Business Case Assurance Manager

Closing date: 25th November 2026

Location: Located between Reading and Basingstoke, with free onsite parking.

Package: Starting from £47,760 (depending on your suitability, qualifications, and level of experience)

Working pattern: AWE operates a 9-day working fortnight. We will consider flexible working requests so that your work may fit in with your lifestyle. Just let us know your preferred working pattern on your application.

Let us introduce the role

AWE is currently recruiting for a Business Case Assurance Manager to join our E-PMO function.

The Business Case Assurance Team plays an important role in AWE’s investment governance process, helping to ensure business cases are clear, robust and supported by the appropriate level of assurance.

In this role, you will work closely with colleagues across the business, programme teams and enabling functions, providing advice and guidance on the development and assurance of business cases. You will support teams in applying the appropriate business case approach, including Integrated Approvals and Assurance Plans (IAAP), Abridged Business Cases, Strategic Outline Cases, Outline Business Cases and Full Business Cases.

You will also help continuously improve AWE’s business case assurance processes, reporting and guidance, ensuring they align with relevant requirements.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Providing advice and guidance to project teams on developing robust business cases using the HM Treasury Five Case Model.
  • Developing and continuously improving the business case assurance process and pipeline.
  • Delivering training and Learning from Experience (LFE) activities for colleagues involved in business case production, assurance and governance.
  • Developing management information, reporting tools and dashboards to support effective oversight of the business case pipeline.
  • Building strong relationships with AWE stakeholders and the wider Defence assurance and scrutiny community.

Who are we looking for?

We do need you to have the following:

  • Experience working in a project support, PMO or portfolio support environment, with the ability to manage your own workload and use your initiative.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build effective relationships and provide clear advice and guidance to a range of stakeholders.

Whilst not to be considered a tick list, we’d like you to have experience in some of the following:

  • Writing, reviewing or assuring business cases and applying structured approaches such as the HM Treasury Five Case Model.
  • Business analysis and/or applying Continuous Improvement methodologies.
  • Identifying, assessing and implementing improved ways of working, with a strong focus on efficiency, innovation and quality.
  • Working with a variety of internal and external stakeholders to solve complex business problems and support effective decision-making.
  • A degree or equivalent qualification would be desirable but is not essential.
  • An APM Practitioner qualification would also be beneficial.

Some reasons we think you’ll love it here:

AWE has a wide range of benefits to suit you. These include:

  • 9-day working fortnight – meaning you get every other Friday off work, in addition to 270 hours of annual leave.
  • Market leading contributory pension scheme (we will pay between 9% and 13% of your pensionable pay depending on your contributions).
  • Family friendly policies: Maternity Leave - 39 Weeks Full Pay and Paternity Leave - 4 Weeks Full Pay.
  • Opportunities for Professional Career Development including funding for annual membership of a relevant professional body.
  • Employee Assistance Programme and Occupational Health Services.
  • Life Assurance (4 x annual salary).
  • Discounts – access to savings on a wide range of everyday spending.
  • Special Leave Policy including paid time off for volunteering, public service (including reserve forces) and caring.

The 'Working at AWE' page on our website is where you can find full details in the 'AWE Benefits Guide'.

Hybrid working

Hybrid working is available for this role on an informal, non-contractual basis. Typically [2-3] days onsite per week.

Next steps:

Everyone who works at AWE brings unique skills and perspectives to the table. We recognise that great people don’t always ‘tick every box’. That’s why we focus on your potential, your fit with our values, your transferable skills as well as your experience. Even if you don’t meet every point above, but you feel that this role and AWE are a great fit for you, please go ahead and apply, we’d love to receive your application.

Important things you need to know:

  • We encourage you to apply promptly to avoid disappointment if applications are high and the role therefore closes.
  • You will need to obtain and maintain the necessary security clearance for the role. This will be funded by AWE. The nature of our work does mean you need to be a British Citizen who has been resident in the UK for the past 5 years in order to apply for SC clearance and 10 years for DV.
  • We want you to feel comfortable and able to shine during our recruitment process. Please let us know on your application form if you need any adjustments/accommodations during the process.
  • Our interviews typically take place over Teams and for most roles are a 1 stage process.

Our ambition is to create workplaces where we recognise and celebrate differences, encourage diverse contributions and our employees feel able to be themselves at work. We strive to create a genuine culture of openness and inclusion and encourage diverse applicants. Any inclusion information you provide will be stored in accordance with GDPR and kept separate from your application form and CV, and the information will not be shared with anyone involved in interviewing or making hiring decisions.

Please note that you must be a British Citizen to apply for a role with us.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
