• Identify delivery risks early and develop mitigation strategies to minimise impact on delivery commitments.
• Respond to shifting partner needs, business goals, or market conditions by adapting plans and
• execution as necessary, while maintaining delivery integrity and stakeholder transparency.
• Maintain delivery health metrics and provide regular, accurate reporting on delivery status, risks, and progress.
• Serve as the primary delivery interface for super fund partners and Administrators, coordinating implementation activities and ensuring partner-facing commitments are met with clarity and
• accountability.
• Lead and support delivery team members through coaching, feedback, and professional
• development.

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of delivery management experience in a technology organisation, with a proven track record of leading end-to-end software delivery across multiple squads or workstreams
