• Proven experience in portfolio delivery of digital/data/technology projects, ideally in complex or regulated environments.
• Deep understanding of software development, IT infrastructure, DevOps, Agile and Waterfall lifecycles.
• Strong technical acumen with a hands-on approach and respect from development and technical teams.
