Acting as the Client Representative and Program Management Lead, you will become the central coordination point across stakeholders including hyperscale clients, OEMs, contractors, technology partners and delivery teams.
This is not a traditional PMO role.
This is a role for someone who can step into ambiguity, create structure, influence senior stakeholders and ensure momentum is maintained across a programme operating against aggressive timelines and zero contingency.
Working closely with senior programme leadership, you will help establish governance, improve visibility, drive accountability and ensure all parties remain aligned towards a common delivery objective.
The Role
As the Client Representative, you will act as a trusted extension of the client's leadership team, providing programme support, delivery coordination and governance oversight across multiple organisations and workstream.
You will bring order to complexity by establishing clear reporting structures, maintaining programme controls and ensuring risks, dependencies and delivery constraints are actively managed and communicated.
