• Organise regular meetings with key stakeholders to ensure that business priorities, milestones, targets and constraints are reviewed, agreed and managed.
• Exemplify best practice in project activities in particular project planning, stakeholder communications, risk, priority setting and execution within agreed budgets, standards and milestones.

With a qualification in project management or relevant professional experience you'll have proven experience of managing and delivering complex and varied projects (such as software development or third party package implementations), and providing progress reports to senior management, highlighting any issues or risks and advising the appropriate course of action to mitigate against these.
