  • Engage with key stakeholders across the organisation to ensure consistency and alignment in the execution of projects.
  • Promote project management best practices and identify learning opportunities to foster efficient and innovative ways of working.

Requirements include:

  • An in-depth understanding of project management methodologies and experience of working with different approaches.
  • Experience of monitoring and evaluation of project performance, including objective setting, developing toolkits, reporting and driving the learning process with stakeholders to achieve ongoing effectiveness.
  • A sound understanding of project budget development and analysis.
  • Effective relationship builder with strong stakeholder management and communication skills, and the ability to adapt to different styles and ways of working.
