You’ll be an influential and supportive leader; someone who can bring out the best in project managers, build strong relationships across departments, and engage senior stakeholders with credible insight and clear reporting. You’ll be comfortable overseeing multiple priorities, making informed decisions, and stepping in to personally lead key projects when required.

If you’re someone who thrives on improving processes, strengthening delivery capability, championing high standards, and supporting teams to achieve successful outcomes, we’d love to hear from you.
