- Monitoring progress, anticipating risks and dependencies, and implementing practical solutions and improvements to keep projects moving and strengthen future delivery.

About you You are highly organised, proactive and practical, with the confidence to take ownership of your work and operate independently. You can manage competing priorities, think on your feet and come forward with solutions when challenges arise.

You plan effectively,

Your skills include

- Experience coordinating projects or initiatives involving multiple stakeholders.
- Strong organisational and administrative skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
- Experience coordinating suppliers, contractors, venues, travel logistics or service providers.
