Frequently Asked Questions for Programme Manager Jobs

What is Programme Management?

Programme Management is the process of managing multiple related projects within an organisation to achieve set objectives. Unlike Project Management, which focuses on individual projects, Programme Management oversees interdependent projects to ensure they align with business goals.

What does a Programme Manager do?

Programme Managers coordinate several projects within a programme, ensuring they align with the organisation’s overall objectives. Your job responsibilities will vary depending on the industry you’re working in, but they will likely include:

  • Overseeing project teams and ensuring project alignment
  • Managing risks and schedules
  • Communicating with clients/stakeholders
  • Ensuring objectives are met
  • Identifying and mitigating issues and risks within a project
  • Assigning team members to projects
  • Progress reporting
  • Assigning budgets and ensuring these are met

If you have any questions about the Programme Manager job description, our friendly team is here to help. We’re committed to making your job search as smooth as possible, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.

How much does a Programme Manager earn?

Salaries for Programme Managers vary based depending on skills and experience. The starting salary is around £38,000 while an established Programme Manager in the UK can earn between £50,000 and £90,000 per year, with senior roles reaching over £100,000.

How to become a Programme Manager

A Programme Manager is a great role, and there are several ways you can get started. In most cases, you’ll need to have a degree in business, management, or something related to your chosen industry such as IT. If possible, use a placement year whilst at university to get some first-hand experience.

If you are a post graduate, consider entering the Programme Manager role in a smaller company, or perhaps gain some short term work experience to give you real world insights.

You might also find obtaining relevant certifications such as PRINCE2, MSP or PMP gives you an edge over other candidates. Your company may be happy to put you through these qualifications which you can do alongside your full time role.

In terms of soft skills, Programme Manager job duties mean leadership and strategic planning skills are extremely important, as well as time management and attention to detail.

Is a Programme Manager a good career?

Absolutely! Programme management offers competitive salaries, career growth opportunities and the chance to lead on some exciting, fast paced projects.

What degree do you need to become a Programme Manager?

While there is no single degree requirement, a background in business management, engineering, IT or a related field is beneficial for Programme manager job requirements.
