Lead Information Manager

Can you write a set of exchange information requirements from a blank page?   Not tailor someone else's template. Write them, and defend every decision in them. If that is you, keep reading.   About Amodal   Amodal is an information management specialist for the built environment. We work with asset owners, developers, tier one contractors and public sector programmes, including Laing O'Rourke, British Land, UCL, UKIFS and Balfour Beatty VINCI.   We are a certified B Corporation, accredited to ISO 9001, 14001 and 27001, and we develop endev-o, our own information assurance platform. Our consultants shape the product, and the product raises the standard of information management across the industry rather than only within Amodal.   A team of around fifteen, working fully remotely.   The opportunity   Our client portfolio has grown ahead of our senior delivery capacity. We are appointing an experienced information manager to lead engagements from the point of award, reporting to our Associate Director (Managed Services).   We are deliberately open on grade. The role is scoped as Lead Information Manager, sitting above our Senior Project Information Managers. For a candidate who brings account ownership, commercial judgement and a track record of winning work, we will appoint at Associate Director.   The role   You will most often act as Client Information Manager on behalf of an appointing party, typically an asset owner or developer. The role extends equally to appointed party work, alongside or embedded within contractor organisations, where the emphasis moves to producing BIM execution plans and delivery plans. You need to be credible on both sides of the appointment.  

• Leading the information management work on your engagements, whether for asset owners, developers or contractors, and acting as the client's day to day point of contact
• Authoring exchange information requirements and the wider appointing party suite, including information standards and the methods and procedures beneath them
• Producing BIM execution plans and delivery plans as an appointed party, and reviewing, challenging and approving them as an appointing party
• Owning the configuration and governance of common data environments and EDMS platforms, and the document control processes that run inside them

• BIM execution plans you have produced as an appointed party, and reviewed or returned as an appointing party
• Direct ownership of a major CDE or EDMS: Asite, Aconex, BCDE, Viewpoint, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Dalux, Procore or ProjectWise

• Fully remote working, with travel to client sites, predominantly London and the South East
• Autonomy without a management chain, exposure to a product business as well as a consultancy, and a defined route to Associate Director   Our hiring process   Three conversations, concluded within three weeks: a short introductory call, a technical interview using worked examples, and a final conversation with our Associate Director (Managed Services).   This is a twelve month fixed term appointment. You must hold a valid right to work in the UK. BPSS clearance is required; SC clearance, or a willingness to be vetted, is an advantage.
