• Ensure transparent, consistent and timely communication across all involved teams

Team Leadership & Collaboration

• Coordinate project team members, ensuring clarity of roles, responsibilities and follow‑up actions

Process & Continuous Improvement

• Identify process improvement opportunities and support the development of updated workflows
• Ensure all project documentation is accurate, complete and version‑controlled
• Drive adoption of structured methodologies such as Prince2 or Agile where appropriate

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 3 years’ experience managing medium‑to‑large scale projects in a fast‑paced environment
• Strong background in Digital Transformation or IT Infrastructure & Architecture
• Proven experience delivering complex digital or technology‑enabled projects
• Prince2 and/or Agile certification (essential)
• Excellent organisational, planning and time‑management skills
• Confident communicator with experience facilitating workshops and meetings
