Are you ready to lead a high-performing team and make a real impact across the North East?
We’re looking for two dynamic and experienced Programme & Funding Team Lead’s to manage our contract management function, driving the delivery of Revenue and Capital Investment Programmes. This pivotal role ensures funding is distributed effectively and in line with contractual and statutory requirements, supporting the Combined Authority’s strategic objectives. You’ll be at the heart of ensuring our processes are robust, our investments deliver meaningful outcomes, and our work stands up to scrutiny—meeting political expectations and maximising regional impact.
As a Team Leader, you’ll oversee a team and manage a high volume of investment contracts, ensuring timely claims processing, risk management, and performance monitoring. You’ll work collaboratively across the organisation and with external partners, providing expert guidance and resolving escalated issues with confidence and diplomacy. From producing performance reports for senior stakeholders to shaping business processes and deputising for the Principal Assurance Manager, this is a role that demands leadership, precision, and strategic thinking. If you’re ready to influence change and drive excellence in public investment, we’d love to hear from you.
We are proud to be an inclusive employer, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, communities and experiences. We particularly encourage applications from candidates who are underrepresented in senior roles, including women, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people and those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.
