• Managing risks, issues, dependencies and changes
• Tracking delivery, resources and forecasts
• Running project meetings, planning sessions and governance

• Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and producing concise reporting
• Experience with Agile or other iterative delivery approaches
• Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Confluence or MS Project
