The Skills that will Make You Successful

• Extensive project and program management experience with a demonstrable track record delivering multi-year, high budget and large scale projects and programs ideally on a global level. You will be guiding project delivery teams in project management best practices, so it is imperative that you have recent practical experience of having delivered projects.

Sometimes you will be interacting at executive level and on other occasions giving advice, mentoring and guidance to project managers on best practices. You will be comfortable and adept at tailoring messages to these diverse audiences, and are happy rolling up your sleeves to help project teams remove roadblocks that impede project progress when necessary.
• You are a strong and influential leader who collaborates naturally with others whatever their level in the organization. You demonstrate advanced problem solving skills which you will use to improve our consistency in areas such as project planning, estimating and project delivery.
• You have an inquisitive disposition, are detail oriented and must be comfortable performing administrative tasks as well as the more strategic work you will be called on to undertake.
• Pragmatism and the ability to strike the balance between the need for process ‘Do it Right’ versus the need to accelerate project delivery and not overburden teams with unnecessary administrative overhead is key.
• Your formal education ideally includes a technical degree with PMP and PMI-ACP (Agile Certified Practitioner) or equivalent Agile experience strongly preferred.

The Value You’ll Deliver

You have a very strong background in project delivery and feel comfortable mentoring and guiding project teams and their leaders in industry best practice.
