  • Develop, maintain, and manage detailed project plans and dependencies.
  • Identify, manage, and report project risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies (RAID), and work with the programme manager to mitigate them.
  • Lead and manage teams, including permanent staff, suppliers, and third-party staff across different time zones and locations.
