Turn Programme Data Into Decisions That Matter

High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd is looking for a Reporting & Analysis Manager to join its Programme Management Office in Birmingham.

This is not a role where you simply populate reporting templates.

You will sit at the point where information from across programme, cost, risk, estimates, schedule and performance is brought together, challenged and turned into reporting that is used by senior leadership, Corporate functions and Board-level decision makers.

Your work will provide visibility across the breadth of the HS2 programme, covering four Main Works Civils contracts, four stations and eleven rail systems packages.

That means working across a complex mix of delivery organisations, contracts and project controls environments, understanding what the data is telling you, challenging it where necessary and making sure the final reporting presents an accurate picture of programme performance.

For someone who enjoys working with senior stakeholders, getting underneath the detail and turning complex information into something decision-makers can actually use, this is a genuinely high-profile opportunity.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Head of Monitoring, Reporting & Analysis, you will take ownership of key reporting and analysis activity within the HS2 PMO.

You will bring together information from multiple delivery teams and project controls disciplines, ensuring that reporting is accurate, consistent, well governed and delivered to demanding deadlines.

A key part of the role will be interrogating the information rather than simply accepting it.

You will need to understand the detail behind programme, cost, risk, estimates and performance information, identify anomalies or inconsistencies, challenge information that does not look right and work with stakeholders to establish the underlying position.

You will also have the opportunity to improve the way reporting is produced — identifying where processes, responsibilities or governance could be clearer and implementing more effective ways of working.

This is a role with significant stakeholder exposure and requires someone who can operate confidently between detailed project controls information and senior-level programme reporting.

Key Responsibilities

* Own and coordinate key PMO reporting and analysis deliverables across the HS2 programme.

* Bring together programme, cost, risk, estimates, schedule and performance information from multiple contracts and delivery teams.

* Interrogate data and reporting submissions, identifying anomalies, inconsistencies and areas requiring further investigation.

* Challenge information constructively and work with delivery teams to establish an accurate and evidenced position.

* Produce clear, concise reporting and analysis for senior leadership, Corporate functions and Board-level stakeholders.

* Coordinate multiple reporting inputs, stakeholders and deadlines across a complex programme environment.

* Identify opportunities to improve reporting processes, governance, data quality and ways of working.

* Provide insight rather than simply data, helping senior stakeholders understand programme performance, emerging issues and areas requiring attention.
