My client is a global leader and innovator within their field, instantly recognisable and one of the main players worldwide. They have recently created and launched a brand new cutting edge product which could well change the face of their sector, will entrench them as the No.1 brand and also take the business in a different direction to their competition.
Having just been engaged with a major Govt function to roll this brand new product out across their department, this is their 1st full engagement in the UK IE and they are looking for a senior Programme Manager to ensure the full delivery of this 4 year programme working closely with the Head of Product in the US and the UKI MD.
