As a Senior Manager in Energy Transition & Environment you will be focused on serving the needs of our energy and infrastructure customers across multiple sub-sectors and applying Al to real-world problems that have a tangible impact on tackling climate change.

You can expect high levels of delivery responsibility, customer exposure, and business development involvement from day one, as well as the opportunity to contribute directly to our growth plans.

• Overseeing delivery across a portfolio of software development projects. You'll know when to stay close or step back, pre-empt and manage risks and support Faculty teams to deliver our work to the highest level of quality.

• Ensuring the quality of client deliverables, lead communications and ongoing scope management, balancing scope to maximise client value while ensuring sustainability of delivery for teams and margins.

• Managing and supporting account growth, by staying close to the priorities of customers; identifying opportunities and supporting business development activities with the Business Development Director.

• Building trusted relationships. You'll be comfortable working with senior stakeholders, building trust through delivery excellence and an increasing mastery of how Al can be put to work to solve our customers' hardest problems.

• Helping build the business unit, by taking a proactive role in developing good processes and practices that develop the team and help us deliver on our objectives.

• Supporting the development of individuals in Faculty's delivery team, providing coaching on areas for improvement and opportunities to develop as to maximise their potential.

A successful candidate will have demonstrable experience in technology or quantitative project delivery, with significant domain expertise in the Energy sector being essential.

Domain experience within the energy value chain could include regulated utilities, renewables, batteries, energy supply, energy policy or system operation - noting that this is a non-exhaustive set of examples. Corporate ESG, carbon accounting and sustainability experience is less relevant to this opportunity.

To succeed in this role, you'll need demonstrable experience in some of the following:

• Highly credible in dealing with senior stakeholders, with exceptional verbal communication skills, and the ability to boil down complicated concepts to their essence.

• Experience in leading project teams to successful outcomes, not just by directing, but also coaching team members to make the right decisions.

• Demonstrable success in delivering highly complex and nuanced technical programmes, which require juggling multiple internal and client teams across varied departments and disciplines.

• Technical aptitude: Have experience of working with technical teams and delivering technical projects with some (but not exhaustive) technical understanding.

• Talk persuasively about how Al and data can be used to solve problems, and be able to guide clients creatively on how these can be applied to a particular customer's needs. Experience in proposition development and elements of sales is highly desirable.

• The ability to quickly understand what needs to be done in situations with high ambiguity, and proactively identify and implement solutions to address that.

The Faculty team is diverse and distinctive, and we all come from different personal, professional and organisational backgrounds. We all have one thing in common: we are driven by a deep intellectual curiosity that powers us forward each day.

Faculty is the professional challenge of a lifetime. You’ll be surrounded by an impressive group of brilliant minds working to achieve our collective goals.
Our consultants, product developers, business development specialists, operations professionals and more all bring something unique to Faculty, and you’ll learn something new from everyone you meet.
