The Opportunity

Provide delivery leadership across a portfolio of software and digital projects, working closely with Agile delivery teams to ensure successful outcomes are achieved.

• Leading Agile ceremonies including stand-ups and delivery planning activities
• Managing project schedules, milestones, and deliverables
• Proactively identifying and removing delivery blockers
• Coordinating activities across multiple teams and stakeholders
• Supporting the successful delivery of software, digital, and platform enhancement initiatives

About You

You'll bring proven experience delivering software or digital projects within large and complex environments and be comfortable managing multiple workstreams simultaneously. We're looking for someone who has:

• Strong experience delivering software development and digital initiatives
• Excellent understanding of Agile delivery practices and software delivery lifecycles
• Experience managing competing priorities across multiple projects
• M365 experience or knowledge

If you're an experienced Project Manager who enjoys driving delivery, navigating complexity, and helping teams succeed, we'd love to hear from you.
