experience in similar role (such as business development), where you have had to liaise with a number of different departments and colleagues in order to complete a large-scale project,
• effective communication skills, with the ability to influence in order to ensure actions are completed.
