IT Project Delivery Coordination

Assist with IT project delivery tracking and reporting. Maintain action logs, risk logs, issue registers, and status reports. Coordinate updates from project leads and technical teams, and support governance forums and management meetings.

IT Governance Management

Produce regular reporting on access management activities, audit actions, risk items, and governance metrics. Support the preparation of materials for management committees and governance forums, and maintain governance records and departmental registers.

What we're looking for:

• Experience in user access management, identity administration, IT operations, IT governance, or related disciplines
• Understanding of access control principles, including least privilege and segregation of duties
• Experience supporting audits, compliance reviews, or governance activities
• Strong organisational and administrative skills
• Experience maintaining policies, procedures, or operational documentation
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
