  • You’ll be used to working within a governance framework, providing appropriate controls and reporting on project progress, benefits and achievements in a timely and efficient manner.
  • You’ll support implementation and training activities including transfer into BAU operational

Your skills and experience:

  • Delivery of IT and business change projects is essential, alongside the proven capability of managing multiple senior stakeholders
