You will coordinate and manage multiple digital projects from concept to delivery across the full customer lifecycle, including post-implementation Business-as-Usual (BAU) request management.

This rewarding role is pivotal in ensuring our customers’ success by driving seamless execution of technical projects, including platform migration onto the cloud-based Forrit One CMS.
