· Demonstrate accountability by escalating project risks via appropriate channels as required.

· Proactively build and maintain strong relationships with project teams, internal stakeholders, and external partners to foster collaboration and drive successful outcomes.

· Lead project reviews to capture successes and learnings and ensure project outcomes are embedded into business-as-usual practices.

· Provide coordination support on larger programmes of work, as and when required.

· Demonstrable ability to work with, influence, and advise a variety of internal and external stakeholders at all levels.

· Working knowledge of project management tools, such as Excel, Smartsheet, MS Projects or similar.

· Project Management qualification (e.g. PRINCE2, APM), or evidence of equivalent project management learning or experience.

· Excellent communication and people management skills, with an ability to build relationships, trust, and inspire confidence and respect at all levels.

· Strong team player who can work both independently and collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders.

· Excellent planning and organisational skills, and the ability to manage a varied workload and reprioritise work in accordance with the organisation’s needs. 

· Excellent listening skills, demonstrating flexibility, curiosity, and an ability to learn.

· Strong team player who can work both independently and collaboratively with internal stakeholders at all levels of the organisation.

· Demonstrates good negotiation and influencing skills.

· Demonstrates a proactive and pragmatic approach to investigating and solving problems, strives for continuous improvement and identifies ways to deliver creative and innovative solutions.

· A good blend of strategic and analytical thinking; with an ability to see the bigger picture and make appropriate recommendations.
