• Managing budget performance across multiple projects, ensuring effective planning and delivery

What we're looking for

• Understanding of multiple project management methodologies (agile and waterfall)
• Comfortable in a dynamic environment where requirements and technologies keep evolving
• Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking applied to complex technological challenges
• Demonstrated stakeholder management, translating client challenges into deliverable solutions
• Ability to scope, shape and size projects alongside technical experts and subject matter specialists
