• Managing risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies throughout the delivery lifecycle.
• Working closely with clients to manage expectations and ensure delivery remains aligned to business requirements.

We’re looking for an experienced technology delivery professional who has already taken ownership of complex projects or major delivery phases.

You’ll ideally have:

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Experience delivering technology transformation within complex environments.

Experience within public sector, health, defence or other highly regulated environments would be advantageous, as would Cloud/SaaS experience or relevant technology certifications.
