<h2>Good Growth</h2>
Good Growth is responsible for delivering and implementing the Mayor’s environment, transport and economic strategies and for the effective implementation of the London Plan. The Directorate is also responsible for regeneration (where the programme is not housing led), enterprise, growth, capital projects and design work.
<h2>About the team</h2>
Would you like to transform London to make it greener, healthier, nature-rich and ready to tackle the climate and ecological emergencies? The Green Infrastructure and Climate Adaptation teams work closely together to deliver the Mayor’s ‘<a href="https://www.london.gov.uk/md3384-delivery-plan-delivering-greener-more-climate-resilient-london" target="_blank">Delivering a Greener and More Climate-Resilient London</a>’ mandate and delivery plan. The teams deliver against seven main projects/workstreams to enable Londoners to enjoy green and wild spaces across the capital, and for London to be resilient to extreme weather and the impacts of climate change.
We’re looking for a Principal Programme Delivery Officer to help lead City Hall’s Green Infrastructure Team to deliver the key programmes set out in this delivery plan.
This is a unique opportunity to help achieve the Mayor’s ambition to make London a leader in green infrastructure and urban rewilding, ensure that London remains more than half green and to ensure more Londoners benefit from having green space near where they live.
<h2>About the role</h2>
Reporting to the Head of Green Infrastructure, you will manage a team of 2-3 and steer a varied portfolio of implementation and delivery programmes to enhance and add to London’s network of green infrastructure. The role will include concept and detailed design of key programmes and projects; managing finance, governance, and cross-team communication and evaluation; supporting the Head of Green Infrastructure and other GI managers to set up and manage budgets and resourcing plans and broadly support the programme coordination of the team.&nbsp;
The Green Infrastructure Team’s portfolio includes work on Nature/Biodiversity/Rewilding, Trees &amp; Woodlands and Green Spaces &amp; Urban Greening, plus cross-cutting issues, such as data &amp; evidence, strategy &amp; planning, green finance and more. You will work alongside managers who lead the three thematic portfolios and act as project directors and policy leads. Your team will lead on a key cross-cutting manifesto commitment programme—the Green Roots Programme—ensuring it is well-integrated across the team and delivering to time and budget alongside other teams.
To succeed in the role, you’ll need to be a collaborative and confident programme manager. You’ll need to have strong abilities in project or programme design and delivery. While policy or technical expertise in a green infrastructure topic area would be helpful, it is not necessary for someone who can learn quickly. You must be comfortable in working with ambiguity with minimal instruction, translating senior leader requests into action, communicating complex issues and programmes clearly, sensitively handling issues in a fast-paced and political environment, and dealing with iterative change.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across the Environment Unit and the wider GLA to make sure that green infrastructure policies and programmes are integrated with other strategies, plans and programmes, and to support wider policy development and delivery. This will include working closely with the Climate Adaptation, Economic Development, Planning, Regeneration, Infrastructure, Communities, Health, Skills and other GLA teams, as well as TfL and other GLA Functional Bodies.
