Business Manager – Sheffield Role Review Programme (SRRP)

Are you passionate about equality, strong governance and making complex programmes run smoothly?
Sheffield City Council is seeking a Business Manager to support the effective delivery of the Sheffield Role Review Programme (SRRP) - a high‑profile, organisation‑wide programme underpinning our commitment to equal pay and fair outcomes.

In this role, you will provide leadership and coordination across the operational, financial and business management activity that supports job evaluation delivery. You will manage systems and processes, and ensure robust planning, performance management and assurance arrangements are in place.

Working closely with senior managers, programme leads, trade unions and a wide range of stakeholders, you will support engagement, consultation and reporting, helping to ensure the programme operates efficiently, transparently and in line with Council policies and governance requirements.

We are looking for someone with strong business and financial acumen, excellent organisational and communication skills, and a proactive, solutions‑focused approach. You will be confident leading people and processes, managing competing priorities, and supporting delivery in a complex and politically sensitive environment.

This role is Sheffield‑based, with regular attendance at Council offices and flexibility required to meet programme needs.

Assessment and interview dates: w/c 20/04/26

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.

It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.

Under the Guaranteed Interview scheme, applicants who are disabled, care leavers, or armed forces veterans will be guaranteed an interview if they meet the essential criteria and indicate their eligibility on the application form.

Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.

If you are appointed to this role, your starting salary will be at the bottom of the grade. If you provide payslip evidence that your basic pay is greater than the bottom of the grade, we will consider starting you at the point of minimum advantage within the grade.

Equality of pay is extremely important to us. All roles at Sheffield City Council are going through an evaluation process which may result in changes to some pay arrangements from 2026. Find out more on our Sheff news page.
