• Manage project scope, schedules, budgets, risks, issues, dependencies, reporting and delivery artefacts.
• Develop input to business cases, project plans, governance papers, status reports and implementation plans.
• Track project expenditure, forecasts, vendor estimates and budget variances in line with approved funding.
• Work with stakeholders to understand requirements and ensure technical solutions are practical, supportable and aligned to business outcomes.
• Support change, communications, readiness, training and transition planning to help ensure project outcomes are adopted and sustained.

• Experience working within Agile, hybrid and/or structured project delivery methodologies, with the ability to adapt your approach to different projects.
• Proven ability to build relationships and collaborate effectively with business stakeholders, technical teams and external vendors.
