- Managing risks, dependencies, and escalations proactively
- Supporting testing, user acceptance, and transition to operational teams
- Providing clear, timely updates to senior stakeholders and PMO leadership
- Facilitating workshops and planning sessions as required

- Strong stakeholder management skills, including working with senior leadership and external suppliers
- Familiarity with Workday implementations or similar ERP/HRIS projects is highly desirable
- Experience delivering projects within professional services or regulated sectors advantageous
- Skilled in structured project methodologies such as PRINCE2, Agile, or hybrid approaches

- Hybrid working model offering flexibility
- Exposure to both application development and enterprise system implementation
