A bit about you

You are an experienced project delivery professional who thrives in complex, fast-paced environments and enjoys turning strategy into tangible outcomes. You bring strong end-to-end project management expertise, coupled with the ability to navigate ambiguity, influence senior stakeholders and drive alignment across diverse teams.

You have a proven track record delivering large-scale transformation, operational improvement or telecommunications initiatives, with experience managing competing priorities, risks, dependencies and resources to achieve successful outcomes. You are equally comfortable working at a strategic level with senior leaders as you are engaging delivery teams to remove roadblocks and maintain momentum.

Your ability to communicate with clarity, influence without authority and maintain focus on outcomes will be key to your success in this role.
