As part of a brand new Research & Development team established within the Alliance, the Project Officer is responsible to the Research and Development Manager and is responsible for managing projects which contribute to the achievement of the current corporate objectives. These include project support and leadership on projects across the organisation that contribute to the achievement of current operational plan objectives but specifically projects to increase income and provide enhanced services to members. These include projects in business development, education and training, sport/recreation development and membership support.

This is a role which will demand a flexible approach, the capacity to recognise and proactively address organisational needs, and the ability to construct and deliver projects and programmes, within budget and to schedule. A track record in securing funding and delivering successful funded and tendered projects is essential. This post will work across the Alliance and deliver a sophisticated, comprehensive project management system, working with other teams and external partners as needed.

This is a newly created role and represents a good chance to learn and make your mark. The environment is very positive and fun as you would expect in a sporting organisation, but we work hard. As a member of our team, you’ll be doing everything you can to delivery our strategy. And we’ll be doing everything we can to support you every step of the way. We’re committed to helping all of our staff develop their skills and reach their full potential. From face-to face training to networking and volunteering – you’ll have all the opportunities you need to make the right moves for you. We know the postholder won’t start with expertise in all these areas and we will help develop your knowledge.
