Working closely with business leaders, subject matter experts, vendors, and technology teams, you will oversee the delivery of a key project. This opportunity would suit a hands-on Project Manager who enjoys working in fast-paced environments, managing multiple stakeholder groups, and turning complex challenges into practical solutions.



Your new role

You will be responsible for leading project delivery activities including planning, scheduling, governance, stakeholder management, risk management, and vendor engagement. Working closely with business and technology teams, you will ensure project objectives are met, dependencies are managed, and delivery remains aligned with organisational priorities.

The role will involve engaging with senior stakeholders to understand business requirements, facilitate decision-making, manage competing priorities, and maintain momentum throughout the project life cycle.

Exposure to change management, business readiness, and user adoption activities would also be beneficial. Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is delivery-focused, adaptable, proactive, and naturally inclined to find solutions with a 'can do' attitude.
