The Opportunity:

You will be stepping into a project that’s off track. Limited time. High accountability.

  • Proven experience recovering failing or delayed technology projects
  • Strong technical grounding - able to operate credibly with engineers
  • Demonstrable track record of turnaround delivery under pressure
  • Excellent problem-solving and root cause analysis capability
  • Experience in regulated environments (e.g. Transport, Utilities, Telecoms, Rail, etc.)
  • Ability to operate with urgency, clarity, and minimal oversight


Additional value:

  • Exposure to test environments (labs, test track, etc.)
