The successful candidate will be equally comfortable operating at the executive level and working directly with technical teams. This includes presenting program strategy, risks, financials, dependencies and key decisions to senior leadership, while also partnering with architects, engineers, data teams and development teams to understand delivery challenges, facilitate technical discussions and drive issues through to resolution.

Identify risks and delivery issues early and drive appropriate mitigation, escalation and resolution. Facilitate alignment between business stakeholders and technical teams when requirements, priorities, timelines or technical constraints are not aligned. Support effective decision-making by ensuring stakeholders have the appropriate context, options, risks and recommendations.
