• Collaborate with Product Owners, Talent Acquisition stakeholders, HR Technology teams and enterprise IT delivery teams.
• Support delivery coordination across multiple interconnected workstreams.
• Contribute to the delivery of scalable, secure and compliant Talent technology solutions.

What you will have:

• Project or Delivery Analyst experience within IT programmes.
