  • Provide clear, concise, and confident communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Deliver executive-level reporting and governance, including steering committees, RAID management, financial tracking, and benefits realization.
  • Drive internal world-wide teams and external suppliers to maintain momentum, resolve dependencies, and deliver against agreed milestones.
  • Lead information security-related initiatives, with a proven track record of delivering security controls, compliance, and risk remediation projects.
  • Deliver infrastructure and platform projects across server infrastructure, VMware, networking, cloud (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), and end-user computing, including integration with enterprise
    applications.
  • Apply Project Management best practices using Waterfall, Agile, and hybrid methodologies, defining workstreams, sprints, release plans, and tracking delivery progress.
  • Operate effectively in a remote and hybrid working environment, managing geographically dispersed teams.
