Project Director

The Project Manager will be initially responsible for the Development Phase of Towner’s Black Robin Farm project (‘the Project’), according to the detail outlined in Towner’s National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) Round One application.

The post holder will be the main point of contact between the Project’s professional team, Towner and our assigned NLHF Investment and Engagement Managers. They will provide administration support and compile the Agendas for the Project Board, and Chair meetings with the Professional Team, and an Activities Working Group, as well as attending all other relevant internal and external meetings specific to the redevelopment of Black Robin Farm.

The Project Manager will work cross functionally and closely with the Design Team; Operations Team and Towner Executive, who are responsible for the wider Project to ensure it meets the requirements of all stakeholders. In addition, the post-holder will be a member of Towner’s Senior Management Team (SMT) and will work closely with SMT colleagues and other key staff to ensure that the development of BRF’s programme, outreach, project communications and audience development plans support Towner’s wider strategic goals.

The role will work closely with the Executive Team to develop a comprehensive transition plan to ensure a smooth progression from a one site to two site operation. If the NLHF Round Two Delivery Phase application is successful, the role will continue and the post-holder would support the implementation of this transition plan.
