  • Ensure accurate scoping of projects and work with stakeholders to identify and secure the resources needed for successful delivery.
  • Establish cross-functional project teams and foster a highly collaborative working environment.
  • Ensure strong governance is in place to enable timely decisions to be made and provide confidence that the project will deliver what's needed.
  • Identify, plan, and request any resources required for your projects in good time, ensuring that where constraints exist, there is sufficient time to source additional resource or work through prioritisation processes.
  • Proactively manage risks, issues, and dependencies – communicating across teams where there is a wider impact.
  • Expertly manage your project forecast against approved budget with clear, phased forecasts, prompt accruals, and proactive analysis & response to any variances.
  • Report effective, accurate, and timely performance data, both quantitative and qualitative, for your projects, including the budget and timescales.
Requirements:
  • Extensive and diverse experience of successfully delivering complex projects to achieve strategic organisational goals, often in an uncertain or fast-paced environment.
  • Flexibly and pragmatically apply project management disciplines with minimum bureaucracy to unlock business change.
  • Apply analytical and facilitation skills to find solutions to unblock a project, and move forwards, when the way forward isn't clear.
  • Lead, influence, and drive change by rallying others behind your plan – motivating your project team to collectively deliver goals.
  • Outstanding communication and influencing skills both within your project teams, with the Executive, and the wider organisation.
  • Hold a recognised industry qualification such as PRINCE2, MSP, Agile PM, or APMI Change Management or equivalent.
  • Detailed project planning using recognised project management tools.
  • Work across multiple projects simultaneously, managing conflicting priorities and interdependencies.
