• Comfortable leading multiple workstreams simultaneously at different stages of delivery
• Skilled in managing through uncertainty and change
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills
• Awareness of change management and how it supports effective delivery and adoption
• No hands-on coding needed, but must be confident in tech-first environments

Be part of a high-impact portfolio that’s shaping the future of digital transformation and join at a time where you can directly influence the structure and pace of delivery.
