This role will suit someone with experience in project coordination or Junior PM, with the ability to operate across both traditional and agile delivery models. You will be responsible for planning, coordinating and driving delivery across multiple IT project workstreams, ensuring timelines, risks, dependencies and stakeholder expectations are effectively managed.

- Ability to plan, track and manage work using project plans, backlogs or similar tools
- Strong stakeholder communication skills with the ability to provide regular updates and maintain alignment
- Experience managing risks, issues and dependencies across a project lifecycle
- Evidence of driving delivery outcomes, not just supporting administrative coordination
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities
Desirable Experience:
- Experience owning or delivering small projects end-to-end
- Experience working within a PMO or structured governance environment
- PRINCE2 Foundation (or equivalent project management certification)
- Agile or hybrid certification (e.g. AgilePM, Scrum, SAFe Foundation)
- Experience mentoring junior team members or supporting wider project teams
- Familiarity with project tools such as Microsoft Project, Smartsheet or similar
- Experience using agile tooling (e.g. Jira, Trello, Asana)
