> Managing project risks, mitigation and associated reporting.

> Co-ordinating and facilitating project team meetings and other project communication channels. Liaise regularly with clients and internal teams on project status and delivery.

> Develop and maintain the procedures and toolset to report project status in terms of financial and technical progress, working between the technical delivery team and the finance department, reporting to the senior leadership team.

> Proven working knowledge of project management methodologies (for example Agile, Prince 2, Lean Six Sigma).

> Previous project management experience within a research or high-technology environment, ideally with a focus in the automotive, aerospace or marine sectors.

> Ability to lead and motivate people across teams to achieve results, on time and on budget.

> Strong communication and relationship-building skills; comfortable with supplier management, acting as a customer interface and presenting to senior management.

> Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to adapt personal style to different audiences, influence and challenge effectively.

> Ability to analyse and assess information and situations, and present creative solutions to challenges.
