In this varied role, you will be responsible for leading projects through the full delivery lifecycle, from supporting business case development and defining project scope through to implementation and successful transition into business-as-usual operations. You will manage project plans, budgets, resources and timelines, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget and in line with agreed quality standards. You will also be responsible for stakeholder communications, governance compliance, risk and issue management, and change control, ensuring delivery remains aligned to business priorities and strategic goals.
