Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will be a senior technology delivery professional with strong enterprise application implementation experience.

Of particular interest are candidates who can demonstrate ownership of significant ERP, SaaS or packaged application implementations/upgrades, involving multiple business functions, technology teams and external vendors.

You do not need to be a hands-on engineer or architect, but you should have sufficient technical understanding to confidently engage with specialists around application architecture, integrations, cloud/SaaS environments, infrastructure, security, data migration and technical dependencies.

You will combine this technical awareness with excellent project leadership, governance, commercial awareness and stakeholder management, and be comfortable taking full accountability for complex projects from initiation through to successful implementation.
