  • Provide hands-on coordination support across multiple project work-streams
  • Organise and manage meetings, including scheduling, agendas, materials and follow-ups

  • Strong organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Confidence working with senior stakeholders and communicating professionally.
  • A proactive, “hands-on” approach with the initiative to pick things up quickly.

  • Comfortable working in a structured programme environment with multiple moving parts.
  • Experience supporting technology transformation programmes will be preferred.
