• Establishing strong governance across budgets, risks, issues, decisions, reporting and benefits
• Coordinating internal teams and external technology partners, and managing vendor commitments and performance
• Navigating dependencies across architecture, integration, data, testing, cyber security, organisational change and business readiness
• Applying human-centred design and co-design so solutions work for the people affected by change
• Facilitating workshops that encourage contribution, constructive challenge and shared ownership
• Coaching project team members and championing practical improvements to delivery practice

What you’ll bring

• Practical experience with human-centred design, service design or co-design
• Strong project governance across scope, schedule, budget, risk, dependencies, reporting and benefits
• Enough technical fluency to coordinate architecture, integration, data, testing, cyber and business-readiness dependencies
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement, facilitation and negotiation skills, including with senior leaders
• A genuine commitment to coaching others and lifting delivery capability
• A collaborative, curious approach that creates psychologically safe project environments

It would be great if you also have

• Experience in financial services, insurance or another member-based, regulated organisation
• Experience working within an enterprise portfolio or program management office
• Experience combining contemporary delivery approaches with service design and organisational change
