• Experience building project plans and managing end-to-end delivery
• The ability to introduce structure, governance and reporting where processes are still maturing
• A pragmatic approach to problem-solving and issue resolution
• Confidence working with both business and technical teams
• A hands-on mindset with a willingness to take ownership and drive outcomes

This role would suit an autonomous Project Manager who understands the realities of delivery and is happy rolling their sleeves up to get things done.
