• Keeping delivery on track against the business case and adjusting course where needed

About You

• Adept at navigating multi-vendor programmes and managing competing priorities

• Familiar with environments where AI or analytics programmes run alongside core IT delivery

• A confident, structured leader who can bring clarity and momentum in fast-moving situations
