Your role

• Be trusted to own the vision and influence the team to ensure that the client receives high-impact and value from each iteration.

• Have people management responsibilities and actively support the development and career progression of other PMs.
• Understand industry trends, look for new opportunities for work within your projects, contribute to proposals and drive innovation which will increase client value e.g., use of Generative AI to enhance business processes.

• Influence and leadership to steer our digital delivery projects, working with our leaders in Capgemini and our clients.
• Commitment to professional development, with relevant agile certifications such as PSPO and/or CSP-PO.
• Potential is also just as important to us as having the required skills. If you have the right mindset and you're passionate about the role, we will be able to provide you with bespoke training and the support to build all the skills you need.
• The ability to understand the architecture and the technologies being used to deliver a product/service.
• Be the intermediary between user-centered design, business requirements and solution design.
• Influence strategy and leadership direction within complex engagements.
• Produce Roadmaps, solve complex problems, deliver compelling messages.
