• Proven experience delivering IT infrastructure and technology projects
• Strong Project Management experience with a focus on execution and delivery
• Experience across Waterfall, Agile (Scrum) and Hybrid delivery environments
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Microsoft Project experience
• JIRA experience, particularly within Agile delivery environments
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and strong ownership

Technical Environment:

• Microsoft technologies and infrastructure projects
• COTS applications
• Cyber Security projects
• Some Linux-based environments
• JIRA and Microsoft Project

Soft Skills:

• Strong delivery focus and accountability
• Proactive approach to problem-solving
• Ability to operate in a high-volume delivery environment
• Self-sufficient and capable of quickly adding value
• Comfortable challenging stakeholders and driving decisions where required
