Raizcorp is seeking a highly competent and experienced Projects Manager to manage multiple bespoke incubation-type programmes. Within this role you will actively manage a high volume of corporate sponsored programmes from inception to completion with our programme participants being small business owners eager to grow and develop. Your mandate will be to take each sponsored programme from launch to graduation, ensuring every deliverable is met, every risk is managed, and every stakeholder is well served.
You need to be a detail-obsessed project management professional with deep experience in high-volume, compliance-heavy delivery (ideally in learning/training/bespoke contracts environments).
The position’s key outputs include:
End-to-end programme delivery across a portfolio
Drive multi-programme plans (scopes, schedules, budgets, risk registers, etc.), ensuring every programme hits its outcomes and graduation milestones.
Programme compliance: each sponsored programme has a bespoke compliance framework (attendance, coaching hours, learning attendance, reporting cadence, financial contributions, etc.).
Systems-led execution (daily dashboard leadership): deliberately operate through our incubation management and learner-management software. Log in daily, interrogate dashboards across all programmes, surface exceptions early, direct your team’s actions, and close the loop. You are comfortable leading through system, not spreadsheets alone.
Data and reporting: own data integrity across participants and programmes. Rhythmic interrogation (and compilation) of reporting such as compliance, learning and coaching activity, financial tracking, outcomes, exits, graduations etc. (both internal leadership and external sponsors.) Make sound decisions based on trend analysis, not anecdotes.
Cross-functional team management and leadership: Coordinate and performance-manage a delivery team that includes business coaches, bookkeepers support, administrators and facilitators. Ensure capacity cover for absenteeism, uphold standards, and keep delivery seamless.
Client engagement and stakeholder management: Quarterly (and ad-hoc) boardroom reporting to C-suite client. Present progress, defend the data, agree on adjustments, and translate client instructions into rapid delivery changes without breaking compliance or process.
