About you

You will have an understanding of change management in either an operational or a project environment, with an awareness of how to use the appropriate tools and techniques effectively.

We are looking for people with a broad range of change delivery and technology experience, whether this is from a business change or change management role, from delivering technology change or through delivering IT services directly to customers. Previous experience of working in a recognised project delivery environment is preferred, although we welcome applications from candidates who have relevant experience in delivering change and have a desire to move into Project Management.

You will have exceptional communication skills and engage stakeholders comfortably. You are a highly resilient person who handles change well and naturally adapts to changing workloads and environments. You have experience balancing priorities and dealing with ambiguity, and enjoy having autonomy in your role, taking the lead organising and prioritising tasks, being a confident, efficient and an independent thinker.

You enjoy managing a varied and challenging workload; having the capability and confidence to not only provide project support for large scale projects but to also take the lead on medium scale projects.
