• Ensure successful transition of completed sites into BAU support.

We're looking for someone who has successfully delivered multi-site technology rollout programmes and is comfortable working in fast-paced operational environments.

You'll ideally have experience with:

• Delivering multi-site IT deployment programmes.
• Coordinating infrastructure, hardware or technology rollouts across multiple locations.
• Managing third-party suppliers and technical delivery partners.
• Planning and delivering site implementations with minimal operational disruption.
• Managing multiple workstreams simultaneously.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
