• Manage programme timelines, scope, dependencies, resources, budgets and delivery milestones.
• Establish reporting mechanisms and use delivery metrics to provide clear, data-driven updates to stakeholders.
• Identify risks, resolve blockers and drive projects towards predictable, successful delivery.

• Mentor colleagues and contribute to team development and recruitment.

About You

• 5+ years of experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder programmes within a global organisation or similar environment.
• Experience managing cross-functional teams, programme dependencies and multiple vendors.
• Strong understanding of technology infrastructure and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical and senior stakeholders.
• Experience with programme financial planning, business cases, budgets and forecasting.
• Excellent stakeholder management, problem-solving and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently, manage ambiguity and drive progress with limited guidance.
• PMP, PRINCE2 or an equivalent project/programme management qualification is desirable, alongside relevant practical experience.
