• Manage stakeholder communication, providing clear updates on delivery status, risks and priorities.
• Drive process improvements and operational initiatives to improve efficiency, quality and predictability.

Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in a team management role, including direct people management.
• Demonstrated experience coaching and developing teams, including performance management and capability progression.
• Experience managing prioritisation, capacity planning and delivery quality in an operational environment.
• Strong operational planning and decision‑making skills.
• Ability to manage delivery risks and communicate trade‑offs clearly to stakeholders.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management capability.
• Experience using Excel (Pivot Tables / VLOOKUP’s).

Nice to Have

• Degree (or equivalent experience).
• Experience working with global clients or multi‑market delivery environments.
• Experience supporting SaaS or data platform solutions.
