- Mentor project managers and delivery professionals, sharing best practices and helping improve overall delivery capability.
Requirements

- Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and build strong relationships without direct authority.
- Strong executive presence, communication and presentation skills, with the ability to adapt communication for senior leadership and delivery teams.
- Experience creating program strategy, integrated delivery plans, governance structures and decision-making frameworks.
