You will establish robust project controls, manage dependencies across multiple workstreams, and provide clear reporting and insight to senior stakeholders.
You will play a critical role in shaping project delivery approaches, facilitating governance and decision-making, and ensuring projects remain aligned to strategic objectives, budget requirements, and agreed timelines.

Key Responsibilities

- Establish project governance structures and ensure effective decision-making processes.
- Develop and maintain detailed project plans, schedules, budgets, and resource requirements.
- Manage project risks, issues, dependencies, and change controls.
- Provide high-quality reporting and updates to programme boards and senior leadership teams.
- Coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure successful delivery against agreed objectives.
- Work closely with business analysts, change managers, technical specialists, and operational stakeholders.
- Facilitate stakeholder engagement across multiple functions and geographic locations.
- Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to agreed quality standards.
- Drive continuous improvement in project management practices and delivery methodologies.
