To be successful in this role you will have the following skills/experience:
- A minimum of 3 years’ experience managing full project lifecycles, including design, delivery, monitoring, evaluation and ongoing improvement.
- Evidence of making effective, independent decisions that have driven successful project outcomes.
- Experience developing and maintaining strong project controls to support governance, reporting and accountability.
- Proven ability to manage budgets accurately and confidently.
- High IT competency, including experience with CRM or database systems.
- Excellent communication skills — written and verbal — with the ability to tailor messaging to different audiences and influence effectively.
