n You'll work across multiple business and technology teams, bringing structure, coordination and delivery discipline to a complex project with competing priorities and dependencies.
n While the initial focus will be on this initiative, there is potential to take ownership of additional projects during 2027.

n
n
- Lead projects from initiation and planning through to implementation and operational transition.
n
- Coordinate delivery across SAP, digital platforms, reporting and customer-facing systems.
n
- Establish and maintain project plans, schedules, budgets, RAID registers and governance artefacts.
n
- Manage dependencies, risks, issues and priorities across multiple delivery teams.
n
- Work closely with business stakeholders, technology teams, vendors and external partners.
n
- Lead project governance, including steering committees, executive reporting and financial tracking.
n
- Manage project scope, change requests and delivery milestones.
n
- Coordinate business change, communications, training and adoption activities.
n
- Facilitate decision-making,
remove delivery blockers and maintain project momentum.
n
- Ensure technical delivery remains aligned with business objectives and customer outcomes.
n
- Manage implementation readiness, transition activities and project closure.

n
- Strong experience managing projects spanning business and technology workstreams.
n
- Proven ability to coordinate cross-functional teams, vendors and external delivery partners.
