• Strong sense of ownership, with a clear commitment to delivery – including a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on when needed.

Skills and experience

• Significant experience as a Project Manager delivering complex, multi‑workstream projects or programmes.
• Proven track record of mobilising large‑scale contracts or operational programmes in a commercial environment.
• Strong experience of RAID management, project planning and dependency mapping.
