Program Leader

A Program Leader manages and oversees a specific programme or project within an organisation. You might work in various sectors including education, community services, or corporate environments. Program Leaders focus on planning, executing, and evaluating programme activities to ensure they meet organisational goals and standards. You’ll coordinate with team members, allocate resources, and track progress to ensure successful outcomes.

Program Leaders play a crucial role in the success of their programmes. You’ll need to be organised, decisive, and capable of managing multiple tasks simultaneously. Effective communication and leadership skills are essential to motivate your team, resolve issues, and ensure that all aspects of the programme are running smoothly.
