• Developing and maintaining clear project plans, schedules, and delivery milestones
• Working with the team to ensure projects are planned and resourced appropriately

• Leading resource allocation, scheduling, and tracking, taking ownership without needing heavy oversight
• Ensuring deliverables meet high-quality standards, aligning outcomes to success metrics
• Taking responsibility for increasingly complex projects, understanding the broader organisational context
• Building and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships across functions
• Supporting team collaboration and mentoring others by sharing learnings and best practices
• Staying up to date with project management methodologies and industry trends
• Creating a positive, high-performing delivery culture where issues are raised early and solved quickly
