• Manage vendor relationships, procurement processes, and contract compliance.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams and facilitate collaboration across departments and external partners.
• Maintain accurate project documentation (plans, risk registers, status reports, change logs).
• Monitor progress, proactively address risks and dependencies, and ensure timely resolution.
• Provide clear, concise updates to senior stakeholders through reports and presentations.

• Experience managing projects of varying size and complexity.
• Strong knowledge of project management frameworks (PMBOK, PRINCE2, Agile).
• Excellent organisational and communication skills with proven stakeholder management capability.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and deliver under tight deadlines.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Desirable
