• Communicate complex technical topics clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership
• Evaluate tools and approaches, making evidence-based recommendations that balance innovation with stability
• Set clear goals and delivery structure, while remaining adaptable in a fast-moving environment

YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Proven experience as a Technical Programme Manager or Project Manager in a tech-led or digital environment
• Strong track record delivering large, cross-functional transformation programmes
• Experience with systems consolidation, platform optimisation or similar technology change initiatives
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Confident influencing senior leaders and driving alignment across teams
• Experience working in Agile or modern delivery environments
• Solid understanding of software development workflows, data platforms and monitoring tools
• Curiosity around AI and emerging technologies, and how they can improve efficiency and ways of working
• Analytical, evidence-driven mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
