- Manage scope, schedule, cost, risks, issues, dependencies and change
- Monitor delivery performance and take action where progress moves away from plan

- Experience managing risks, issues, dependencies, change and project performance
- Strong stakeholder management across multidisciplinary delivery teams
- A recognised Project Management qualification
