• Risk and issue management: Proactively identify, monitor, and mitigate risks, issues, and programme dependencies to minimize disruption and maintain delivery momentum.
• Stakeholder management: Build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, providing structured reporting, updates, and insight into programme health, progress, and blockers.
• Resource and budget management: Own and manage budgets, forecasts, and resource planning in alignment with strategic and operational goals.
• Continuous improvement: Foster a culture of learning and improvement by evaluating project outcomes, gathering feedback, and implementing best practices for future delivery cycles.
• Vendor & partner engagement: Oversee third-party contributions, manage contractual obligations, and drive accountability among vendors to ensure quality delivery and partnership value.
• Compliance and QA: Ensure all programme activities comply with internal governance frameworks and external regulatory or industry standards where applicable.

• 5+ years of senior-level project or programme management experience, preferably in complex, multi-stream environments
• Strong command of programme management frameworks (PMP, PRINCE2, MSP, Agile, or hybrid methodologies)
• Hands-on experience with project management tools such as Microsoft Project, Jira, Asana, or equivalent platforms
• Proven success managing budgets, timelines, stakeholder expectations, and programme outcomes in high-pressure environments
• Outstanding communication and leadership skills, with the ability to operate at both strategic and operational levels
