• Proactively manage risks, issues, actions, dependencies, and escalations to support successful delivery.
• Produce concise project reporting, highlighting project health, delivery risks, overdue actions, and key decisions.
• Create transparency across workstreams and ensure effective communication of project updates, decisions, and changes.
• Support the project through testing, deployment readiness, go-live, and post-go-live stabilization.

Requirements

• Proven hands-on Project Management experience within complex technology, HR, or enterprise transformation programs.
• Formal Project Management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent).
• Strong experience managing project plans, RAID logs, governance, reporting, and cross-functional dependencies.
• Excellent facilitation, stakeholder management, and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a global, matrixed environment and quickly integrate into an ongoing project.
