You will work directly with Delivery Project Managers to establish the controls infrastructure that will keep programmes on track and gives leadership accurate, real-time visibility.\nIf you are analytical, self-directed and energised by building things from scratch and you have an interest in how modern tooling and AI can make programme delivery smarter, this role is for you.\nWhat You'll Do: \nMaintain programme schedules across the portfolio, including baseline management, critical path analysis, resource loading and logic health\nDesign and implement controls frameworks, templates and reporting tools for use across the DPM team, identifying gaps in current process and building practical solutions\nSupport cost performance tracking; maintaining actuals, ETC and spend-versus-budget analysis, identifying variances and recommending corrective actions\nBuild and manage programme reporting in a project management platform, configuring dashboards, workflows and data structures that give DPMs and leadership real-time visibility of programme health\nSupport formal change control processes, assessing schedule, cost and resource impact of proposed changes and maintaining the integrity of the programme baseline\nInterrogate risk and opportunity registers, ensuring key actions are tracked in the schedule and that progress toward risk retirement is visible\nIdentify opportunities to improve how the team works - through better tooling, smarter use of data or process changes that reduce manual effort and increase accuracy\nKey Skills: \nExperience in project controls, planning or scheduling, ideally within aerospace, defence or a technically complex industry\nProficiency with scheduling tools such as MS Project; able to build, baseline and interrogate a schedule, not just update one\nAnalytical and detail-oriented, with the ability to work across schedules, cost data and performance metrics and identify what the numbers are actually saying\nA builder, not just a maintainer: self-directed and proactive, able to design and implement process and tooling where nothing exists yet\nCollaborative and credible - able to work across engineering, finance and programme teams and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike\nGenuine curiosity about how project management platforms, data tools and AI can make delivery smarter, with a willingness to learn and experiment\nPreferred Skills: \nExposure to AI tools and/ or data platforms such as Databricks or Power BI, and comfortable adopting new software quickly - curiosity and willingness to learn matters more than specific tool experience\nBachelor's Degree in Engineering, Business, Mathematics or a related field\nSpire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in the office.\nAccess to US export-controlled software and/or technology may be requiredfor this role.
