• Producing clear progress updates and decision papers for senior stakeholders.

• Ability to communicate comfortably with stakeholders from technical and non-technical backgrounds.

• Strong organisational skills - able to prioritise, manage risk, and solve problems quickly.

• Experience coordinating suppliers and ensuring value for money on deliverables.

• Confidence running workshops and engaging users to influence positive change.

• Understanding of CRM, workflow or case management systems - desirable but not essential.

• An improvement-focused mindset, always looking for smarter ways of working.

• A strong collaborator who builds trust and brings teams together.

• Ability to balance governance and delivery pace in a complex organisation.

• Motivation to take ownership of a high-profile programme and deliver tangible results.

What\'s on Offer

• Leadership of a transformational digital initiative from day one.

• Opportunities for continued career progression into wider change programmes.
